Islam must be an awfully fragile religion to be so hysterical over one copy of the Koran being burned.

It is. It's second rate and acutely aware of it, hence can abide no competition.

Excellent observations by Andy McCarthy in the National Review on the Florida ‘pastor’ (Terry Jones) Koran-burning show. This cult-like ‘pastor’ must be in publicity heaven, with everyone in America, including the president, howling about his plan to burn Korans. I agree with McCarthy that although Terry Jones is an idiot, the rank hypocrisy from the left when they try to defend the building of the Ground Zero mosque or Obama’s dangerously feeble reactions to a near-nuclear Iraq while claiming that this Koran-burning performance is a jihadist recruiting ‘tool’ are currently on full display for all to see - and America is watching.

All this could be the run-up to the declaring of a “National Emergency” that would result in Obama postponing or calling off the November elections.

We had elections during the Civil War. Burning some book should have no effect.

We didn't have a man in the White House who needed a reason to stop the elections. And it isn't the actual burning of a book, but the way the media and the Obama administration are using the subject.

I believe there is a concerted effort by the left to either provoke or lie about violence on the part of the conservatives over this issue. Your hat may disagree.

THANK YOU. Honestly, Obama’s smarmy entrance into this non-issue REALLY makes me want to burn a Koran. Where is his outrage about the GZmosque? etc.

Plus, they are already burning flags, even before 9/11 and the Pastor’s Planned Burning. Because ‘now we are going to have (yet) another temper tantrum. And it is your fault.’

Such babies.

everybody should threaten to burn a koran unless obama releases his long form birth certificate!

Actually, Jones hopes/hoped to burn a pile of them, but other than that, yours is a point well-taken.
