GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) -- FBI agents visited Thursday with a minister of a small Florida church that plans to burn the Quran on Sept. 11, as public safety became a paramount concern and President Barack Obama added his voice to the chorus of opposition.

Elsewhere, hundreds of angry Afghans burned an American flag and chanted "Death to the Christians" to protest the planned burning of Islam's holiest text.

Did the FBI visit/intimidate the imam planning the 9/11 victory mosque?

If they did it would only be to investigate any Joe the Plumbers who dared to question the appropriateness.

I am at a loss as to why the FBI is getting involved with this, NO CRIME HAS BEEN COMMITED.

They must see this as a DIRECT THREAT to their fearless leader Osama Barrack Hussein (insane) Obama, who is also a Muslime. This pretty well cinches his religious convictions for me.

Meanwhile...Terry Jones’ book, “Islam is of the Devil” is sold out on Amazon. Either that or the 0bozo censorship czar ordered Amazon not to sell it.

Here are my American values now.

I didn’t care one way or another before today. Now I think I will take 6-8 sheets of toilet paper, write “Koran” on it, wipe my butt with it, then burn it.

I’m so fed up with constantly being expected to bend over backwards to pacify every other nut in the world, but told to basically shut up.

UN-f’n believable.
The FBI intimidates a church minister while ACORN steals elections in Illinois, Missouri, etc.

What's more important ?

The Anti-Christian Lawyers’ Union

won’t have anything to say when the target is a nominal Christian church.

Nothing more than pure intimidation, ordered by the imam in the White House. The FBI is very powerful and has extremely sophisticated means to find criminals of every sort. Too bad this administration isn’t using them to find criminals, but instead is using them to intimidate people whose policies are different from his.

For the record - don’t burn the Korans!

Interesting that the response to a no name minister of a small church in Florida even threatening to burn Korans is worldwide attention from the highest levels of governments, and universal concerns about the hatred, terrorism and violence it will spark from fundamentalist Muslims.

And the no name preacher from Florida? People worldwide can belittle him, threaten him, denigrate his faith, his church, his beliefs, burn Bibles and flags ... and no one has to worry that he or his church followers will come and slit their throats as a result.

They burned our flag and chanted “Death to the Christians” on something that has not even happened yet?

And we’re the insensitive ones?

How can the people and this Government be so stupid to not see this irony of this?

After all these news posts recently and the speaking out of our government leaders, I say ...

BURN THAT KORAN!

I am SO sick of this political BS already. Draw that line in the sand now because the crap is about to hit the fan big.

I would like to see an end to this whole ‘don’t offend islam’ issue now!

Uh-oh....I’ll bet Holder has told them that they will be charged with Federal Hate Crimes if they proceed....If I was this guy I wouldn’t set one foot out of line....I’m sure the IRS is checking his financial records.... Typical Liberals using the power of gov’t to persecute those they don’t like.....I disagree with burning the Koran but I support his right to be an idiot an burn it.....

“Let’s see. Private citizen to destroy books he owns on his own private property.

Yup. Send in the FBI, SWAT & Janet Reno.”

Would loved to see the look on their faces IF, after they surrounded Mt. Carmel, they looked over their shoulders to find themselves surrounded by a whole bunch of heavily armed & PO’ed Americans.

Is the FBI going to visit those who are threatening violence in response to this?

A post worthy to repeat. Excellent!
