How bad have things gotten? How weak the West? We shall see. Some fringe pastor burns a book and the Muslim world is set to explode.
Terry Jones burned a Qur'an. So what?
My sentiments on this subject are clear. This church's burning of the Qur'an does a grave disservice to the cause of spreading awareness about Islamic teachings and the threat that Sharia poses to our way of life.
Story continues below advertisement
Although I oppose this venture, this is another challenge to the U.S. to stand up for free speech and free expression. Popular speech needs no protection. As such all Americans should support the right of the church to have done this, even if they dislike what they're doing.
Qur'an-burning is a stupid idea, of course, but is protected under the laws of free speech. The burning of books is wrong in principle: the antidote to bad speech is not censorship or book-burning, but more speech. Open discussion. Give-and-take. And the truth will out. There is no justification for burning books. If free men are to be free and not live under Islamic law (sharia), then this man can do this if he wants, and his freedom and rights should be protected. Islamic supremacists should not be allowed a victory for their violent intimidation — if these people want to burn a book, they're free to do so.
If they had burned a Bible, no one would be threatening violence against them.
The Islamic warning that this will threaten American troops is just another terror tactic. This is based on the assumption that they are fighting us because we are doing things they don't like. Actually they are fighting us because of imperatives within the Islamic faith. They will never like us unless we convert to Islam or submit to Islamic rule. If we stop doing things they dislike, where will we draw the line? How far will Sharia advance in the U.S., with Americans afraid to stop its advance for fear of offending Muslims and stirring them up to violence? The Muslim Students Association is already pushing for halal cafeterias, segregated dorms, segregated gym facilities on campus. This is incompatible with American freedom. We have to draw the line.
I will tell you this, Islamic law (sharia) cannot, must not, and will not have its way over our free speech. That is worth fighting for, worth dying for.
Pakistan's ambassador to the UN condemned "this reprehensible act" as "the work of extremists." He didn't mean, of course, any of the recent jihad attacks or plots. What he had in mind was the burning of the Qur'an in Florida, which, as you can see in this story, the OIC is exploiting to renew its jihad against the freedom of speech in the West. The OIC is bent on compelling Western states to criminalize criticism of Islam, which will criminalize any honest examination of the ways in which jihadists use the texts and teachings of Islam to recruit for jihad among peaceful Muslims, thus preempting the formulation of any effective strategy to counter that use.
"OIC to ‘send’ strong condemnation," from the Daily Mail (Pakistan), March 27:
NEW YORK – Reposing complete confidence in Ambassador Abdullah Hussain Haroon, Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, the OIC decided that the Ambassador of Pakistan along with Ambassadors of Tajiskistan (OIC chair), Morocco (OIC Coordinator for Human Rights), Iran and Egypt would meet with the UN Secretary General to convey OIC’s strong condemnation and ask him to take the lead towards promoting inter-faith harmony.
It was decided in OIC ambassadorial meeting which convened here the other day to discuss the recent desecration of the Holy Quran in Florida last week.
The meeting approved the proposals of Ambassador Haroon and his Iranian counterpart that OIC Chair and Observer Mission will draft a strong condemnatory letter on behalf of OIC with the assistance of Pakistan and Morocco to be sent to the UN Secretary General, President UN General Assembly, High Commissioner for Human Rights (HCHR) with the request to circulate it as an official document….
Reiterating the President of Pakistan, Asif Ali Zardari's clear expression of sentiments of the people and extreme provocation and seriousness of the issue, and his call to the United Nations to take immediate action on the subject, Ambassador Haroon the first Speaker from the member states voiced strong condemnation of this sacrilegious act.
He assured that Pakistan would continue playing its active and constructive role in promoting inter-faith harmony and peaceful co-existence.
On March 22, Ambassador Haroon had written a letter to the UN Secretary General, where he drawn UN attention towards this despicable act of desecration of the Holy Quran by Wayne Sapp and Terry Jones in Florida.
He voiced Pakistan's profound regret and deep concern at the increasing acts of "Islamophobia and growing trend of intolerance and hatred towards Muslims as well as insults to their religious symbols and personalities".
The letter further said, "While this reprehensible act is the work of extremists and is evidently designed to provoke dissent and discord among communities and peoples across the world, such sacrilegious acts also go against the very concept of inter-faith harmony and threaten the multicultural fabric of the societies and the brotherhood of the United Nations".
The Ambassador urged the United Nations to play its important role in ensuring peace and harmony among peoples of the world. He said Pakistan has full confidence in the UN's leadership and hoped that it would take all steps to fight such tendencies and promote intercultural and inter-faith harmony that is basic to coexistence of mankind.
Recalling Pakistan’s initiative on Interfaith Dialogue and participation in the Alliance of Civilization, Ambassador Haroon stated that Pakistan has always stood for promoting peace and harmony among people and nations of the world.
He regretted that while OIC has always supported peace initiatives in all regions of the world including tolerant and constructive engagement during last year’s Islamophobic incidents i.e. threats to burn the Quran and opposition to construction of Islamic Center in New York, attacks on Islam, its symbols and holy personalities continue unabated.
The Ambassador proposed that the OIC group should write a letter to the UN Secretary General (UNSG) asking him to issue a strong condemnatory statement and take concrete action to protect multiculturalism and promote peace and harmony in the world….
Bat Ye'or on the OIC (Organization of Islamic Confernce):
The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) is a religious and political organization. Close to the Muslim World League of the Muslim Brotherhood, it shares the Brotherhood's strategic and cultural vision: that of a universal religious community, the Ummah, based upon the Koran, the Sunna, and the canonical orthodoxy of shari'a. The OIC represents 56 countries and the Palestinian Authority (considered a state), the whole constituting the universal Ummah with a community of more than one billion three to six hundred million Muslims.
The OIC has a unique structure among nations and human societies. The Vatican and the various churches are de facto devoid of political power, even if they take part in politics, because in Christianity, as in Judaism, the religious and political functions have to be separated. Asian religions, too, do not represent systems that bring together religion, strategy, politics, and law within a single organizational structure.Not only does the OIC enjoy unlimited power through the union and cohesion of all its bodies, but also to this it adds the infallibility conferred by religion. Bringing together 56 countries, including some of the richest in the world, it controls the lion's share of global energy resources. The European Union (EU), far from anticipating the problems caused by such a concentration of power and investing in the diversification and autonomy of energy sources since 1973, acted to weaken America internationally in order to substitute for it the U.N., the OIC's docile agent. In the hope of garnering a few crumbs of influence, the EU privileged a massive Muslim immigration into Europe, paid billions to the Mediterranean Union and Palestinian Authority, weakened the European states, undermined their unity, and wrapped itself in the flag of Palestinian justice, as though this would supply some protective system against the global jihad, which it endeavored to focus on Israel.Religion as the main aspect of the OIC emerges from its language and its targets. It seems that the OIC is restoring in the 21st century the Caliphate, the supreme controlling body for all Muslims. In their Charter (2008), Member States confirm that their union and solidarity are inspired by Islamic values. They affirm their aim to reinforce within the international arena their shared interests and the promotion of Islamic values. They commit themselves to revitalizing the pioneering role of Islam in the world, increasing the prosperity of the member states, and — in contrast to to the European states — to ensure the defense of their national sovereignty and territorial integrity. They proclaim their support for Palestine with al-Quds Al Sharif, the Arabized name for Jerusalem, as its capital, and exhort each other to promote human rights, basic freedoms, the state of law (shari'a), and democracy according to their constitutional and legal system — in other words, compliance with shari'a.They also undertake to stimulate noble Muslim values, to preserve their symbols and their shared heritage, and to defend the universality of the Islamic religion — simply put, the universal propagation of Islam (da'wa). They state that they are promoting women's rights and encourage their active participation in all walks of life, in accordance with the laws of the Member States. They agree to inculcate Muslim children with Islamic values and to support Muslim minorities and communities outside the Member States in order to preserve their dignity and their cultural and religious identity.The Charter's strategic targets seek "[t]o ensure active participation of the Member States [of the OIC] in the global political, economic and social decision-making processes to secure their common interests" (I-5) and "[t]o promote and defend unified position on issues of common interest in international forums" (1-17).Among its targets, the OIC Charter specifies the propagation, promotion, and preservation of Islamic teachings and values, the spread of Islamic culture, and the preservation of the Islamic heritage (I-11). Article I-12 promotes the protection and defense of the true image of Islam, the fight against its defamation, and the encouragement of dialogue between civilizations and religions. The other objectives deal with protecting inherent Islamic family values (I-14) and the preservation of rights, dignity, and religious and cultural identity of the Muslim communities and minorities in non-Member States (I-16). This issue points to the OIC authority over immigrants abroad and its pressure on the governments of the non-Muslim host countries through the channel of dialogue, including the Alliance of Civilizations, whose Report backs OIC programs, and interfaith and immigration networks.The OIC supports all the jihadist movements considered to be resisting "foreign occupation," including those in "occupied" Indian Kashmir, and condemns the "humiliation and oppression" of Muslims in India.The Charter stipulates that the International Islamic Court of Justice shall become the Organization's main legal body (Chap. X, Art. 14) and that "[t]he Independent Permanent Commission on Human Rights shall promote the civil, political, social and economic rights enshrined in the organization's [OIC] covenants and declarations and in universally agreed human rights instruments, in conformity with Islamic values" (Art. 15). It implies that the covenants which do not conform with Islamic values will not be followed.One can note that Sudanese President Omar al Bashir, accused (according to Western criteria of justice) of genocide committed in southern Sudan and Darfur, has not been troubled by the Islamic Court of Justice. His colleagues at the OIC do not consider him in any way a criminal and receive him with great respect, as does Turkish PM Erdogan.The Islamic Court of Justice has an international mandate and could try foreigners, both Muslims and non-Muslims (blasphemers, apostates, resisters to jihad) who have broken the laws of shari'a anywhere. Moreover, the claim by the OIC to be the guardian and protector of Muslim immigrants living in all countries that are not members of the OIC implies an extension of its jurisdiction and political influence over all the Muslims of Europe, North and South America, and the other non-Member States. This situation exacerbates the danger incurred by non-religious European Muslims, whether atheists, apostates, or free thinkers.Within its organization, the Charter presents characteristics similar to those of the EU; however, in terms of its spirit, functions, principles, and objectives, it is the EU's very antithesis. Even if it employs the language of international organizations, the meaning of the words is different by their being rooted in the conceptual world of the Koran, which contradicts the basis of secular Western thought. Thus, Article 32-2 states, "The Council of Foreign Ministers [of OIC countries] shall recommend the rules of procedures of the Islamic Summit." This implies an Islamic view and understanding on policy.Such a combined political and religious institution is at the very outer rim of Western thinking, anchored as it is in the separation between politics and religion. Even if interference between the two fields has persisted, the principle of such separation has facilitated emancipation in the intellectual and political arenas from religious authority and the development of critical thought.Present-day aspiration of the Ummah to submit to a caliphate which embodies a combined political-religious institution can only surprise the Westerner and highlight the gap that separates the two. Rooted in individualism, Europeans cultivate the search for happiness and cherish freedom of thought and of rational, scientific exploration, which are perceived as a human being's greatest privilege and finest adventure.Conversely, aspiring to the Caliphate indicates the longing for a supreme authority owing its infallibility to Allah and his human intermediary, Mohammed. According to Ibn Khaldoun, this institution placing politics at the service of worldwide, religious expansionism was created as instrument for the mandatory Islamization of mankind. Faced today with this political archaism, a divided and broken West seeks refuge in denial and grasps at the demise of tiny Israel as though at a lifebelt. Taking in water from every side, this West that abandons its own identity for multilateralism and multiculturalism and ruins its citizenry by buying security has little chance of survival.

Pamela, while segregated dorms are a small part of this big, important issue, I have to remind you that before the “sexual revolution” of the late 6-‘s early 70’s they were the norm on ALL college campuses. I’m not sure that is a bad thing honestly and for those who want to share across gender lines, there is off campus housing. There have been more problems with coed dorms than Universities want to admit. I would not have wanted it but neither would I have wanted to choose a women’s school just to feel comfortable in my residence.

Pamela,
This is frightening. To think that there is a possible scenario that we would be denied by law to speak out against the Islamic subversive aggression, world-wide barbarism, human rights violations, the deceptive quest for freedom of their pseudo-religious ideology, and , well… you of course know the long list. It makes me seriously, but reasonably, angry want to work full-time to combat this hiddeous scourge.

Islamophobia: Does America Have a Muslim Problem?

Well said, Pam. The truth will out. The antidote to poisoned speech is the truth. The truth is what keeps people up at night. The truth is what cleanses people.

MK, I agree and prefer non-coed housing on campuses but not for religious reasons or the enforcement of sharia. The breakdown of morality is a whole other issue. I do not conflate the left’s war on women and values and family with the imposition of the sharia.
Both are horrible extremes with disastrous consequences.

True. The best way to fight the islamic sewer rats and ghouls is
to expose them to glaring searchlight of facts and truths about their
own rotten culture …they fight back or run away to hide under sharia.

Someone threatens to burn a koran and the islamic world freaks out and the Western media jumps to their defense. However when muslims burn a church or attack and slaughter Christians the media remains silent or attempts to justify the attacks as a response to “islamophobia”. Disgusting. I wipe my ass with pages from their koran. Then I burn it.

The koran was written by a series of human psychopaths. It is manifestly evil and promotes evil. It should be burned or ripped up and thrown away: it is a recipe-book for world disaster!

If Hussein was able to succeed in making burning a koran a crime in accordance with the OIC’s calls for censorship would it be all right to burn one then? Or would we have to “respect” it’s “holy” nature? He probably knows he couldn’t get away with it now and that such a measure would be declared unconstitutional and it won’t go beyond issuing the usual stupid “condemnatory” Declaration of Whining By the Pot to the Kettle. But unless this tsunami starts receding, with in a very few years hissy fits over koran burnings and halal food are going to seem downright quaint.

How are they logistically going to prosecute, persecute and imprison every westerner who hates pislam to boot? That would be millions world wide. So just keep on hating pislam no matter what laws they write.

In Saudi Arabia, if Bibles are found on anyone at the airport, the Bibles are shredded. A quantity of Bibles and you will be given 70 lashes and you can be executed, says Danny Nalliah, a Sri Lankan-born evangelical pastor now based in Australia.
During the 1990s, Nalliah spent two years in Saudi Arabia, where he was deeply involved with the underground church.
Saudi Arabia, in destroying Bibles, the Word of G-D, is guilty of attacking G-D and G-D’s unchangeable Laws given to His faithful Hebrew servant, Moses.
YOU SHALL NOT MURDER
By destroying Holy Bibles, the Muslims cannot destroy G-D’s eternal Laws! They will stand before G-D one day and will tremble. It will be too late to repent on the Day of Judgment.

Ambassador Haroon: “…last year’s Islamophobic incidents i.e. opposition to construction of Islamic Center in New York.”
It is extremely vile and utterly unacceptable that Muslims consider that infidels who do not obey the constant demands of Muslims and submit to Islam in a non-Muslim country, is Islamophobic. It is not Islamophobic. It is SELF RESPECT as a nation. Demanding to spit on the graves of our cherished 3,000 with a mosque to honor Islam at the place where our people were slaughtered without mercy by the followers of Islam shows profound disrespect for our country and a despising and hate of our 3,000 beloved innocent victims.

Pamela, this is really unacceptable, against everything this country stands for, etc., etc., etc. Therefore, after reading the European Voice of Reason speech, as well as the advice he gave to stop the wave of Islamic nuts, I took my first step today and created a new blog: The White Rose in honor of the German students murdered by the Gestapo, with the goal of giving support to all women who are threatened by their families and in need of help. I’ll post contact information for hot-lines and shelters for abused women by state and main city. I’m in the preliminaries, but here is the link:

Freedom of speech and freedom of expression are just two of the very important reasons for burning the Koran. Pakistan has a blasphemy law, many other Islamic nations are killing and torturing every day. In order to have a REAL voice in this arena, one must take a radical stand which is exactly what Dr. Terry Jones has done and will continue to do.

Pamela, this:
“NEW YORK – Reposing complete confidence in Ambassador Abdullah Hussain Haroon, Permanent Representative of Pakistan to the United Nations, the OIC decided that the Ambassador of Pakistan along with Ambassadors of Tajiskistan (OIC chair), Morocco (OIC Coordinator for Human Rights), Iran and Egypt would meet with the UN Secretary General to convey OIC’s strong condemnation and ask him to take the lead towards promoting inter-faith harmony.”
is a joke! They are laughing at us! The parents of war casualties have to endure the presence of nuts holding boards cellebrating the death of their children because the nuts have the Constitutional right to do so. And on top of that we have to put up with the barbarians laughing at us from the UN? C’mon! Isn’t there somebody in Congress with some kind of authority to raise his or her voice?
I don’t doubt that Hussein will apologize in the name of the country! Jefferson’s, Washington’s and Adams’ bones must be twisting and turning in their graves! What a corollary for such a great nation!

To understand Islam easily, one must only logically and analytically examine four things. I’ll just present part one of the gift today. Enjoy!
1. Ad Hominen Attacks Resulting in Extermination through Dehumanization
To simplify, I’ll compare Adolph Hitler to the Islamic deity Allah and the Nazis to Muslims. During WWII, Hitler and Nazis “exterminated” over 6 million undesirables called “untermensch” which means sub-human. These were mainly Jews, but also gays, Catholics, gypsies, and other. They were eliminated by referring to humans as non-humans, thus making the extermination of non-humans equivalent to the culling of animals, and not the murder of fellow humans. Other guilty parties that use similar terminology today are the reviled KKK, Neo-Nazis, White-Supremacists, and others.
For humans to call other humans sub-humans, is indeed revolting and repulsive.
A religious deity would never engage in such vile behavior, or would he/she?
Remember please: Islam is the perfect religion (Koran 5:3), forbidden to be doubted (Koran 2:2), the original Koran is in heaven with Allah (Koran 85:21-22), by Allah (10:37) only in Arabic (43:3), transmitted through angel Gabriel over a period of a quarter-century (23 years) to the illiterate Mohammed (7:157).
The Islamic deity Allah per Koran not only refers to us indirectly as untermensch via Koran 98:6 when we non-Muslims are referred to as “the vilest of creatures” but also “the worst beasts” per Koran 8:55. It is one thing to be called the vilest of humans, but Muslim’s holy book the Koran doesn’t even recognize us as humans by calling us the vilest and worst beasts. We have been upgraded to pigs and apes in Koran 2:65, 5:60, and 7:166 and then back down again as we are worse than cattle 7:179.
Personally, if I’m going to be designated a sub-human animal, I’d prefer the dog. We do know however that Mohammed had all dogs killed per Buhkari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 540. Sorry Fifi. This is probably because Mohammed said angels don’t enter houses with dogs and pictures inside per Buhkari Volume 4, Book 54, Number 539. Oh wait, I’m sorry, Allah does refer to us non-Muslims as filthy, panting dogs with tongues hanging out in Koran 7:176. Take your pick Infidels: pigs, apes, worse than cows, or dogs. This is what Allah calls ALL of us non-Muslims.
Islamic crimes against humanity, made easier by referring to us humans as animals and thus turning the act of murder into the chore of culling, resulted in a population decrease of 80 million on the Indian (subcontinent) between 1000 (conquest of Afghanistan) and 1525 (end of Delhi Sultanate). For more, please refer to Koenraad Elst. The Muslim crimes against non-Muslims in India are more than ten times worse than Nazis crimes against Jews, gays, and others in WWII.

Something for Pam to think about: In order to win this war that Islam has started non Muslims are going to need radical wings. This does not mean that the non radicals need to endorse what the radical groups do but they should rather make excuses or mildly condemn that behavior. We will never defeat Islamic advances with talk alone we will need the radicals to stand up and fight. In conclusion I will say that despite the Pastor’s act of burning of the flag might have been a bit over the top, what we need to understand is that his actions were brought on by the persecution of Christians in most Islamic countries.

Muslims do not believe in God as per New Testament.
Muslims believe in a tribal god of Saudi Arabia, named Allah.
Therefore, as Allah resides in Saudi Arabia, Muslims demand that the rest of the world’s population kneel down towards Saudi Arabia.
Muslims have seen that temples of all other religions were destroyed by Islamic forces throughout the millennia with total impunity; but, nobody or no force on earth was ever “able to” destroy Islamic “holy places” in Saudi Arabia.
So, Muslims believe that Allah’s places are indestructible! And, non-believers of Allah must be either weak or powerless in front of Allah.
The only way to awaken Muslims from their delusions is to decimate all “holy places” of Islam in Saudi Arabia.
Only then, Muslims around the world will be able to understand that Allah is nothing but a fictitious tribal god that came out of Prophet Muhammad’s schizophrenic brain.
Islamic Prophet Muhammad was an evil man.
“Allah” was the invention of Prophet Muhammad.

Get the US out of the UN and the UN out of the US, AND get the US out of the ME and the ME out of the US.
The OIC can support burning Churches, Synogods, Temples, destroying ancient statues, and of course kill ALL who are not MUSLIM, but DO NOT burn a QURAN. Atlas is correct. If we are going to stop these KORANIMALS, we must encourage, women, GAYS and JEWs to actually read the Quran and follow current events. They didn’t kill over 4000 Budhist in Thailand because they support Israel! Dirty Kafirs of the world UNITE!

Where can I get a copy of the Koran? I am going camping soon and the price of toilet paper is going up.
I am not racist, beleiving that a socalled religion of peace and its followers are a cult does not make one a racist.
On to the topic at hand. Coed dorms are just asking for promiscuety (?). With the lack of morals in todays youth I rather predict that free clinics of death , I mean abortion farms, ooops , Family Planning offices will be rather more busy then normal in the past. The big question is to me where is this so called seperation of church and state? How come the Islamic hoard gets their cult where and when they want, yet I cannot wear a Crusifix any where? Some eman answer that in a fair and balanced way.

Ambassador Haroon stated that Pakistan has always stood for promoting peace and harmony among people and nations of the world. The Muslim savages go ape-sh*t when someone burns his own copy of the koran but the savages don’t say when Christians are burnt or beheaded. Warning graphic images in the following links.

Would the burning of any other book not related to Islam attract worldwide attention? If no, why not?
Would the burning of an American flag in America attract worldwide attention? If yes, why?
Would the destruction of privately-owned property attract worldwide attention if not related to Islam? If yes, why?
Would the mere shredding of any other book not related to Islam attract worldwide attention? If no, why not?
If Pastor Jones would have merely burnt, or shredded, a photocopy of the Koran, would this have been news worthy?
How about a photocopy of a photocopy of the Koran?
Didn’t Sun Tzu in the Art of War something about ‘If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him.”?

Radical ‘wings’ are not necessary when all that is necessary is to keep spreading information and let the bulk of the population react which they will. I have a lot of trust in “we the people”. Why do you think that CAIR at the rest of the MB front want to stifle free speech? They are not afraid of some easily marginalised fringe radicals, but are afraid of the fulfillment of the Lincoln aphorism “….but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time”.
As for Terry Jones, he threatened to burn a koran last September, but did not do so. He ‘supervised’ a koran burning by Wayne Sapp in a Florida church March 20th before about thirty people. When did he burn a flag? I can’t find any reference to him claiming that he was motivated by persecution of Christians, just that he put the book on trial, found that it was not a book of peace, and punished it.

Mein Kampf is available in bookshops in Arab cities. No surprise there.

A bunch of radical vegetarians did steal the ‘black stone’ from the kaaba in Mecca and take it back to their base near Bahrain. That was the Qarmatians, a Shia Ismaili sect, who took the stone in 930 A.D. when they rebelled against the Abassid Caliph and sacked Mecca and Medina. They also threw corpses of Hajj pilgrims into the well of Zamzam (they considered the Hajj a superstition). The black stone was returned in 952 A.D. after the Caliph had paid a ransom.

“The Muslim Students Association is already pushing for halal cafeterias, segregated dorms, segregated gym facilities on campus. This is incompatible with American freedom. We have to draw the line.
This must be fought tooth and nails”.
Take the case of halal cafeterias. The Christians have very good grounds to oppose the eating of halal food because it was forbidden by St.Paul on the following grounds:
Acts 15:23-29
“You are to abstain from food sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. You will do well to avoid these things”. The Muslims sacrifice the animals to their moon god Allah which is an idol.
In the case of separate facilities I can’t do better than link the reader to a GOV article about a hospital in Vienna. The following incident is reported from Vienna Medical Center East: A father wanted to spend the night in the hospital after his daughter’s operation. But that won’t do. Muslim fathers will not allow a non-Muslim man near their children. A doctor at the hospital explains:
“If a Muslim mother should stay overnight in the hospital with her sick child, Muslim fathers will not allow a non-Muslim man to be in the same room,” This is what awaits America when you give in now. There is more at

We need more folks like this fellow standing up to the Muslims and standing up for OUR rights, principles and values.
Unfortunately, liberals are cowards and would rather acquiesce so as not to have to risk anything. That leaves the job to ordinary Americans like us.
AOA

“..angels don’t enter houses with dogs…”
One blogger in one of his posts pointed out that Muslims believe that each rain drop contains an angel to guide it. The question is why should the angels guide the rain drops on to dogs. Dogs do get caught in the rain and they do get wet by the rain. It is bit of a conundrum isn’t it.

When they stop burning, butchering and beheading non-muslims, when they stop celebrating the murders committed in the name of their rabid moon deity, when they stop oppressing and terrorizing innocent people, then and only then could I even pretend to give a tinker’s damn if their evil cult book manual of inhumane treatment is desecrated. They burn churches with people still in them, they chop heads off of babies they have no moral high ground from which to condemn the west’s mild condemnation of their atrocities. Screw them. I would never spend money to by their satanic book, but if I did come across a copy, I would certainly treat it with the respect it deserves, which is none. They burn people, but get offended and filled with murderous rage if someone burns their stupid book? I repeat: screw them.

In the US and Europe the elected representation has not only allowed this situation to flourish but has aided in its development. We need representation that will preserve and protect Western civilization and its people. Candidates seeking election are never asked their view on Western civilization and its worth but they should be asked and they should answer.

I agree with Pamela that burning the Qu’ran (in most cases) is not an appeal to reason. However, I think there are some instances where burning the Qu’ran can be an appeal to reason and pure political speech.
Burning the Qu’ran can be a political statement and an appeal to reason. For example: if a Jewish person burns the Qu’ran with the express reason given for doing that being the Jew-hating suras in the Qu’ran, then that is protected speech. It is the physical expression of the Jewish person’s idea and opinion of the Jew-hating suras in the Qu’ran. It is an appeal to reason, a call for their removal from the Qu’ran. (Though Muslims are not obliged to remove the Jew-hating suras, they are obliged to respect the Jewish person’s opinion re those suras in the Jewish persons act of burning the Qu’ran.)
Free speech is about free political speech, the expression of ideas and opinions, verbally or by a behavior. All such speech is protected speech in the US by the first amendment. Thus, one can burn the US flag if the reason given for that is to express an idea or an opinion on some matter relating to US policy etc.
Not all speech is protected in America. For example: calling for violence or harm against anyone is not free political speech. Using cuss words on the public airwaves is not protected speech.
Burning the Qu’ran is protected political speech (as in the example given above), as are cartoons of Muhammad, since they express ideas and opinions re Islam, its dogmas, its Jew-hating suras etc.
(BTW-The clever, cowardly, slyly made threat made by some Muslims that warns Unbelievers that burning a Qu’ran will cause an attack on Unbelievers (soldiers e.g.) by some Muslim third party is soft incitement. Though “protected” political speech, it comes close to incitement in its warnings re violence against people expressing negative ideas and opinions (verbally or by behavior) re the Qu’ran.)

I think Terry Jones is a whack-job. He’s infantile in the manner of the GZ developer El-Sham. These are members of the Low-IQ-Club.
However, persons who would burn the Qu’ran with a clear political reason given (protesting the the Jew-hating suras in the Qu’ran e.g.) are protected by the first amendment. They are expressing a political idea and opinion. If such persons are wise and prudent, they will clearly give the exact reason for burning the Quran before burning the Qu’ran and thus be unambiguous as to why they are symbolically expressing their politically-symbolic-speech (opinion) of the Qu’ran and its contents.

There is a pattern of slyly made threats by some “moderate Muslims” (Iago Rauf, Daisy Con e.g.) that they cant’t control or be held responsible for Muslims who might harm people who express negative opinions re the GZ Mosque, the Qu’ran etc. It’s like saying “try not to think of a pink elephant.”
It’s a cowardly tactic: typical Iago (the sinister and sly character in Shakespeare’s Othello) tactics. Or as my grandmother used to say: “He (Iago types e.g.) makes the snowballs and leaves them nearby for others to throw.”

I’m not “envious” of Terry Jones on anything (I think he’s a whack-job) or of you either. I couldn’t care less what you “think.”
In my opinion Jones is a whack-job. I think Fibrahim Hooper is a phony stapled-stomach bee keeper, that Bob Beckel has penis envy, and that you are grungyoldvan.
BTW-There is such thing as “bad publicity”-you moron.

Hatred is the fruit of JEALOUSY by the Muslims toward the only GOD and His faithful. They and Mo wanted a religion all their own. How does their myth stack up next to Reality? OKAY! Then explain no further.
It is man-made day-old goulash. Never argue with a fool.

I hope they condemn the muslims’ burning and destroying of Bibles on a daily basis. They destroy whole carloads not just one measly book. Why can these barbarians get away with desecrating Bibles but cry bloody murder when that terrorist manual, the koran is not respected. I do not respect the koran. It’s a two way street–until muslims respect my beliefs, I sure as h*ll won’t respect theirs.
