Yes my readers..in case you haven't been paying attention to the news..there's a Pastor in Gainesville, Fla planning a Quran burning on Sept 11th.
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/09/08/national/main6846316.shtml
There is outrage and uproar over this...
http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2010/09/08/vatican-quran-burning-outrageous/
The Vatican:
Burning the Quran would an "outrageous and grave gesture," the Vatican said Wednesday, joining a chorus of voices pleading with a small Florida church not to burn Islam's holy book on the anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks
Secretary of State Clinton:
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said it would be a "disrespectful, disgraceful act." She was speaking Tuesday night at a State Department dinner in honor of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Now..even Petraeus has said the burning will put soldiers in Afghanistan in danger. Give our enemies more ammunition in their rhetoric and recruiting efforts; and may very well spark a new round of violence
Now honestly? I am torn on this. On the one hand..I feel for Patraeus' point of view. Because as I pointed out in someone elses back and forth about this elsewhere "it ain't the church members asses on the firing line that might die"
Now on the OTHER hand....What? You really believe that it matters, in the grand scheme of things as to the amount of violence? I don't . The only ammo that the Islamapricks need against us is the fact that We're a free people, aren't muslims, and aren't under sharia law where we can be destroyed and enslaved. What WE do does not make one wit of difference. Or hasn't anyone been paying attention the bombings in the news lately?

.... and that lads and lasses was just a few minutes work of cutting and pasting through the joys of the google search engine. Just bombings..I didn't google attacks with guns on crowds. So honestly..after reading those articles [and any other examples you might bring up through the use of googlefu] do you honestly believe that the Quran burning is going to give these Islamapricks Ammo? Or that they need "ammo"
If your answer is yes then I have some advice. Open your eyes, pull your head out of your ass and try living in the real world with the rest of us. If you do you might and I stress the word might survive what I believe is coming down the pike.
Lastly...I'm also of the mind of 'burn baby! burn!" fi you read my last post I shouldn't have to explain why. I don't know if I'll watch what I'm sure will be live coverage of the event. Since I intend to attend a burning and destruction of my own this weekend. Resident Evil: Afterlife. Also quite possibly Machete. I love the 1st amendment don't you?
I now return you to your regularly scheduled inanity and insanity
RASCIST! You fear the Nation of Islam for NO reason. Islam is a religion of peace. I call a fatwa upon you, vile lying despoiler of the truth. Off with your head! DIE, DIE, DIE!!!!!
