Do any of you people on this thread understand that actions have consequences? And those consequences directly affect the warriors in Afghanistan who are putting their asses on the line for you? This jackass preacher has every right to burn the Koran, but his actions pose a grave danger to our troops.No Jackass!
The terrorist muslims pose the grave danger to our troops, and to their own people!
Do you suppose that if our brave soldiers taped Qurans to their body armor it would make much difference?

I don’t trust him, something is fishy, I think he went native, bet he studies the Koran.

They told me that if I voted for McCain, the White House would order Army generals to condemn blasphemy and try to suppress the 1st Amendment rights of fringe religious groups in the United States... and they were right!

Excellent point. It seems some in here are not using their brainUsing your brain, such as it is, answer one question : Has a captured American soldier in Afghanistan ever been treated for wounds and returned? Pre or post burning-comic-book?

Next up: Petraeus condemns scantily-clothed women for being raped.
To: tobyhill
Petraeus is lily-livered. Don’t burn a Koran but its ok to kill Christians.
Yeah, don’t do anything to upset the Muzzies,treat them with them kid gloves.
what a dope he is.

Seriously, the United States military has likely burned tens of thousands of Korans in military attacks. The fires from those attacks has, over time, destroyed entire neighborhoods around the world, and likely somewhere in that rubble was a Koran.
Yet everyone seems to be getting their panties in a bundle because some preacher does it?
Seems like the solution's pretty obvious here. Each of us should go out, pick up a Koran for a quarter at the local thrift store, go take our cell phone cameras and film it being burned. Why should there be a lone wolf here? There should be thousands of these films out there, on Facebook, on Twitter, on You Tube and Google Videos. You should type ‘burning Koran’ and get millions of hits on any video site. Drown them in outrage.

Can’t we all just get along?
To: paulycy
We are rewarding terror instead of blasting the village where the koran killings took place back to the stone age if it isn't there already.Sorry, but that is not the way to win this war. The Nazis tried that tactic and it backfired.
Remember what happened at Lidice?

You misunderstand. We must maintain the spice flow. At any cost. That is why we are there.Been saying it for years. Heroin and opium is better than gold.

What the General was speaking about wasnt rights. He never said the guy should not be able to do it.
Its about strategy. This move hurts diplomatic efforts within the war, and hampers any pysch warfare we have. Aside from being famous, what is the point of a religious leader burning another religion’s books?

jones is a “religious leader” like the moon is made of green cheese. This is ridiculous. Petraeus should have issued a flat warning when the natives began massing. WE will shoot to kill if you dare attack innocent people. And then DO IT!

I think he went native, bet he studies the Koran.One can't study the Koran.
I read it three times, just to make sure I wasn't imagining its contents.
It is an adult comic book, dictated by an illeterate, and aimed at eight-year-old mentalities.

Enough with the apologies. All I want to hear out of any Afghan is “Thank You” or they can shut it!

I think its because some people have to be “conservative” no matter what the facts or reality are.

How long will it be before Janet Napalitano declares Quran-burning a terrorist act?

I'll aim for the best award-winning cinematography...
