The guy that played the drill instructor was an ex-marine himself and he wrote most of his own lines.

So we're all agreed that burning a copy of the Qu'ran is a stupid idea?

Quite possibly at least in the short,medium term not so much endanger troops,whom by nature of their job are often in danger anyhow,but symbols of christianity in the Muslim world,Westerners,and not only Americans,facing increased threats of danger in a whole string of countries..by Muslims expressing their angle on free speech.

Do you honestly think that being nice and submissive to the jihadists have made them be nice to us?
Burning the Koran in fact is another victory for those on the extreme side of Islam to further convince those of the 99% of the ordinary folk numbering close on one billion muslims,that The West,not necessary even America is evil and needs to be brought to heel.. Should help increase their recruiting drive as well.
