Will Koran Burning Be Banned In The United States?

Yet it’s ok to have a photo of Christ in a bottle of piss?

Time to place a koran in a bottle of piss next to it. Pig piss.

I loathe Gen. Betray us. Detest him. Besides his "concern for his troops" being more important than our basic Constitutional rights; besides his burning Bibles so as to appease muzzies; and besides his support of gays in the military, we now see how Obammie will reward him...

 

Report: Petraeus 'seriously considered' for CIA director

What Pastor Jones did by burning the Koran, made our troops less safe. That’s just a plain fact.

Being on the same planet with moslems makes everyone "less safe".

Those sand rats don't need an excuse to act like the savages they are, it comes naturally.

[SZonian]

And who gave him the “attention”? The media. What if I held a koran burning and nobody came? Would it be news? Would those savages even know what I was up to if the media just ignored my phone call announcing it?

Screw this, I’m sick and damned tired of compromising my rights as an American citizen because some in-bred savage half-way around the world is going to get his panties in a twist.

Take one to the range, and get everybody to empty a mag on it at once.

[Arrowhead1952]

A FReeper suggested finding a title page from an online Koran, printing it, taping it onto some paperback book, and then burning it.

That is what I did on Nov 11 the past two years. I think it will be a long running tradition for me. That cover also makes a very good rifle target, if you add a big

Incitement to illegal violence is not considered protected speech, nor should it be.

Cross-burning was classified, rightly or wrongly, by the Court as the equivalent of verbal or written incitement to kill people and as such not protected.

While I’m not sure I agree 100%, they have a good point.

****Where does one buy a koran and how much does one cost?****

Barnes and Nobel has them. Buy one if you wish. Then when you burn it, you will be burning your own PERSONAL PROPERTY. Who can fault you for burning trash?

Or you can do it a page at a time.

You can download a PDF of the Koran, but a word of caution, if you delete the file by placing it in the Recycle Bin, it automatically alerts people in Afghanistan that you deleted the file.

"Screw this, I’m sick and damned tired of compromising my rights as an American citizen because some in-bred savage half-way around the world is going to get his panties in a twist."

And you shouldn't have to compromise your rights as an American. What Senator Graham said is disturbing. As someone noted earlier in the thread quoting Voltaire. I may not agree with what you are doing, but I'll defend your right to do it. I think Pastor Jones is a jackass and I wish he wouldn't do these stupid shennanigans. However, I'll defend his right to do it. There's a difference.

[dfwgator]

If we had the proper ROE in Afghanistan, nobody would have even heard of Pastor Jones, even if he burned 10,000 Korans in the middle of Florida Field at halftime of a Gator Football Game.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

***I just googled the words “free Koran” and it looks like several links where they are giving them away.***

I believe the real koran to be burned has to be in arabic. English translations don’t count to the moslems.

[domeika]

I would think the military would want more korans burned to flush the crazies out. Makes for a target rich environment.

As far as citizens in the USA doing the burning.....let's make one point clear as crystal. Islam is NOT a religion, it is a cult. It was invented in 750 AD because too many arabs were flocking to Christianity and abandoning tribal law and custom. So, islam was invented and every person within their reach that didn't agree with it or didn't embrace it as a religion was put to death.
We should be treating mohamedism as the cult that it is, and not fit to be in the same tier with Christianity or Judaism.

For me, soaking their manifesto in bacon grease and torching it on the front lawn is no different than burning "moonie" cult pamphelets. And if they want to riot in the streets and murder each other over there because of it then I'll start buying korans by the case so they can keep up the tempo until there are none of them left.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

"If we had the proper ROE in Afghanistan"

Don't get me started on the ROE!! We had this issue starting with Beirut.

[SZonian]

That’s the slippery slope we’re on though. The instant that Americans start “compromising” on the 1st Amendment, we’re done.

It’s the 1st Amendment for a reason.

[Daffynition]

[dfwgator]

I’d rather focus on that, than some stupid pastor.

Consequences are one thing. Prohibition is something else.

“His website was shut down. The mortgage on his church’s property was called in and — what a coincidence — the church’s property insurance was cancelled. The city of Gainesville threatened to charge the church for protection.”

Well, yeah.
The website went from obscure to high traffic and undue problem for the ISP. Not what the hosting provider contracted for, ergo shutdown.
The church building is now at serious risk of arson. Pay up now, while there’s still something to pay for.
Likewise insurance: pastors are a low insurance risk, until one billions people want to kill him. Outside the contract, duly cancelled.
Extra police and fire and medical presence required now. Reasonable debate as to whether the local jurisdiction has to suck it up, or can charge him for undue needs.
That’s the consequences of such actions.

Outright ban, however, that hasn’t happened and is a very different issue if it does.

I’ve heard tell that September 11, 2011 is Worldwide Burn a Koran Day.
