What A Whack Job! (Quran Burner)

[julius]

Sounds like he's just building a reason why he went on with the burning. Afterall, the Imam went back on his word.

So I guess their radicals, beat our radicals.

Think about it...

President Obama starts pleading with that nutty Florida minister to knock off his idiotic plan to burn Qurans.

Obama said the act would incite terrorists "to blow themselves up."

Maybe.

but... nobody burned Korans before 9/11, or the first World Trade Center attack in 93.

To me, the definition of radical extremism, is that its viciousness exists independent of anything you or I do.

Radicals blow up nice people and jerks - and that includes innocent Muslims who coveted their Korans.

There was no Koran barbecue prior to terror attacks in Argentina, Kenya, Greece, Saudi Arabia, Spain, Turkey, London, Lebanon, Italy or Germany.

The victims there didn't ask for it. And that defines an extremist.

Yet, I've grown up with images of burned American flags, dead American hostages, our troops dragged through streets, and psychotic masses of angry chanters preaching our death.

And I haven't killed anyone.

Aside from that guy in 84.

Anyway, I'd go on about this double standard - in which our mass media finds it easy to crap on idiot Christians, but can't even call the Fort Hood shooter a Muslim extremist.

But who cares: the Rev Jones has canceled the thing.
Apparently US Defense Secretary Gates called and urged him to stop.

See, Jones just wanted attention. He doesn't want to die. He still wants to get his breakfast at Denny's, and then enjoy a good poop.

Which goes back to my original point. You can actually deal with our nuts. But you can't deal with theirs.

Maybe that's why Obama is so scared of ticking them off.

What do you call that?

Oh yeah - Islamophobia.

And if you disagree with me, you're a racist, islamophobic homophobe.

I really hate that these two situations are being combined together. The only reason this idiot brought up the whole "no mosque" deal is because morons like Palin and Beck did.

One guy is trying to blackmail and incite people from another religion, and the other just.. isn't.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

they both boil down to freedom of speech vs. respect/sensitivity for a culture.

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

Freedom of speech is great. Protecting people's rights to their beliefs (however idiotic it maybe as long as it brings no harm upon other people) is the right thing to do. But fuck it about respecting and being sensitive to their beliefs. You have your rights to say anything stupid, but I have my rights to think you're an idiot and laugh at you. This PC crap has gone way overboard.

Fuck religions and its stupid ass fairy tales.

so you don't mind him burning up the Koran because its a book of fairy tales then?

 

[EL PRESIDENTE]

I think the muslims are the crazier nutjobs for reacting how they are reacting in comparison to the Florida dude. The guy is doing a symbolic burning on a copy of a book, yet they are acting like the world is ending.

Nightline did a story on this church last night. 30 members strong and they all wear sidearms to church services.

Attending the church of your choice and bearing arms are the right of all Americans. Is that a problem for you?

Not that I agree with burning ANY book of ANY kind. Like censorship of any kind, it is a stupid and cowardly act.

I don't do the Facebook thing but these rabble-rousers do: http://www.facebook.com/pages/International-Burn-A-Koran-Day/134718123226530?v=wall

 

[MARIS61]

...As for caring that he died because he was expressing his first amendment right, well...Just because you have a right to something and do something stupid with that right doesn't make you noble. If a KKK member walked through Harlem expressing his first amendment right to shout racist epithets, I don't see why I should praise him or regret that he gets capped within the first three blocks. It's called personal responsibility. If you make a dumb decision and get killed for it, why should I honor you?

The guy is fucking stupid and is going to get himself killed for no reason but blind hatred. I just hope that whoever does kill him doesn't take any innocents with him.

Your supreme right to Freedom of Speech does not come with a Protection Package or Poly-resin Support.

It rests entirely on your own shoulders.

Talk the talk, better walk the walk.

This, btw, is quite a bit different from, say, the "Draw Muhammed Day" from some months back. That was focused on bucking religious zealots who were trying to limit free speech. I had no problem with that (even though I know it also happened to offend a lot of other Muslims). If somebody had been killed over it, I would've been upset. The goal was to protect free speech itself, a worthy cause.

I can't see that this priest is doing anything but being an antagonizing dick.
