An example of religious tolerance among the Muslims. Islam needs to grow up.

I wonder if we could somehow drop the Japan Reactors on Mecca?

And keep our troops there at the same time to be put in harm’s way?

Ever clear your browser cache? Same thing. Hope you have many terabytes of storage to keep all that. Or are you just about symbolism?

I read and article today by an aid worker in Afghanistan, who said it’s time for them to leave. That person’s point was that this was a mob of regular unarmed villagers who attacked, not the Taliban or a warlord’s henchmen. The weapons that they got were taken from their first victims, the UN guards. He stated if we now have to open fire on unarmed protesters in order to adequately protect themselves, it’s time to go.

We should get these aid groups out of harm’s way and then change the rules of engagement. The mullahs have been allowed to have it easy. They whip up their people and send them out to kill others and/or die in suicide attacks. Meanwhile, the Mullah’s stay safely behind. The new ROE should simply be that every Mullah who incites violence is to be treated as a terrorist in that war zone and as such, killed within a very short period of time afterwards, either by a Spec Ops “A Team” sniper, Predator drone missile or a GPS bomb dropped from 20,000 feet, or some other munition suitable to the occasion. If they incite violence from the mosque, it’s to be no longer treated as a place of worship, but as a military or terrorist command structure and taken out. If these ROEs were put into place, I have a feeling that we’d quickly find the Mullahs to be far less talkative with a corresponding drop in violence. That said, we must never forget what this religion is all about and protect ourselves accordingly.

There are US troops in harm’s way over there. I wouldn’t back down, per se, but before you do something, think about the possible consequences to American servicemen and women. They’ve got a tough enough job as is.

This shows that it is not just a tiny “radical” faction of Muslims that is a problem. I am comfortable saying ALL of Islam is a problem.

Maybe we can desensitize them by burning Korans every Friday for say 30 years.

Yeah, but every time it happens (and it happens often) all moooooderate Muslims apologize for their fellow believers in a peaceful street protest.

When aren’t muslims in full rage mode? They rage over, music, movies, pork products, women in short skirts, booze... basically all he makings of a fun party.

Muslims will go out and kill infidels at the drop of a hat.

Burning Korans, Danish cartoons, Dutch filmmakers...oh, any old thing.

We are ready for them here.

Nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

I’d burn a koran if I wanted to waste the money buying it, or frequenting the type of place that would sell them.

I have an IDEA that will save us money, and help solve the problem.

Instead of dropping bombs, cruise missiles, or food, and sending them MONEY, why don't we just airdrop tons of KORANS (without parachutes) ????? Much cheaper than a missile, and how could they complain? Several tons of Korans on a pallet will smash a house pretty quickly.

A more fitting solution is to not GIVE THEM ANY FOOD, MONEY, or WEAPONS.

Seventh century people registering a seventh century complaint in a seventh century manner - that’s the totality of it. In this modern world, they are children; children throwing tantrums but children nonetheless.

Unless we are willing to fight in Afghanistan for as many years as we have peacefully been in Germany, or more, we need to leave now.

Bomb the Kabah and end the whole thing.

No. Unless you make a Bacon and Sausage bomb.

Better is : Send in the special forces. STEAL The meteor, and carve it in to women's toilets. Put them in use.
