Pastor Jones is an idiot. If he wants to "Stand up to them"...get him and his followers enlisted and ship them to Kabul.

I'm all for freedom of speech, but this is yelling "FIRE" in a theater.

Maybe we should get a fund going to send some of our Conservetard posters here in SC to the burning... seems they would fit right in.

No, it's freedom of speech. But he is a vile fuckwad.

absolutely disagree , it's alot more like yelling theatre in a crowded fire station !

Let him burn it if the asshole wants to; his right to do that is protected. Of course, if he does, he has to acknowledge that others have the right to do things he finds odious as well - even if they're Muslim.

Now we know how your average Muslim feels when one of their extremists does something stupid.

The stupidest thing he can do is burn a religious text.

The smartest thing the Muslim community could do is ignore it.

Unfortunately, no matter what happens the jackass is going to feel vindicated.

I was disappointed that less than 30 people could be a lead story.
A plywood sign with crooked lettering.
A church with a bank mortgage note in demand for payment NOW.
Selling used furniture to make ends meet.
Insurance canceled.

What an embarrassing joke.


We better stop building churches NOW!!!

If he does this it will lead to an increase in US deaths in Afghanistan without a doubt. I wonder if this idiot gives a shit about that?

You really can't fix stupid, can ya?

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

[normiss 620]

Wait.
I thought god was killing them on purpose anyway.

Man I can't keep all this hatred, misogyny, racial hatred, fear mongering, mistrust, polling, voting stuff straight.

Who am I supposed to hate???

I wonder sometimes if he is doing this because he feels he is sending a message or is it just a publicity stunt. Look at this forum, if it wasn't for his actions we wouldn't be talking about him, and look at all the online publicity he is getting.

Apparently he'snothing but a scam artist who sells furniture online and has set up a cult 'church' to make a buck or two.

Well, the Quran hasn't even been burnt yet and this is how they are already reacting in kabul:
http://abcnews.go.com/WN/Afghanistan/burn-quran-day-sparks-protests-afghanistan-petraeus-endanger/story?id=11569820

So if they can burn the American flag in the Streets of Kabul, and a Quran hasn't been burnt yet, why can't we burn the Quran? Is only America allowed to be disrespected and protested?

Wow. Nothing like free publicity. I bet most of the major networks will run a snippet about him when he burns the books.

[normiss 620]

Sadly, it was the lead story on ABC national news tonight.
I can only hope that was his only 5 minutes, but I doubt it.

If I lived in the area I'd probably try to get as many people as possible to join me in sitting on their lawn. Yeah, we might get arrested for trespassing, but it might make it clear that there are a decent number of people willing to stand up for tolerance.

And the average Muslim (at least among the ones I know) IS moderate. You don't read about them in the news, so I guess some folks don't figure they exist.

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

You aren't supposed to hate anyone . . . just protect what is yours from people like the ones in power now.

Agreed. I was thinking to myself about the media's role in this. The fiscally conservative side of me realizes that the 'media' is a business and "if it bleeds..it leads." The other side of me would realize that media would have maybe a responsibility to the public and choose not to air something so inflammatory. The later is pretty bogus though.. thoughts?
