I hope that jackass is proud. I'm watching the news right now and basically just his idiot idea, even though it's been called off, has sparked anti-American hatred everywhere (even more than before). Nice job asshole.

If in fact it has been called off I think that in many ways this is a great statement to the rest of the world.

One of those teachable moments perhaps?

Anyways that was going to be a fiasco so hopefully this mess has been averted.

When the FBI tells you you're walking dead people it's time to pack-up shop and retire.

He's claiming the Imma has decided to move the "not exactly ground zero" Muslim Community Center in exchange for not burning the Qur'an. I hope this isn't true.

In times of danger don't freeze, time to be a G!

I wonder what they will do with all of the Qur'ans that they had ready to burn. You can't just throw them away, that would be sacrilege.

I would return them for a refund though I would suspect all sales of the Qur'an are final.

Didn't they kick him out of another church for stealing money from them? LOL, don't know how people follow morons like this, but whatever.

You really think he sparked all the anti-American hate? I think that was started way before 9/11 and its just another reason for them to act out. Remember when that guy did a cartoon in the paper and they flipped out then? Fu** them.

FD, this is about building bridges not burning them. Yes there are Muslims who hate us, and there are Muslims who believe that all non-believers should be killed. Nothing we do or don't do is going to change that segment's beliefs en masse. HOWEVER, by not doing idiotic things, and showing the same type of compassion that the good samaritan (in Jesus' parable) showed, or that Martin Luther King Jr discussed in his I have a dream speech, or that the founders wrote in the pre-amble to our constitution, (the list goes on) we can live up to our own ideals. If we live up to our own ideals maybe we will give those who could be swayed either way - to radicalism or a non-radical life view- a stronger footing in peaceful divergence of religion.

Saying they started it at this point is a relatively shallow and immature way of dealing with complex, intense, religious devotions on either side of this problem.
