I think things like this is just going too far. It causes more hatred than anything else. And for a so called Christian group to be doing it makes it totally wrong!

Oh my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We agree!

Ahhhhh, feel the love

I always liked this song about the born again so called Christian types. Esp. the TV evangelists

I used to see you on every TV Your smiling face
looked back at me. I used to see you on every TV
Your smiling face looked back at me.

Then they caught you with the girl next door,
People's money piled on the floor, Accusations
that you try to deny, Revelations and rumours
begin to fly.

Now you think about reaching out Try to get some
help from above. Now you think about reaching out
Try to get some help from above.

Reporters crowd around your house. Going through
your garbage like a pack of hounds, Speculating
what they may find out, It don't matter now,
you're all washed up.
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/cZI ]

You wake up in the middle of the night. Your
sheets are wet and your face is white, You tried
to make a good thing last, How could something so
good, go bad, so fast?

American dream, American dream, American dream,
American dream.

Don't know when things went wrong, Might have
been when you were young and strong.
Reporters crowd around your house. Going through
your garbage like a pack of hounds, Speculating
what they may find out, It don't matter now,
you're all washed up.

Don't know when things went wrong, Might have
been when you were young and strong. American
dream, American dream. Don't know when things went
wrong, Might have been when you were young and
strong. American dream, American dream.
Lyrics: American Dreams, Bon Jovi [end]

God Damn I would have + ed you if I didn't need to spread the love around.

This act is just infintile, schoolyard, bullshit. It's the "my dad can beat up your dad" crowd as adults.

If these people want to make a statement I'm sure that there are a million more positive and mature ways of doing it other than burning a book and lowering yourself to the level of those you profess to hate.

And for the record, organizations, groups or individuals that burn flags, desecreate what others consider patriotic or holy, mock governments and religions are no better than fucking pond scum, who hide behind the freedom of speech laws to try and inflict pain and hurt on others because they lack the moral and ethical fibre to deal with what they percieve as problems in a positive and mature manner.

Now let's all go out and burn a hypocrite.

Don't like what is written....don't read it. Don't like what you see or hear on the TV or radio, turn them off. This act of intolerance will only inflame the other's intolerance. That usually results in them killing more innocent people.

I have no problem with this. Given that in the USA it is a protected right of free speech to burn the US flag, immerse a cross in urine, cover a Christian religious icon in human excrement at taxpayer expense, and to mistreat the Bible any bloody way you please then it should also be a protected right of free speech to do likewise to any other kind of religious icon, such as a Koran. Otherwise we're saying that islam gets special treatment above all other religions in the USA and that is a far greater and far more dangerous wrong than the mere burning of some books.

Actually I object to all the above. Especially the burning of the American flag as "symbolic freedom of speech". I know a number of Vets who would do a bit more than "take issue" with somebody doing that. What is he proving? Terrorism sucks? Islam sucks? The Koran sucks? I agree with freedom of speech, but book burning reminds of Nazi Germany, or Iran, I just don't see this accomplishing much, burning Osama Bin Laden at the stake however....

[rickc]

As a libertarian I can't believe that I am saying this......but sometimes we take free speech to far in the States. I agree that this nutjob has the right to burn all the books he wants to. It IS good to let the bigots and nutjubs publicly expose themselves, give them enough rope to hang themselves. The problem with this bigot and his followers exposing themselves, is where this is whole situation is going to lead.

The same day this clown throws his little party, a fatwa will be issued on his head. Remember Salman Rushdie? He wrote a fictional book. The fatwa issued for him and his publishers have resulted in the deaths of 38 people. I would dare say that this book burning is much more serious than a fictional book or cartoon. This Reverend had better be ready to go down with the ship, because he is already walking around dead.

If a Muslim kills this clown, the game is on! All bets are off. This Reverend may as will be Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The backlash will be severe. One big circle jerk of hate, with no end in sight. A lot of this could be prevented. If you drop a lit cigarette in the forest in July, you need to extinguish it instantly. Don’t wait for the whole forest to go up in flames to do something about it. To bad this clown couldn't slip in his tub and break his neck in the next few days. A lot of people could suffer because of this clown and his 15 minutes of fame.

Kenmore, don't think we have to worry about the Radical Muslims hating us MORE. Pretty hard to top this.

So you have freedom of speech. Doesn't come with a guarantee against a rotten tomato in the face.
Or in this case, taunting those who prefer loaded 747s to rotten tomatoes.

...or threats from Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast, that it could lead to uncontrollable emotions.

Yeah, they are going to run out into the streets and stone more helpless women. I have never scene a more emasculate culture that they have to demean and degrade women because they are afraid to compete on an equal footing.

Muslim groups want this Koran Burning considered a hate crime and charges laid if they go ahead with the Koran burning.
