Pastor who burned Koran demands retribution

No. He did something that General Petraeus warned him might put American lives in danger. He chose to be irresponsible.

So we are supposed to be afraid of these barbarians? What are we supposed to do? They would probably kill you or me EITHER way because we arent muslims. I say the world needs to go to war against these sub-humans.

Severely disappointing view Noodle.

I feel sorry for your ignorance of the peoples of this planet.

I refuse to argue with someone who calls human beings sub-human. It's ludicrous.

It depends on who he means. Those who will kill people for being the wrong religion, I'd say go to war with them. If you can find them. By the way, I bet some of them are probably "Christians" living in America.

If he means all muslims, that's clearly wrong.

Either way, it's an unworkable foreign policy. We can't just bomb the living crap out of everywhere terrorists live, because that's just about everywhere.
 
Abortion isn't the topic and yes they did go to extremes. That has nothing to do with my post does it? I said that people are going to extremes to cover for Jones. That is true. Condemn what Jones did. Go ahead. And don't add a "But"

I've condemned him for being a hatefilled idiot. He's a disgrace to Christianity. You are trying to get people to place blame on him for the uncalled for, radical murderous actions of others.

Yes. they are just about everywhere.

You are correct. The others seem to not have their thinking caps on.

See above ;)
 
I never heard him refer to "murderers" or "extremists". Only Muslims.

Perhaps you have a link?

Dude. I'm not going to play your all Muslims are terrorists games.
 
They also led to civil rights. What is burning the Koran going to lead to?

For me it's led to the realization that our freedoms are in danger if we continue to try and appease terrorists.

This talking point is getting REALLY OLD!

Who's appeasing terrorists when you've spent 10 years and trillion of dollars "fighting terrorists".

Appeasing WHO!?!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

****ing hell.

While the actions of the Afghans are inexcusable, Jones was an a**hole and served as the catalyst for what occurred.
 
If you ban burning things, as a form of protest, the Liberals won't have anyway to express their outrage, at anything.

This is nothing but a stupid partisan hack comment.

There. I was outraged without burning anything. Proved you wrong. Again. As usual.
 
Dude. I'm not going to play your all Muslims are terrorists games.

But I've repeatedly said not all Muslims are terrorists.

But you seem to think some of them are.

Do you have a percentage in mind?
 
I'm finding it difficult to consider something a right if the fear of conequences are enough to stop anyone from exercising that right.
Do I have the right to publish political incorrect cartoons? Not really in my opinion. Not when threats prohibit me from exercising that right.
What if animal-rights activists started killing 12 people everytime a hunter shot a deer. Do you think hunters would still feel they had a right to hunt?
Face it.These are example of rights being eroded away by blackmail.

You always have the right, Barb. Whether you exercise that right based on the consequences that would then occur is your choice. If I tell you that I will kill your family if you burn the bible, you still have the right to burn the bible. The choice becomes whether you exercise that right... whether you are accepting of the consequences of your right. Consider this. How important are the rights that we have in the US? Many have died protecting them. That's the point. They exist. You choose whether you do them or not.

What is your end game? We all know the answers to these questions.

So their actions are inexcusable, but not quite.

Do you think there have been terrorist acts in the past, committed by Muslims, which had nothing to do with that Florida preacher?

What was the excuse for terrorism then, and who was to blame? Who was the 'catalyst' those times?
 
True. However if everytime someone burned an American flag, 12 people would be killed in a horrific manner, wouldn't you say your right to burn the flag was at least seriously compromised? In my opinion, the right to burn the flag in the future isn't much of a right at all because it's doubtful anyone would exercise it.

No, I would not. I would say that I would have to make some choices about exercising my right... just like we all do everytime we do anything. You are posting on a message board... exercising your right to free speech. There are consequences for the things you say. You might get infracted. Someone might get mad at you and personally attack you. That does not change whether you have the right. It may change whether you choose to ACT on that right. The legality of the right has not changed, however.
 
Do you? Then what is the percentage of Muslims who are terrorists or sympathize with terrorism, because I certainly don't know.

We need a sneakily worded poll to lead us to some 'explosive' conclusions. Did you know that 20% of Americans in WWII were for the elimination of the Japanese race in it's entirety.

No I don't know the percentage - I know that some Muslims are terrorists. What's your point?
