Subject: Standards Center guidance: Planned Sept. 11
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.

No problem. I’m sure it will be on YouTube.
“Chestnuts roasting on an open fire....”
Then use the same policy when they burn flags.
they don’t have a problem showing american flags burning . . .
given AP’s long history of doctoring photos and videos this is no great loss.
I assume the AP won’t cover leftists burning American flags either... We have thin skins too! ( or we can pretend to...)
Someone should quickly invent a “network” or something so that anyone in the world can share pictures or text with anyone else...
I bet Associated Propagandists have no problem with pictures/video/audio of flag burnings, bible burnings, etc...
News is not news.....
. . . and they didn’t have a problem showing a picture of a US soldier dying in iraq (or was it afghanistan?) . . .
(was it the AP, or some other obama fellating MSM organization?)
Not saying anything is going to happen but it's a rough world out there.
The beheading of Daniel Pearl and others at the hands of Islam... WELL... that’s another story!
Hypocrites.
Burn the AP.
I am not sure what is the best path for this. The pastor will be portrayed as a wacko and all Christians being wackos. ALL of TV sucks and they all have Saudi investors or ME business deals so they are ALL pro-Islam.
On the flip side, maybe we show Islam that we are going to start pushing back. If you put a mosque at Ground Zero then be prepared for war.
As conservatives said in the past - the Balkanization of America aka Balkans - former Yugslavia and hundred of years of Christianity fighting back against Islam.

That’s right. Just bury your head in the sand. Or some other place.
LALALALALALALALALALALALALA - I can’t hear you!
The kuran burning will never take place because the obama brown shirts will shut it down. However, the threat of such an action just further reveals how unhinged the LEADERS of islam are. This is the real value in threatening to burn a K(u)ran.
Ass Press: typical hypocritical, wimpy assed pussies.
Come to think of it, the Ass Press and nobama share many qualities.
