grimmie 186 #1 September 7, 2010 http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39032043/ns/world_news-south_and_central_asia Pastor Jones is an idiot. If he wants to "Stand up to them"...get him and his followers enlisted and ship them to Kabul. I'm all for freedom of speech, but this is yelling "FIRE" in a theater.

Maybe we should get a fund going to send some of our Conservetard posters here in SC to the burning... seems they would fit right in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 3,058 #5 September 7, 2010 Let him burn it if the asshole wants to; his right to do that is protected. Of course, if he does, he has to acknowledge that others have the right to do things he finds odious as well - even if they're Muslim. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

normiss 843 #11 September 7, 2010 I was disappointed that less than 30 people could be a lead story. A plywood sign with crooked lettering. A church with a bank mortgage note in demand for payment NOW. Selling used furniture to make ends meet. Insurance canceled. What an embarrassing joke. We better stop building churches NOW!!!

Casurf1978 0 #15 September 8, 2010 I wonder sometimes if he is doing this because he feels he is sending a message or is it just a publicity stunt. Look at this forum, if it wasn't for his actions we wouldn't be talking about him, and look at all the online publicity he is getting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jgoose71 0 #18 September 8, 2010 Well, the Quran hasn't even been burnt yet and this is how they are already reacting in kabul: http://abcnews.go.com/WN/Afghanistan/burn-quran-day-sparks-protests-afghanistan-petraeus-endanger/story?id=11569820 So if they can burn the American flag in the Streets of Kabul, and a Quran hasn't been burnt yet, why can't we burn the Quran?

wmw999 2,515 #21 September 8, 2010 If I lived in the area I'd probably try to get as many people as possible to join me in sitting on their lawn. Yeah, we might get arrested for trespassing, but it might make it clear that there are a decent number of people willing to stand up for tolerance. And the average Muslim (at least among the ones I know) IS moderate. You don't read about them in the news, so I guess some folks don't figure they exist.Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

loumeinhart 0 #24 September 8, 2010 QuoteUnfortunately, no matter what happens the jackass is going to feel vindicated. Agreed. I was thinking to myself about the media's role in this. The fiscally conservative side of me realizes that the 'media' is a business and "if it bleeds..it leads." The other side of me would realize that media would have maybe a responsibility to the public and choose not to air something so inflammatory. The later is pretty bogus though.. thoughts?
