I think its stupid on multiple levels. It really does nothing to stop radical Muslems in fact its just adding fuel to the fire as well as isolating moderate everyday muslems. It also just goes to show the idiocy of this asshole and his followers. I would much rather hold a burn a bible day personally. No Muslem has told me convert or die or that I am hellbound for my beliefs yet countless "Christians" have done so to me.
So, you're not any brighter than Killy?
i'm against burning books, full stop.
as for religious 'holy books', to burn them is to deliberately provoke feelings of anger and resentment, whatever denomination or creed - feelings that may well be capitalised upon by the propaganda machines in this instance. how well would it go down if an imam burned a stack of bibles in a grand public gesture? even the everyday, non-political, peace-loving christian would feel aggrieved.
the man's a moron and will be used as a pawn by the media and the hate-mongers out there.
It's all about the news media.
I think instead of burning them, he should shred them and put them in the recycle bin. It's the Green thing to do to waste paper.
This koran burning is like the Y2K bug. Nothing's going to happen. No Muslim is going to harm anybody. They are too peace-loving and too mature for that.
Right?
Andrew McCarthyIt’s a shame that we need to waste time condemning minister Terry Jones. He’s obviously a nincompoop. But I suppose the fact that he’s being universally condemned for this useless provocation is an improvement. Remember the classified prisoner-abuse photos that the Obama administration was hot to disclose last year, until a groundswell of protest from the military and the public finally impelled Congress to act responsibly when the president wouldn’t? That, too, was a gratuitous provocation that would have served no purpose other than to pull the hair-trigger of Muslim rage. Yet the Left — including the Justice Department — was indifferent to the threat posed to our troops by that action. The pictures simply had to be disclosed because they may have made the United States and the Bush administration look bad, and anything that can make the United States and the Bush administration look bad is worth doing, no matter the cost.
...
And what of Imam Rauf? Strangely, he has not yet explained that “in the most direct sense, the Rev. Jones was made in the K.S.A. — the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.” Given its Wahhabist breeding and its financial backing of jihadists, coupled with sharia measures that (along with subjugating women and executing apostates) mandate the burning of Bibles, crucifixes, and Stars of David, you could easily see why the Rev. Jones feels he’s been “humiliated” and had his passionate feelings “ignored” by Saudi Arabia and other purveyors of Islamist ideology. Maybe he just “feels the need to conflagrate.”
Here’s an interesting thing about the man behind the mosque. A few months back, a controversial court ruling in Malaysia held that “Allah,” the Arabic word for God, was not the exclusive property of Muslims. A Christian monthly, the Herald, had decided it would use “Allah” to refer to God — as Imam Rauf is fond of saying, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all Abrahamic faiths whose adherents worship the same deity, right? So why not use the same name?
It turns out that tolerant, moderate Malaysian Muslims didn’t see things quite that way. They took the Christians’ ecumenical gesture as an affront — an effort to proselytize for Christianity or, as Imam Rauf himself put it, “to manipulate the word [“Allah”] to win converts.” So the tolerant, moderate Muslims did their usual Terry-Jackass-Jones-on-steroids routine: They didn’t just burn Bibles, they fire-bombed churches. Non-Islamic proselytism is prohibited by sharia, as Imam Rauf, who wants the United States to be more sharia-compliant, could tell you.
And what did Rauf do? Did he condemn this blatant Christianophobia? Did he lecture Malaysians that the Herald was perfectly within its legal rights to invoke “Allah” in the service of Christianity, and that living in a tolerant, pluralistic society that ensures free expression means accepting the Herald’s actions even if they make Muslims uncomfortable?
Are you kidding?
Instead, Imam Rauf took to the newspapers to admonish Christians on the need to show more sensitivity to Muslims’ feelings. “My message to the Christian community in Malaysia,” he proclaimed, “is that using the word Allah to mean the Christian God may be theologically and legally correct, but in the context of Malaysia, it is socially provocative. If you want to have influence with people in Malaysia, you must find a way to convey your message without provoking this kind of response.”
You know what else might be “socially provocative”? A giant mosque at Ground Zero.
Imagine if, in WWII, Eisenhower said we shouldn't sing anti-Nazi songs and make anti-Nazi movies and cartoons (there were a bunch of them) because it would make them attack us.Hey these are green too, let's give them their share:

At the same time.I still want to fuck dolf and Karen slap-silly...
At the same time.
And why hasn't the GOP spoken out against radical Christian Cleric (and civil war mustache collector) Terry Jones?
Do they support the burning of the Islamic Holy book?
If you don't vote we'll just assume you are in support of the book burning.
I knew it, lusting in your heart again. Better watch out for Karen, she'll probably truss you up like a Christmas turkey and test the resiliency of your ball sack with a cat 'o' nine.![]()
When 4th-century Christians decided to merge the church with the state, they were going against the Bible and every true tenet of orthodox Christianity. Nowhere in Jesus' life or teachings was there to be found any injunction to merge worldly power with true faith in God. Nowhere. Nada. Zilch. Jesus, we know, made a very big deal out of giving worldly power (Caesar) its own domain while reserving one's soul for God alone. Jesus was so bent on peace that even when he was being arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane, he told his disciples to put away their swords. Jesus did not, during his own scourging, command his followers to mount an armed rebellion to try to free him. Instead, he went peacefully to the Cross of salvation.
So when Christians mounted opposition to the joining of church with tyrannical state power, they were standing upon firm religious footing. The Protestant reformers didn't need to kill off Jesus to support their desire for keeping matters of the soul separate from matters of political power. Instead, Christians needed only remind -- yes, quite forcefully remind -- their befouled church and state institutions that they were going against Jesus in their greedy pursuit of worldly goods and power. Standing upon the authority of the Bible itself and Jesus' own example gave Christian reformers what they needed.
Not so with Islamists. In order to reform a religion which is purely hell-bent on violence to obtain submission, the Islamists must figure out a way to explain that perhaps their prophet was either a bit off in the head or that his words and actions were intended for only a more brutal era. But this itself proves nearly impossible, too.
For in Islam, the Koran is presumed to be an actual dictation -- word-for-word -- of conversations between Mohammed and Allah, using the intermediary, "Gabriel," the angel of wide Judeo-Christian prominence. Whereas both Jews and Christians believe that the Bible, both old and new testaments, were inspired by God, they do not believe that the Bible is anything nearly approximating a direct dictation from the mouth of God.
So Muslims who truly do want to come into the 21st century, remake their religion into one of peaceful cohabitation with earth's non-Muslim peoples, and practice a smidgen of the tolerance they have so violently demanded from others, find it an overwhelming task. It's hard to argue against terror when terror was your prophet's own M.O.
