The "burn Koran/Quran/[insert different way to spell it] day" thing continues..
-
Agreed, burning it is likely to inflame the situation (sorry about the pun), the best thing you can do is point at it and laugh. And at the Bible, the Torah, the Gurū Granth Sāhib, the Rig Veda and any other religious texts. Open them up at random and point at the ignorance and stupidity, at the bad understanding of the universe and at the lack of any evidence. Then, laugh at the people who would kill you in it's name.

"Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man auch am Ende Menschen." (Where they burn books, so too will they eventually burn people.) Heinrich Heine - Almansor Interestingly, in the play he was referring to the burning of the koran during the inquisition. However, I do wonder at which point a tree with some ink becomes something one cannot burn.

It's a pretty stupid thing to do, but it's completely legal. It's a great way for them to say "Hey everyone, we're a bunch of bigoted #(%*&@#s!" Now, I want to see an event where they take the "holy" texts of every religion they can find (Don't want to leave anyone out!) and burn them all in the same bonfire. The message would be "Look, they're all just books." Actually, that would probably be misinterpreted as militant atheism... Hmm... Ok, let's see... Ok, new idea. Take all of those "holy" texts... Print a new book that interleaves the pages... One page of the bible, one page of the koran, one page of whatever else, and so on... Sort them randomly (But no repeats!) just to make sure it's fair. We'll call it... uh... Alright, that was the end of the idea, so someone else has to think of a funny name for it.

I'm all for it, burn the filthy books, draw the pedophile Mohammad, and burn the drawings. If we keep bowing down to them, soon our women will be wearing headscarfs and people will receive lashes and stonings for petty crimes.

Well, at least you don't claim to support the troops while doing it. Now if only you could grasp your right to do it is the same right they have to build a Mosque you'd be able to hold yourself up high, and be able to compare yourself to pond scum without insulting it.
-
It's stupid, but it's their right. Which separates it from the whole Mosque scenario fairly easily, in that case the people against it are being stupid, and it's still their right(They being the Muslims here). From what I remember it wasn't NYC residents of over 20 years who were behind the towers destruction, in fact they probably lost friends in it unlike most of the idiots protesting it.

Funniest part of that... It's not even a mosque... It's going to have a "prayer space" for muslims, sure... It's also going to have prayer spaces for christians and jews... And a swimming pool... Can't have a swimming pool near the WTC site, can we? No, that would insult the memories of the people who died in fires, right? All of that water... http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/08/opinion/08mosque.html[^] Idiots can be funny, but too much idiocy does get dull.

Nonsense, you don't support the troops by submitting to violent extremists at home. It hurts the troop's moral and strengthens the violent extremist's moral.

I support their legal right to build the mosque, I never said otherwise, however that doesn't mean I don't have a strong opinion about it. You see, the first amendment is not some thing that forbids people from speaking out against other people's speech or what have you. It just prevents the government from coming down and saying "You can't say this", or "You are not allowed to worship that".

I decided to visit the idiot's website. http://www.doveworld.org/[^] He's about as Christian as a piece of toast. Nothing like one extremist inciting another group of them. I just wish these idiots would be locked in the same room and never let out. The one thing I'll these extremists is their conviction runs high. How many people would kill themselves over an ideal? Not many. Most people are passionate money and not much else. I've noticed how that is always the number one concern over the years. How can I make more money? How can I get more stuff? What happened to having dreams?
