Time Magazine's Joe Klein: Qur'an-burning an "act as murderous as any suicide bomber's"
Jihad Watch ^ | 4/5/11 | Robert

Posted on 04/05/2011 7:40:10 PM PDT by Nachum

Jones, of course, killed no one. Suicide bombers kill as many people as they can for Allah. But Joe Klein is by no means alone in assuming that Muslims cannot control themselves and respond to insult with anything but threats and murder, and thus cannot be held responsible for their own actions. He thus reveals again the multicultural Left's bigotry and ethnocentrism. "Joe Klein Reserves Spot in Hell for Koran-burning Pastor Who's As 'Murderous' As 'Suicide Bombers,'" by Ken Shepherd for NewsBusters, April 4 (thanks to James):

Burning a copy of the Koran is morally equivalent to flying a plane into the World Trade Center and equally eternally damnable.

That's essentially the fatwa of Time magazine's Joe Klein in an April 1 blog post at the magazine's Swampland blog.

Klein was condemning Florida pastor Terry Jones's "trial" and subsequent burning of a Koran which allegedly have sparked a murderous rampage against UN workers in Afghanistan last week:

[T]here should be no confusion about this: Jones's act was murderous as any suicide bomber's. If there is a hell, he's just guaranteed himself an afterlifetime membership.

....Well there ya go!!!.....They just named the ultimate targets for the west to destroy!!!

They don't care if we kill their people in war. So I guess the ultimate targets would be Quar'an printing facilities and any place where they are stored LOL

It doesn't get any more civil than burning Korans or Bibles or even flags, for that matter. "Do unto others." I'd a hell of a lot rather had Muslims burn bibles than kill Americans in the name of their religion. Instead of killing Muslims, we're burning their Korans in the name of freedom from Islam.

In a civilized culture and ethos where souls have more value than books, a faction living therein that by definition refuses the terms, must be shunned. Capitalism could do a pretty nice job of it, if it was allowed to function freely and discriminate against Muslims as easily as it can descriminate now in favor of them.

Islam in America should be shunned such that those who want to push and force it into our society, are compelled to move out of the U.S.A. and back to Islamic countries. Deny them access to the 21st century until they do it on OUR terms. Capitalism can really help because Islam shackles itself such that it chronically fails as a productive culture, rendering it weak. People are free to be Muslims, on their own time and in their own nations. In the USA, Islam "sucks hind tit," as they say. That's where it would be now if regulation didn't prohibit people from discriminating against, and rejecting Islam in their communities. It would make Muslims realize that in their own best interest, better to just shut up about Islam and go on about American freedom and prosperity.

There is nothing more civil than discrimination in peaceful venues, whether it's burning paper or refusing to rent apartments to families where the women are dressed in full body covering, or wait on them in stores, or anything else. Let them live somewhere else. As in, go home or become one of us.

We need freedom, people. That includes freedom to discriminate in peace.

I am discussing this with a soldier on FB who essentially agrees with Klein. Says that it is the pastors fault these people died because sharia law forces muzzies to kill. I kid you not! This is what the American government is teaching our soldiers.

Same in Israel. You would not believe how many pro-Arab Israelis there are in Israel.

I know it sounds crazy, completely freakin nuts, right? But, they exist and there are a lot of them.
I don’t know? It is just some kind of insanity.

Liberalism really should be classified as a certifiable mental illness because it is. We see new examples every day.

These people are CRAZY!

Ask him if he thinks that it is ok to stone a woman for adultery to death or give her a cliterodectomy. What about cutting off the hands of thieves? Is he ok with that? What about executing a woman who does not have 4 male witnesses to testify on her behalf should she be raped? What about the mindless attacks on Christians and Jews world wide that had nothing to do with anything anyone else does? What about non-stop lying to the west (taqqiah)- is he ok with that?

He calls those arguments straw men. He is focused on the fact that the pastor is responsible for the deaths. Not the killers. Becasue they were provoked.

Joe Klein, along with senator Lindsey Graham need to have their own personal lecture from Ann Barnhart

This was excerpted from another FR thread.

--------------------------------------------

A brave Colorado woman named Ann Barnhart.  Thomas Jefferson would have loved this lady.

She pretty well grinds Senator Lindsey Graham to little pieces for his suggestion that Congress should pass a law that outlaws burning of the Koran.

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qeyrp-V3Jvc&feature=player_embedded

 From Barnhart’s oration, we learn that Senator Graham’s position is that during times of war (he had the unbelievably audacity to cite World War II to bolster his argument) there must be limits on things that Americans can or should say that might encourage and embolden the enemy.  We must be polite, or they’ll get angry with us.

Remember, these are the people who like to call themselves “the reason-based community.”

Contemptible beyond belief.

I believe that post is referring to Ann Barnhardt’s identifying Graham and those with a similar mindset as jackasses.
