DWOC's International Burn a Koran Day

It's a respect thing.

People don't burn Bibles anymore, they don't burn Torahs, so why burn the Koran? What's the point of it? I mean hell, if you're gonna start burning religious manuscripts, I think the Bible deserves it just as much as the Koran does.

Or hell, while we're burning Korans, why don't we just fly a plane into Mecca? That'd be the ultimate disrespect. That'll show em.

Well, I am not generally an advocate of such things but if we did, would muslims then conclude that it was just a small violent faction of Americans responsible and not the majority who are peace loving?

What's your point in posting this?

There's clearly been a backlash of violence surrounding the mosque controversy.

Of course not right off hand but I don't think anyone was extremely comfortable with Islam for a good time after 9/11 happened. But it helps that a lot of building bridges and investigation went on after that. I mean the whole, "you hurt me, so I'm gonna hurt you back" thing is so Neanderthal, especially after so much work has been done to get Americans and Muslims to come to terms and understand what happened in terms of 9/11.

How come the press and the left is all of a sudden so worried about pissing off Muslims but had no problem pissing them off any time they could make Bush look bad?

What the h-e-double hockey sticks?! Each post of yours in this thread is dumber than the last.

Would you conclude that Iran and its people? Talked to a friend of a friend several times who has been and lived in Iran and said a strong majority of Iranians are not only peace loving, but enjoy western culture. They understand its politics which divide the governments of the us and iran. He says its more obivious with the 30 and under crowd. This guy is not middle eastern or persian either, pale irish decent...its funny how media can twist sh*t

You know FD, each time I see you write posts like this I feel that this isn't how you truly feel, like you do this more because you have a reputation as a crazy right wing lover to live up to. You can't actually believe half the stuff you type do you?

So your saying that Bush did not ask the press to hold stories for safty reasons that they ran anyways?

This has nothing to do with Bush, Obama, Clinton, Reagan, McKinley, Hayes, Filmore or any other President

Got it.
I think you can probably look for more of it, and it's hard for me to believe that was not a consideration to those that contrived the notion to build it there. Kind of surprising.........
