Things are heating up ...

[dfwgator]

Whatever. They’ll always go out of their way to find something to be outraged about.

[Carley]

Why doesn’t he remind the Afghans that our troops are sacrificing and dying for them and they should knock off the histrionics.

[calex59]

Horse sh** General, our troops are already endangered, especially by the frickin ROE in effect at the moment.

[RexBeach]

Terry Jones is chasing publicity on this issue.

My word, my family is MUCH bigger than his church.

Burning the Koran helps no one and nothing.

If General Pratraeus is concerned about it, I think we ought to back him up.

[BallyBill]

A clear message to Radical Islam? Sounds like a Taliban recruiting stunt to me. Way to Go!

[bill1952]

>It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses

BS! Thats WAY over the top you old fool.
The kind of action that the taliban (precisely) uses is to shoot to death anyone found with a bible!

Don’t equate this with that.

I think burning the koran opens a bridge to promote dialog with nuts like the Victory mosque at G0 Imam.

It also lets muzzies become aware of the 1st Amendment and how Sharia just won't cut it here.

[McGruff]

This moron pastor may just have ignited another 9/11.

Terry Jones

This is all just a promotion for the guy’s book and merchandise available at his website.

[Dr.Zoidberg]

I hope Jones is planning on employing some decent security should he follow through with his plans.

mohammedans aren’t known for being able to exercise self control or civilized behavior.

Here's a video from CNN: Pastor weighing plans to burn Qurans amid U.S. warnings.

Bingo - we have a winner!

[Rummyfan]

Why not burn their holy book? It's high time to stop kowtowing to these fanatics. They have to learn to live in the twenty-first century. Or not....

[353FMG]

That would not be PC.

[Lil Flower]

He should be worrying about winning a war. Not people’s “feelings”. Good God.

"It could endanger our troops

Sure, Gen. Petraeus. and the troops are in no danger at all now, right? The Taliban is SO nice to our boys now! In fact they regularly offer our G.I.'s to join them for tea and offer up their 11-year old boy gay love slaves as a courtesy, right?

These are subhumans. Savages. To be slaughtered. And just as with McChrystal's pathetic 'hearts and minds" bullshit, it looks like Petraeus doesn't get it either. Where is John J. Pershing when we need him?

[Scythian]

In other words, all people must cower in a corner because if a flea crashes into a window the muslim will call for death, tough crap, onward and upwared cowardly general

[ilovesarah2012]

If muslims burned Bibles, do you think Christians would riot and kill people?
