So what are we to make of these state theocracies and their religion?

Are you suggesting that an honest distrust of Muslims is a phobia?

US church to go ahead with Sept. 11 Quran burning

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – A Christian minister vowed Tuesday to go ahead with plans to burn copies of the Quran to protest the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks despite warnings from the White House and the top U.S. general in Afghanistan that he would endanger American troops overseas.

US church to go ahead with Sept. 11 Quran burning - Yahoo! News (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100907/ap_on_re_us/quran_burning - broken link)

I'm ashamed of America when I read crap like this.
Just be ashamed that these people call themselves Christians and are willing to endanger American lives. It is not the Government doing this, just haters

So you're saying it would be rational for there to be violent reponse and americans to be killed a result of burning books? And the problem is with those who burn books??

Why not hold MUSLIMS up to the same standards you hold non muslims? Or do you think they are not capable of civilized behavior? And if so, does that make you a bigot?
I'm not making excuses for Muslims. How did you ever get that idea from my post? I'm saying we're suppose to be a better country than to stoop to such intolerant and bigoted actions as burning the holy books of another culture. We're suppose to be the light of the world, the country people want to come to because we've always have been an accepting melting pot. I'm sorry, but what would Jesus do? Would he advocate an action that is so divisive and full of hate as burning the Koran? If you answer 'yes' then you studied a different Bible than I did.

What is the point of the daily burn the US flag protests, or burning danish flags or the death threats against Dutch politicians?

What is the point of Ashura when shiite muslims cut their heads and deliberate make the blood flow while running around?

If you were cold, you'd think that "burning things is stupid"? Burning things isn't very bright? Do you realize how virtually all engines work, by burning things? YOu realize that i ndustrialization would never happened without burning things.

People who get stuck in cold environments and run out of sources of heat can burn pages of books so that they can LIVE. That's so stupid of them! B urning things is always stupid!

Fact: The left and their opposition to this book burning expects there to be violence in response. Why not expect no violence instead? Do you think m uslims can react in a non violent way, or is it suddenly beyond their control and it will be our fault, their actions??

I guess next time there's a muslim terrorist attack in the west, non muslims won't be expected to control themselves, right? Or you have a double standard where you don't expect muslims to behave in a civilized manner? Maybe you should expect more from muslims?

Nice try to twist my words.
Clearly in the context of this conversation I was relating to burning of flags and korans and bibles. So yeah, those people aren't too bright.

They probably burn the US flag due to the invasion of their country by US forces.

So what is he trying to achieve? Please don't answer with another question. I'd like an actual answer.
