"by again demanding that the United States and United Nations bring to justice the pastor of the Dove Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, where the Quran was burned"

Maybe we could cite him for burning GARBAGE without a permit

Should be any minute now.

I’d cite him for wasting perfectly good toilet paper.

These people are certifiable. I mean, can you think of any other group of people who go ballistic at the least little perceived slight? Who contrive grievance at the drop of a hat? They are like small children throwing tantrums, only their tantrums are full of violence and hatred.

Nobody would give a crap over what the muslims do in the middle east if they weren’t sitting on billions of barrels of oil, and we sure as hell would not have any troops over there.

Good point. We have to set back and watch these idiots burn our flag. Maybe we should start acting like them - Laz will get the heads rolling :-)

A wacko pastor burns a book, Islamics go berserk.

Leading authorities in Islamic nations KILL and Christians and nothing happens.

“My, my, maybe Mr. Karzai would like to shut down this thread for incitement and behead Jim Rob for good measure too.”

Corrected for a few minor omissions:
“My, my, Mr. Karzai would like to shut down this thread for incitement and behead Jim Rob for good measure too, after he and AMerica’s Moslims sodomize, and then ‘cut the necks’ of all FReepers first.”

Know your enemy/honor the threat.

Islam Delenda Est - because Islam is antithetical to, and irreconcilable with, America.

If it isn’t a Koran undergoing rapid thermal reduction it would be a Mohammed cartoon or some Mooslim babe not being allowed to wear a shish kebab to school. These savages are so committed to their 7th century culture that were an enlightened reformer ever to emerge he would be under a fartwa before you could say ‘stone him’.

This difference between a radical Mooslim & a moderate one - the radical blows up the towers, the moderate stands & applauds.

Unfortunately the statement that we only care about muslims because of oil is incorrect. Afghanistan has no oil, 9-11 was planned from there. Pakistan is not a big oil producer. The problem is radical Islam, not oil. It’s the oil that allows all of this to cause possible oil disruptions.

Can’t really blame them for going so crazy. They have so little in their lives to keep them busy. If I lived in a plaster hut with a dirt floor and had nothing to do all day but to pray to allah I guess I could see why they would get so crazy if some guy 8000 miles away burned my favorite book—the only book I knew that existed. It’s really a pisser living in the 12th century.

"President Hamid Karzai expressed regret for the 20 protest deaths, but he also further stoked possible anti-foreign sentiment by again demanding that the United States and United Nations bring to justice the pastor of the Dove Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida”

Is Karzai that stupid or is it just the fact that he’s a Muslim?

In Sharia law, once a person has been declared guilty of blasphemy, the punishment is not reserved to some official executioner -- it may be carried out by anybody who finds the guilty party.

I think Karzai may be masking what he's actually saying: Calling for the murder of Terry Jones by any Muslim able to carry out the action.

Yeah, the pastor is a jerk.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This you had better explain. Slapping your enemy in the face, pissing in his water bucket or pulling down his house does not make you a "jerk." These spawns of Satan, these Muslims are our mortal enemies whether one is fully secular or a devout observer of any Judeo Christian or other non Islamic faith. Death and a pox be upon them.

Correctamento!!!

Islam, as practiced by these fundamentalist whackos (who control whole countries)is not a religion in any sense of the word. It is an evil mix of politics, racism, sexism, and any of a hundred other vile and disgusting descriptive words all rolled into one putrid mess, masquerading as a religion.

We should afford them the same treatment that they do us.

The burning of a single Koran incites rioting and the death of 20 muzzies? Perhaps that church in FL has shown us a retaliatory method to repay them for items like the Ft. Hood massacre.......

These guys live on the longest one-way street in the world. When their Taliban buddies fired away at those Buddhist carvings in Bamiyan with field pieces, that was OK. However, when someone in FL burns a Koran, it’s “Death to the Infidels.”

“President Hamid Karzai expressed regret for the 20 protest deaths, but he also further stoked possible anti-foreign sentiment by again demanding that the United States and United Nations bring to justice the pastor of the Dove Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida””
Is Karzai that stupid or is it just the fact that he’s a Muslim? In the US there’s no justice to be administered for burining a book (or at least there hasn’t been). Of course we’ve seen a lot of firsts the last couple years.
Oh, for the joys of sharia.”

Why, then, are we wasting the lives of our soldiers, time, our nation’s treasure, and our breaths over there?

To support a government that believes as does this?

What is needed to win The West’s struggle with the Islamic world is obvious: a literal “re-colonization” of Islamic territories, the removal of Islamic governments, military rule (American or Western European), the banning of the practice of Islam (was not Nazism essentially banned in postwar Germany?) and the mass conversion of the populations to Christianity. It would take 75-150 years, but unless this is done, Islam will keep growing as The West continues to cower.

I’ve seen little since September 11, 2001 to convince me that The West is winning.

In fact, I’ve seen little that indicates that The West even WANTS to win.

Just sayin’....

I started off thinking the pastor was a jerk. I am more and more coming around to thinking he has provided a valuable public service. He is revealing who believes in free speech and true liberty, and who believes in the so-called right to not be offended.

Many of our supposed Western brethren are coming out for the latter, which means they don’t really believe in the former.

“Islam is not being attacked by an entire country or an entire religion, Islam is only being attacked by a radical.

Isn't it strange how if one nut in Florida burns a quran, then it's death to America. However, when many islamic radicals are killing americans we should only blame the individuals and the rest of islam is not involved.

very good point — stop the Moslem immigration to the West. If we really need people there are plenty of skilled Christians or even hindus/Buddhists out there.

Oh, I'm very sensitive to cultural diversity -- I'm an ex-Delawarean living in Poland who's lived before in England, Bahrain, Belgium and extended periods in Bahrain, Hong Kong and India. Why, even in the US in all the places I've lived in, there are different cultures, different "American" cultures

However, Izlam is NOT a culture, but a socio-political evil wrapped up in religion. It has no "culture" of it's own and I pay it zero respect which is about how much it merits
