Yeah, right. If you are in opposition to radical Islam you do not need to burn Qurans. If you are talking about radical Islam you are not talking about the whole of Islam but a faction within it. The Quran represents the whole religion so by burning the Quran it is an attack on the whole religion. If Terry Jones wants to oppose radical Islam he should study radical Islamic views and try to educate radical-minded Muslims why radical Islam does not fulfill Islamic ideals. If he wants to convince people that radical Islam is evil he should be telling Muslims to fight against it.
Salty, with due respect, you're one of the good guys...but if you know so well how to do this...why aren't you doing it?
I live in Gainesville, but I don't know this pastor from Adam. I accidentally drove by that church a year ago looking for yard sales but I can't tell you now where it is...and with all of the media frenzy I have no intention of trying to find it.
The act itself is every bit as preposterous as burning a Bible to a Christian, or burning an American flag to a patriotic American...but isn't that the point?
The media wants to infuse this with hatred...but that's leftie louies for ya. Personally, since moderate Islam seems to be so mute, I think this is a wonderful provocation to get them to find their vocal chords...and start convincing their more radical brethren...rather than sitting back mutely enjoying the headway and *ground* gained by the radicals.
This is a chance for people on all sides to find their voices and USE them!!!
And just watch, the little butthole mayor of G'ville is gonna bust this pastor for burning without a permit or some such BS...Freedom of speech/expression my ass, such freedoms are reserved *only for those we approve of.*
That's lefties for ya, 'specially 'round here.
I wonder where the ACLU will be for this one?
