Quran burning
Colleagues,
As you know, a group known as the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla., has announced that it intends to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11.
-snip-
Should the event happen on Saturday, the AP will not distribute images or audio that specifically show Qurans being burned, and will not provide detailed text descriptions of the burning.

Since they don’t have a problem with censorship, (self imposed at this point), then they shouldn’t object to it after the right takes over in November.

Seems to me that the muslims (good, bad or indifferent) have won - or we have capitulated.
Not sure why we just don’t go ahead and convert and make it easier on ourselves. /s

They could build it out of tubes . . .

They do it NOW. I’m not seeing a difference.

EXCELLENT idea! If everyone buries their heads in the sand and can't see it, it didn't happen!

(sigh) Once again we see Muslim threats of violence trumping American’s rights of free speech.
I for one will be burning a Koran Sunday, filming it and putting it on youtube.
Want to know why?
Read the tagline

Ultimately, in a sense, their reaction shows them for what they are!!
A bunch of barbarians!!
Intolerant! Tribal! Xenophobic!
Make no mistake. Islam wants us to tolerate them only until they take over. After that, if you dare disagree with them, they WILL kill you!!!

I’m betting YouTube pulls videos down if they depict the burning, just as they pul down videos with images of Muhommed.
Nobody wants to be the target of a terrorist attack.
As for the AP, someone should burn a bible, and after the AP send the picture around, tell them that it was a trick, and they put a bible cover on a Koran.
Then watch their heads explode (figuratively, hopefully, and not because the terrorists blow them up for running the picture).

by definition... this would be censorship.
obviously

So the AP picks and chooses what the unwashed masses can view or not view?
