If the nutty pastor would be smart, he would now cancel the actual koran burning because he has already achieved a lot and probably more than he had dreamed of before he began his political protest: he has initiated a world-wide public debate about some important public issues.

That is quite a success.
For example it is interesting to see how people who argued for or against the “Ground Zero Mosque” now respond to the Koran burning issue. Some people may even rethink their position.

I am of course talking about the majority of people, those who are still standing on the middle ground and not about the extremists. There is no point in debating with extremists. They won’t change their opinion anyway because they are unable to listen.

Good point Dan D :up:

Correct answer!!

Koran/Qu'ran burning is now off. I'm afraid it's back to boring old firewood. :damn:

"not the time" he says,
 

which suggests an initially poor understanding, or was he trying to market to bring their Christian service,which he has partially succeeded, but when he plans next "promotion" for his services.

Btw thanks for posting Oberon!

No probs Vendor, I just noticed it whilst checking the 'Latest Headlines' on Firefox. It doesn't surprise me, it was a fifty/fifty whether he would go through with it and all the controversy that would arise or whether he'd brinkmanship it.

@ Sammi : as we are mainly talking about religious belief and consequently are a bit off-topic currently, I suggest we switch to PM now.

BTW, you have one. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a75.../smileys/4.gif

Some are saying he simply said it is off the the center moves. ******* trump moved in offering to pay mega bucks for the site.

That version of terrorism will have won if that center moves at this point. That 50 member church will get bolder and bolder. For putting our troops at such direct risk they ought to be shot by the FBI as a "clear and present danger" not given what they want.

Well it appears that idiot-boy canceled his stunt. Too bad, I was looking forward to him being arrested for having a fire without a permit.

What a tool. :nope:

A 50 person bankrupt church.... Why did the media give his jerk any airtime?

Oh bullpucky. You know and I know they had a Constitutional right to burn those Korans. You have to realize stupid speech is still protected speech. We would be less of a nation if we trumped up some kind of false premise to raid or arrest them on.

You take the good with the bad, the smart with the stupid in allowing Free Speech. Let's focus on the bigger problems to our troops safety, like saying the end of combat has arrived, except we're keeping 50,000 combatants there.

There is a BIG BIG BIG difference here.

Burning the Koran has NO positive effect. No political purpose. It is simply hate mongering. It has a DIRECT effect of putting our troops in danger they know this. They do not care therefore they are directly and willfully putting US Troops in danger.

That is Terrorism

We must agree, to disagree.

Anyone catch this already?

I saw it the other day on fark. I love Fark's headline on it:
:har:

Really good,
 

:haha:

As I expected it has been reveled that the pastor is a liar and his claim that the community center moving is false.


They have no intentions to "barter" (Of course not you don't negotiate with terrorists)

The terrorist pastor now says he is "not sure" if he wont burn the books.

That pastor is a terrorist in my opinion you don't negotiate with terrorists. The FBI has a clear mission now in my opinion which is to neutralize him and any of his followers who attempt to carry out the action through arrest for force in my opinion.

It is clear now folks the FBI in my opinion CAN NOT let him carry out his terrorist threat so I as a citizen of the United States urge the FBI and the United States government to take action against this group of terrorists before they endanger innocent lives and soldiers.
