Whats the point of chopping peoples heads off?

The point is......All we do is appease these muslims.....If burning there holy book pisses them off, then they need to get thicker skin!

They have no tolerance for non-muslims but they want tolerance from everyone else......Screw'em!!!!!

No, not enough explanation for me. He says he is doing this because he is fighting against Islamic extremists, but then goes on to say all Muslims are evil, but then goes on to say that all Islamic countries are evil. He doesn't seem to have a clear position, or else he is not being honest. He is also very poorly informed stating there are no churches in Iran or Iraq, which we all know is untrue.

Watch for yourself:

The religion is evil and the book deserves to be burned. He's said that, if I recall correctly.

Default The burning of Korans will NEVER take place

The inbred, back water redneck will either back down or will be stopped by the government/law enforcement.

After watching the rambling ignorant press conference he just gave, announcing that the burning will go ahead, it's obvious he's just lapping up his 'glory moment'.

Completely agreed.

However, he has one epic moustache.

Folks, this is all about $$$ and publicity.
The preacher has a book out, its sold out and back ordered.
The bank called in the loan on his church last night.
The last thing he said on Nightline was that if God told him not to burn the books, he wouldnt.
I bet $100 that 5 minutes before the Korans are due to burn, God speaks to him.
Oh, and the Gainesville Fire Dept wouldnt give him a burn permit.

It doesn't matter if you believe in free speech. People don't need to justify their speech to you, or anyone else..
