They shot at my b-i-l’s plane on his first arrival at Hussein’s airport. Some ‘band of men’ missed his plane with a rocket launcher. And they killed my best friend’s brother as he slept in the tent where the sick were staying. All of this before koran’s were burned.
I so agree. I got called a coward, a terrorist sympathizer, a jiahdi-lover and other such lovely things by a couple of subterranean morons here on FR two nights ago for saying pretty much the same thing.
Glad to see there are plenty of FReepers with some common sense.
spoke to a friend over in Kabul and asked him about this and he said good for him to burn the koran and when I asked about putting him in danger he laughed and said what do you thin we’re in right now, we can’t be in any more danger than now can we.
so for the idiots saying what bozo said about soldier in danger now then wake up , we’re in a war
Do you SERIOUSLY think the Islamofascist need something like this to get recruits?
PAHLEEEEZE, just being an infidel(non-Islamofascist) is a recruiting tool for these cultist.
These extremist don’t need this to recruit! They are taught to hate America from birth!
So if this fellow had NOT burned the Koran, the jihadis would NOT be recruiting more people for their religious hate cause?
Yeah, I’m sure. This guy is a HERO. EXERCISING HIS FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS. ON AMERICAN SOIL.
That BS about “Oh, this will make it HARDER on our military”-what, you think they’re over there having a grand old time right now???? Islamofascists are throwing everything including the kitchen sink at our troops! While HolyO ties their hands and doesn’t let them do their jobs, feh. >:-(
God protect this brave man, and may God bless and protect all our military in harm’s way. They’re already *there*, this guy isn’t making it worse, he’s showing the world WHY they are fighting over there!!!
First of all I agree that it was a stupid thing to do, we have always held the moral and civil high ground in this war.
However, to say that an American exercising his Constitutional rights endangers our service men and women is insulting to those who, for that very reason, have voluntarily put on a uniform, picked up arms and have taken an oath to stand between us and our enemies and fight .
Disappointed in Gen Petraeus. It’s like we’ve gotta make the muslims like us, if we do something bad, they will kill our soldiers. Duh. They only thrive on weakness.
And we’ve been very weak under our current leadership.
Right, and girls in short skirts are just asking to be raped. /s
Well oh my, aren’t you the good, obedient, subservient little infidel.
But the free exercise of the First Amendment causing potential harm to the troops is a failure of Islamists’, not a failure of law-abiding Americans.
That possible harm may come of it is true. But fault lies with them, not us.
So you approve of the “protection” racket? Do you honestly think that if we never burn another Koran, they’ll want to hold hands and sing kumbayah with us?
Here’s the thing. We can assume the fetal position and huddle in the corner hoping we won’t “offend” anyone, or we can use our 1st Amendment rights, or at least the ones that are within the law.
Which would you choose?
And what was the recruiting tool that precipitated 9/11/2001?
My son’s planning on enlisting in the Marines next month. Please, keep him in your prayers.
You think the radical Islamists need a recruiting tool for the jihadists?
That would be like Jewish people needing a recruiting tool for a Shiva, or Catholics needing a recruiting tool for a wake.
Islam has had the recruiting tool for way over a millennium. They call it the Koran!
Do you really think that if we are quiet and say nothing they will stop their global murder of humanity!?
This man is not to blame for the evil of Islam.
What did they use to recruit them for 9-11?
