DWOC's International Burn a Koran Day

what is the question?

"it was just a small violent faction of Americans responsible and not the majority who are peace loving?"

you previous statement about shouldnt muslim understand its not a true representation of our country. Im saying their is misrepresentation here at home as well of muslims abroad.

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

Actually no, what I am saying is that I believe that you actually don't believe the crazy shit that you post on the boards. That you have a reputation as a crazy right winger to live up to and that's why you write what you write.

There's no way in hell you can read what I just wrote and infer that I must be some kind of Bush/Obama/anybody else in politics lover. I don't even mention them. They have nothing to do with this post, or this thread, for that matter.

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.........

Comes with the territory I guess. Would it really matter where they built it though? It's not like anti-Muslim sentiment is something new in this country post 9/11.

I don't think it would be as popularized in........Rancho Cucamonga, rather than 9/11ville

I can't wait till people start burning the Bible again.[/quote

Didn't know they stopped.

No doubt.

I sure did believe that post. For the recored I'm pretty liberal about some things, conservative when it comes to raising children (well my children) and conservative with most social issues. Even though I'm conservative I'm not a bible thumper and also have a problem with allot of them. I actually do think this guy is crazy but I find the reaction to him some what amusing.

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?


Are we talking rouge American terrorist militiamen attacking Mecca? They shouldn't get mad at all Americans but at the very least they should be able to invade the states where these men came from.

dont american citizens who view the koran as vile and hate filled have a right to express their feelings? in america?

while their feelings might be misguided to seemingly most of us here (their disdain towards minority extreme militants colors thier overly broad disdain for all islams) dont they have a right to express their feelings in a civil and organized manner?

the 1st amendment, freedom of speech and expression in this country wasnt put in place to protect the right of americans to say "yahoo for the US!" but to protect the rights and viewpoints of the fringe minority groups to organize and express themselves in a civil manner.

i think when the SC looks at what is protected speech vs hate speech they look towards, in part, the intent of the speaker. thats to say, the court wont block someone from saying something only based upon another persons unreasonable reaction.

if i burn the koran for the purpose of symbolizing my dislike for its teachings and not to incite a riot or jihad, i feel like i have that right in america. the fact that a group of people might be hyper-sensitive to my act shouldnt allow the courts or gov't to preclude me from doing so.

to decide what is and what isnt protected speech based upon others hyper-sensitive reactions would leave a mute world.

idk thoo i spent most of my time smoking tie stick and bowling at the ROTC. i dont really remember much.

Oh oh, here's what I meant; I can't wait till people start publicly gathering people together to burn the Bible again in the name of Christianity being a bunch of horse poo because Christianity is a dangerous religion with dangerous people. There we go. :)
