The new rage boys had a good day.

Though a member of FR for years now I Haven’t written a vanity in a long time, but because of the events of the last few days re-- the quran burning controversy, I am going to break that trend and humbly ask that my fellow freepers read this.
When crosses were put in urine, when flags are burned, when the virgin mary was depicted with feces, what was our response? Yes it stung, yes it made many of us angry, but our response was we denounced these actions with words. There was no violence, nor threat of violence.
Contrast that to the response of muslims to burning the Koran. We are told in no uncertain terms that if Korans are burned there will be violence.
The answer in this situation should have been obvious--however angry the burning of a Koran may make you, you cannot make threats to silence people, that is completely unacceptable.
Somehow though, over the last few days, the left ,the conservative punditry and sadly even some here on the right, have, instead opted to confer exalted status on Islam. Giving Muslims the right not to be offended, and if offended, the right to threaten violence. This is a status no other religion in the world enjoys, NOR EVER SHOULD.
And that is why muhammed must be depicted, and that is why Korans need to be burned, to show muslims they cannot dictate to us what we can and can’t do with threats of violence.
That is what should have happened, instead sadly, the opposite, the ultimate appeasement occurred.
This was a pivotal moment in our history and we blew it big time.
All I can say is that if we continue down this road of surrendering constitutional rights so that muslims won’t be offended and won’t hurt us for it, then we may as well pack up our soldiers and bring them home, because we’ll have lost the war on terror, in our own backyard.
Sharia law from Islam is not a religion. It is a hideous, totalitarian ideology masquerading as religion that wants to control the world. Any Mosque or Inmama that preaches Sharia Law should lose any religious protection and be treated for the enemy they are.
Not nearly enough?
We are witnessing the beginnings of a religious war between
Radical Muslims and Christianity. Radical Muslims are also
religious fanatics and North America has no idea how to deal with them. Our answer is tolerance, which is fine if the rule of tolerance applies to both sides but sadly it does not. Think of all the controversy that has been stirred up by radical Islam. Religeous fanatisicm is a highly emotional state, fueled by emotion and kept alive by emotion. We have two choices, give in to it or fight it, at least on our shores. My observation suggests that we are slowly giving in to Radical muslimism. A voice in the wilderness? Perhaps, but 83 years has taught me much about
my fellow man, Religeon and emotion.
Good post!
Actually I think that the Koran Burn issue is the best thing that has happened to the US. It shows how leftists and Pat Buchanan want to appease.
It shows how uncivilized the Islamists are.
A nation of wimps is what got Obama elected.
Well said, I couldn’t agree with you more. We have gotten so soft in our appeasement of these bloody murderers!
I think everybody should burn a koran on 9/11.
I’ll light my Koran at 8:30 am est
What Good Can a Handgun Do Against An Army?

Not enough.
For every American that dies, EVERY SINGLE Mohammedan will be killed. One single American life is worth more than the sum total of all muzzies.
It's kill or be killed by these vile creatures practicing a Satanic "religion".
I believe the average voter sees through the fiasco created by Obama and his leftist minions. Even though the talking heads on TV have been too timid to talk about Islamofascism, the voters will make their positions known in November.
I’ve had it with those people.
There are ≈1.3 billion møøselimbs on the planet.
Our very survival requires that we kill n møøselimbs. Where n is a number between 0 and 1.3 billion. It is defined as the number necessary to kill for the remainder, 1,300,000,000-n to forswear violence as a means of religious debate.
WE don't set the value of n.
THEY set the value of n...
The new rage boys had a good day.
problem with running from bullies is that they come after you. showing fear to bullies adds gasoline to the flames... the only way to stop it is to fight back!!
as for me, “Give me liberty or give me death”!
your magnificent republicans are one with the dems on the koran burning thing. They’re both shit to me.
I’m jumping on this wagon.....
I completely disagree, We Freepers are not the ones who need to be exposed to the lunacy of Islam.
Sometimes it’s best to keep your mouth shut and let the left show their true rainbow colors.
They did.
Now, we found a perfect tactic to bring out the appeasers for what they are, without firing the proverbial shot. Use the enemies tactics against them.
The Threat. Those pussies won’t know what hit them.
