I have been trying to hold my breath. But I can't. When are you people going to understand that these people are not radical jihadist. They are good Muslims. A good Muslim is one who follows the teachings of the Koran. They are required by their God to be sure that all the world is Muslim. They think that we are infidels. They think that we should be converted or killed. I encourage you to read the Koran. It is very clear and they follow it literally. They are good Muslims. These are the people commanded by their God to spread sharia law throughout the world. That is their intent. Those are their actions. When are we going to learn? Are we idiots? I think not. But we do have to get our heads out of our butts and realize what we are dealing with.

We are told that if this man burns the Koran it will cause problems and upset Muslims throughout the world. I don't necessarily think that it is a wise thing for this person to burn the Koran. But if somebody draws a picture of Mohammed is going to upset Muslims throughout the world. Most recently we have been told that if Muslims are not allowed to build the Ground Zero mosque where they wish to build it, it will upset Muslims throughout the world.

Don't you know when you are being jerked around? Muslims are forcing their way into our society in ways that we do not want them to. We are being told that we must allow them to or we will upset them.

When we going to learn? When are You going to learn?

Just some thoughts.

Please read the story, watch the cnn tube video, and then explain to me how screwed up this country and this debate is over mosques, bibles, and Korans, has gotten.

The US Military burned unsolicited Bibles sent to Afghanistan: It is true per CNN.

I just don't get it. Victims of 911 cannot complain about a mosque near ground zero because that is offensive to Muslims.

Some minister can't burn Koran's because it may offend Muslims.

BUT the US military BURNS BIBLES because they might offend Muslims?

That is NUTS!

�.if this pastor had scheduled a burning of the Koran on Sept. 12, 2001 how many of us would object? I speculate not many at all and we would probably cheer him on. Has the past nine years softened our outlook?

Yes, there are good reasons why he shouldn�t go forward with the burning but fear of retribution, angering Muslims around the world or troop safety shouldn�t be among them. Unfortunately our troops are always in danger while at their Middle East duty stations and our citizens are aware that a homeland attack could occur at any time. A cowering attitude is not the way to go.

We as a nation pledged to �Never Forget�, but the relaxing of our attitudes seems to indicate otherwise.

muslims burn our flag all over the world, and nothing is said, thats ok
ever hear of a christian church in a muslim area, no, nadda, not allowed, they would burn it to the ground, so we are bound to keep k.i.t.a. and go with the flow, where does it ever stop

from distatesfull and demeaning bob, I am lower than low but politically incorrect!

According to a recent news release, the pastor will NOT be burning the Quran as planned.

But the pastor thinks the imam is abandoning plans for the mosque.

This is a mess.

I do not feel there is anything to gain from these ministers actions and personally feel it may even be counter-productive.....to burn or not to burn a Koran.....is not going to make one bit of difference in the Muslim world. The Muslim

continuing from previous post

I think there is way too much hullabaloo made over this issue. Does anyone think we Americans will score any "brownie points" with the Islamic terrorists if this minister (or any other) has a church bonfire?

For those who think burning a Koran is "scary," I would suggest you pull out footage of burning bodies leaping out of the Twin Towers to their deaths.

I lost a dear friend in DC that day and almost lost another in NYC.

And on the horrible day, one of my most vivid memories was seeing the thousands of Muslim men and young boys dancing for joy in the streets while burning our American flag.

Personally, I think the Koran burnings is a stupid idea because in the long run all it will accomplish is to garner more sympathy and support for the Ground Zero Mosque.

So, while I wouldn't light a match.....I wouldn't put out the fire either.

I saw an interview with Pastor Jones. He actually said that he thought the moderate Muslims should join him in the burning (this was before reports of it's cancellation) to protest the radicals.

So, Pastor Jones, if someone decides to burn Bibles to protest Catholic priests raping children, will you join and burn Bibles?

The local news mentioned that Pastor Jones when asked if he had even read the Koran, he said no.

"Christians in Gaza Fear for Their Lives as Muslims Burn Bibles and Destroy Crosses."

"A Catholic priest said that Hamas Muslim extremists burned bibles and destroyed crosses. There have been many attacks against Christians in Gaza over the last few months. Many Christians living in Gaza now fear for their lives and have expressed a desire to leave."

Where was the outrage?

Interesting article about what is a "moderate Muslim".

Of course there were the crusades.

If ya wanna really worry about stuff.

And I don't want to worryl

But I do.
