GAINESVILLE - FBI agents visited today 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. Obama urged the Rev. Terry Jones to "listen to those better angels" and call off his plan.(continued)

I’m not exactly sure how the sheriff’s department or the city can bill this lunatic minister for extra security. It’s not like they’re marching in the street or on public property. Using that theory, a city government could bill a funeral home for any extra security needed to hold a service for any soldier killed in Iraq or Afghanistan if the Westboro Church decided to demonstrate there.

Good question.

BTW:go to DRUDGE- now one of those real loony churches that protest our dead soldiers is saying they will burn korans if the other preacher doesn’t.

Freedom of speech: end of discussion. If you can piss and defecate on a picture of Jesus, call it art, AND have the taxpayers pay for it; not to mention burn Bibles with impunity, then you can burn a silly Koran.

Modern liberal philosophers look at all religion as complete nonsense anyway. Using their logic, burning a Koran should elicit the same reaction as burning a comic book.

Where was the FBI when the National Endowments for the Arts proudly exhibited a crucifix submerged in a vat of urine ?

I don’t believe it. Where did you hear this?

The more I thought about it, the better it sounded. It is symbolic of how followers of the child rapist hide behind the flag.

After posting, I thought of the perfect accelerant: the bio diesel they made on "The Colony." They rendered down some pig carcases that had ripened past any other possible use and used the fat to run a diesel tractor.

Well, at least we know what constitutes a visit. Where were the FBI when the Ayers/Obama friendship and association (among numerous other associations) should have kept Obama from becoming President due to National Security risks?

True, but they’d have to listen at 20%. ;)

Yep...heard that too. Guess I’ll just have to move the Koran burning to my place.

...Something smells to high heaven with this whole thing...

I've been saying the same thing.

It's interesting that just as the Ground Zero Mosque deal kind of died down then you get General Petraeus coming out with his comment on the Koran burning. Nobody would have noticed had he not done that.

I haven’t watched Hannity the last few days. Are you telling me that he’s openly siding with zero, etc., against this church burning the koran?

That's exactly what he's doing.

Don't know....Just a sentence proclaiming so.

Preacher is doing so to make a point....BO is falling right in the trap. Seriously doubt if he'll follow through unless to embarrass the 0.

“..now one of those real loony churches that protest our dead soldiers is saying they will burn korans if the other preacher doesn’t.”

Very predictable. Publicity seeking loonies hate it when other loonies get more publicity. Next they will try and "one up" them, like using Korans for target practice or to line pig pens.

He should announce that he is going to burn a stack of bibles and see if the FBI shows up then. The silence will be deafening.

More troops will die if Americans hate Islam, so if you kill all the terrorists than this wouldn’t be a problem Obama?

Burning a book doesn't make people violent, it exposes the violence that is already there.

So what does burning a book that condones and Commands violence do then?

this is how we SHOULD of been negociating with the Muslims all along.

Either do as we want... or we make Mecca into a glass parking lot.
