Obviously they do, otherwise what is the purpose behind burning it?

This “pastor” has already made the point: he has pointed out the hypocricy and lies of the Left, the media, and most of all the muzzies...wouldn’t surprise me if he NEVER intended to burn them in the first place.
If islam is TRULY tolerant, where are the “moderate” muslims defending his right to burn the unholy koran?

"Well I'm not opposed to tuning Iran into a glass parking lot. This is just a stupid thing to do."

So you're willing to kill millions, but yet are against buring the book of satan?

I bet this westbororo baptist wannabe would think twice about this crap if he had arabic Christian family members living within reach of the Islamic mobs. Or maybe he wouldn’t care anyhow, long as he gets his 15 minutes.

By now you should realise that Muslims think differently about speaking out against anything that has to do with their religion, good or bad.

“What do you expect the media to do after it was announced?”

Ignore it. The media is pretty good at ignoring things. They’ve ignored Obama’s birth record, they’ve ignored Obama’s refusal to release college transcripts, they’ve ignored what Black Liberation Theology really means, and on and on.

If I annouce I’m going to hang Iran’s Imadinnerjacket in effigy in my front yard this weekend, I bet the media would ignore it. They have the capacity.

Normally, I wouldn’t say a word against some guy doing whatever he wants to his possessions on his property, and I’m as mad as anyone else that the liberals and media are showing preferential treatment toward Muslims (how many Bible-burnings and indignities to Christian symbols make this much news?).

However, I think, given Jone’s background (Westboro connections—does anybody here honestly believe an ally of Fred God-Hates-US-Soldiers-and-We-Deserved-9/11 Phelps truly wants to speak out against those who would harm America?), he is a liberal troll attempting to lure patriots all over the country to behave in a way the media can easily label “fanatical.” You have nothing to lose by NOT burning a Koran, so why risk walking into a trap?

Count me with those who say “He has the right to do it, but it’s a bad idea. Now, can we please shut up about it?”

Why can't these koran burners do something that the media and Obama administration and other liberals find less controversial?

Things like:

Not all the media. You know it only takes one media outlet to start something going that may generate revenues. Besides, do you really thing freepers would let it be ignored?

I think hanging an effigy, is way lass of an international story than something like burning the koran, don’t you?

I agree that we give this too much attention. If asked, American officials should just say, “Yeah, like any country, we've got mouth-breathing cretins who burn books. At least we know ours for what they are, and nobody’s going to give them the time of day.”

Maybe it’s time we fight back with the same force and vigor against those who seek to destroy our peace and prosperity here in America!
You can’t fight animals like a gentleman, with rules of engagement and other such nonsense that mean nothing to our enemy!
I say we pick up a weapon and stand a post in our own neighborhoods!

I have also referred repeatedly on BreakPoint to the dangers of the Islamist movement, which is an ideologically extreme perversion of the Islamic faith.”

Chuck Colson here makes the same mistake that so many others make which results in a fundamental misunderstanding of the danger. The Islamist movement is not a perversion (extreme or otherwise) of the Islamic faith. It is a correct interpretation of Islam based upon Mohammed’s writings as well as his life. Islam seeks world domination through intimidation, coercion, enslavement and mass murder depending upon the circumstances. This can no longer be denied as it is being played out in various places around the globe in the present as well as over the past 1,400 years.

This pastor may be a whack-job, but at some point Islam needs to be identified as the threat it really is and dealt with accordingly.

Terry Jones is a kook, and Christians, or people representing themselves as Christian should skip public burnings of anything in favor of ministering to people trapped in satanic beliefs like Islam. That said, people everywhere, the world over, without fanfare, should burn every Koran that pollutes their household. There is no need to draw attention to the ordeal, just throw them in the fireplace, the barrel you burn your grass clippings in, or throw them in the trash, and let the city burn it for you. Short of that, people who can use them for toilet paper without reading in the mental poison, should utilize the paper for that task.

I sure hope he goes forward with it. If its stopped it will once again show that muslims threats of violence trump American Free speech.

Obviously it has. Keep up on the news and you will see how much affect it has upon the muzzies.

“Not all the media. You know it only takes one media outlet to start something going that may generate revenues. Besides, do you really thing freepers would let it be ignored?”

You’re apparently without a clue in many areas. You categorize all freepers the same? You really think a story gets legs based on a few reports, regardless of the outlet? You really believe koran burning is different than hanging someone in effigy?

You’re brainwashed, and don’t demonstrate the abilty to think critically.

Good luck, you’ll need it.
