Mmm-hmm.
Muslim prisons usually aren't full because thet don't have appeals and people waiting on Death Row that die of old age. They don't have endless Lawyers , Court Cases and Appeals . They usually behead and Stone people and shoot protestors.

this will not change one thing if they do this
except more violence
there are plenty of muslims that will be insulted by the burning of their holy book, and although I am not a muslim, I am a christian, I too am insulted by the hate and narrow-mindedness coming from these people
this can cause more deaths to our men and women fighting for our freedom, shame on this man.

I do not support the burning of this book
and I hope he does not do it

Your going to bash General Petraeus, the man who saved the Iraq war for us, and could do the same for Afghanistan?

Are you serious?

Its not out of control PC, its stupid, plain and simple. Have a "protest Islam" day, Burn the flag of Saudi Arabia, or Egypt. Thats where the terrorists were from, or were funded.

But burning books is crap that Nazi's do, not Americans.

That's a good thing!....The kind of war strategy Gen.Petraeus is portraying President "Ourbomber" will replace the Korans with "NEW" ones, so not to offend our enemies, and put us further into debt! Someone needs to explain the rules of engagement to the American people again. We all need to be on the same track when it comes to this war! Is it war or are we being held hostage over there


The general is in charge of the war in Afganistian and he is asking for this not to happen because it will cause more violence
it is easy for you to sit at your computer and say burn the damn books, it is not your life on the line
I have two friends over there and they are in enough danger with out some loon making it worse
there are plenty of muslims that have fought and died in these wars
good grief!

It really bothers me that the same people who say they support the troops, and backed the Bush agenda in Iraq 100%, are now turning their back on the best of us just for a stupid act that will do nothing but cause more hate.

If someone told me that eating anything except rice would hurt our men and women serving, I'd be a rice eating mofo.

I served, and it makes me sick that some people would turn their backs on our troops by conducting an asinine act for no good reason whatsoever.

Mmm-hmm.
You misunderstood my point. I never said that Christians never resort to violence. I was being specific that Christians will not become violent if someone burns bibles while Muslims will become violent if the Koran is burned.
