GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The pastor who stoked violence in Afghanistan earlier this month by burning a Koran in March produced a recording on Saturday that he said proved he was deceived last September when he agreed to cancel plans to burn 200 copies of the Koran.

The pastor did not “stoke violence”.

Crazy ragheads did.

So, he burned a book that incites the murder of Jews and Christians.

As Joe Biden once said “BFD”.

This is just proof that Christians can control the actions of muslims to some extent. If we keep burning korans they will keep rioting.

Koranic body armor. We can kill them without them firing back.

Of course he was duped by a muslim. Apparently Jones doesn’t know it is okay for muslims to lie to infidels. Obviously Jones didn’t get the memo which covers the deceptions allowed by Allah when dealing with infidels.

Jones, you have a lot of catching up to do.

Everyone should cease exercising any and all Constitutional Rights in America because it might incite moslems by stoking violence in foreign countries.

We mustn't make them mad at us. OK ... everyone together now ... Kumbaya in the key of G.

You’ve seen this, right?

I’ve never met the pastor but I did meet some of that church. A busload of them drove from Florida to Columbus, OH to attend the Rally for Rifqa in November, 2009. Good people. On-fire street preachers.

An account of the event with many pictures was posted by a FReeper I met there. Search “rifqa”

He is partially responsible - just like if you go and kick a hornets nest and get stung - you are at least partially responsible.

His behavior served no purpose and innocent people and servicemen have been injured and killed as a result.

This is a great idea ! I seem to recall reading it before somewhere but let it pass. This idea can't be said often or loud enough, IMO. This idea needs to be published on as many different Blog and Websites as possible, and I intend to do so.

Many thanks for the reminder.

I was just reading the comments in that link you posted. Some pretty sick people there. The lib apologists are a true sight to behold. Little do they know that their deviant lifestyles will be the first culled from the herd and eliminated. I guess feeding at the public trough all your life hinders your outlook and limits your ability to think rationally.

We should have a national burn the Koran day or a Koran In Urine day. If a crucifix submerged in urine is art, then so is a Koran submerged in urine. The leftist swine are hypocrites about freedom of speech and equal rights. Islam promotes gender apartheid and discriminates against gays. On burn the Koran day we should also draw pictures of Mohammad. I suggest an image of Mohammad being mounted by a man while a woman laughs watching to point out the hypocrisy of the left. The demonstration should kick-off in San Antonino in front of the Alamo where we all remember the victims of Islamic expansionism. Where's a leader with the huevos to take this issue on? It's gotta be Trump or Palin, none of the others have any guts. As Pamela Geller would say, we need some Texas Tea at Ground Z.

Let’s see. We burn a Koran, they kill each other.

The logical conclusion would get me banned.

I disagree that his behavior served no purpose.

If nobody has the courage to burn a Koran, radical Muslims can be pretty sure that they have their prey intimidated. You appear to think this is acceptable. I'm not so certain it is.

Who burned the Koran causing OSB to blow up the U.S. embassies in Africa, the only crimes the FBI wants him for?

Perhaps you haven't thought this thru, completely?

http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/usama-bin-laden

Obama er pardon, Osama is wanted for the bombings in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Nairobi, Kenya. Yet, back in 1998, there is no record of Jones burning a Koran, causing Osama to commit these crimes.

For muslims, any excuse will suffice, so long as they get to kill infidels. They were planning, and plotting, to kill them anyway.

To suggest that Jones is the antagonist in this war, as if it were not for him, everything would be peaceful and hunky dory, is at the least naive, and at the worst, reeks of dubious motive.

Jones is not the problem. The problem is that some fools accept the lie that Islam is a religion of peace. How they can buy into this deception defies logic. Since Muslims are creating murder, mayhem, and chaos, on a global scale. They do so in the name of Allah. They will continue to do so in spite of Jones.

Of course they will murder Jones, when and if they can. He will surely be one of the first amongst us to go. Since he has been the first to lay his life on the line as a sacrificial lamb...saying, come get me you murdering bastards.

My prayer is that he kills multitudes of them, before they get him.

I also pray, by now, he has learned he cannot trust them.

Islam is a religion of peace in the way that kinetic military action has replaced war and tax increases are spending cuts. Moreover, anybody that calls out the hyprocrisy of the left is an ignorant racist and so we can’t even defend ourselves. Terry Jones is a hero and a patriot and we should be rallying around him.
