Shouldn't this guy go to jail for further risking the lives of your troops?

These assholes really piss me off. Fuck Terry Jones and those like-minded bigots. They of course have every right to do what they will, but I hope that a brigade with firehoses and extinguishers shows up to douse the bonfire and those fuckwads who would participate in this shit.

From the website of the church:

Reasons to Burn a Koran: http://www.doveworld.org/blog/ten-reaso ... rn-a-koran

Reasons include such xenophobic and bigoted rationale such as:

-Islam is not compatible with Western Civilization.
-Deep in the Islamic teaching and culture is the irrational fear and loathing of the West.
-Maybe Mohammad never existed. We have no conclusive account about what he said or did.
-The Koran does not have an eternal origin. It is not recorded in heaven.
-The Koran's teaching includes Arabian idolatry, paganism, rites and rituals.

This guy should look at the Bullshit that can be found in his own religion. It would give the worst parts of Islam a good run for the money.

The guy is an idiot.

But.

If he gives in and doesn't do it, isn't that similar to everything else going on right now? Giving in to threats and danger so as not to offend a group of people? Like giving in and not building the mosque because some christians are against it? Or not allowing a tv show to show an animated muhammad?

And the "death to america" quote really shows that these people can be just as stereotypical and bigoted as us. Our own president has said that muslims have a right to their mosque in new york, but instead these people run with the "guy who burns korans" as their preferred depiction of america.

-Maybe Mohammad never existed. We have no conclusive account about what he said or did.

I find this one funny in particular. There is historical evidence to the contrary where as there is absolutely no evidence for the existence of Jesus.

-The Koran does not have an eternal origin. It is not recorded in heaven.

Pot, meet kettle.

-The Koran's teaching includes Arabian idolatry, paganism, rites and rituals.

Replace Arabian with Middle Eastern and once again, Pot, meet Kettle.

They should. I don't see the point he's trying to make.

Yeah, what that guy said was pretty stupid. What you just wrote here was pretty much the same, though. You might as well be claiming that Jesus is Horus.

What he said was false, what I said is true. I didn't say there was no Jesus, I said there is no historical evidence of his existence.


Are you claiming Horus does not exist?

[Limewater]

What he said was false, what I said is true. I didn't say there was no Jesus, I said there is no historical evidence of his existence.

Yes, I am aware that is what you claimed. That's pretty much the same thing he (at least paraphrased on this board) said about Mohammed. I stand by my previous statement.

[Limewater]

I would like to apologize for referring to Octopod's earlier comment as "stupid." That was inappropriate and disrespectful.

I will say that to claim that there is no evidence for the existence of Jesus is kind of ridiculous. I will be happy to discuss this point further if anyone cares.

But my previous couple of comments were not appropriate for respectful discourse, and for that I am sorry.

Fuck Terry Jones and those like-minded bigots.

I heard about this on NPR but didn't catch the name of the slap nut whack job.

When I first saw your post I thought it read "Fuck Tom Jones...". For second I thought our e-friendship would be over forever.
