That seems to be working out very well for you. Congratulations.

Where I come from, though, you learn pretty quickly that the best way to tame a bear rarely includes poking it with a stick.
Nope. I don't think the koran-burning has anything to do with their feelings being hurt, one way or another. The church isn't doing it because they're fragile and their feelings get hurt. They're doing it because they think it's an evil book, and the religion is evil.

My opinion is that they would do much better in life if they didn't take offense every time someone looked cross-eyed at them.

And yet, "MotleyCrew", why do I doubt that your "opinion" is greatly informed by many experiences outside the confines of the high school locker room and the Wal-Mart break room, and is of the highest caliber.

Is that all you got? You are so cute! You should be a diplomat!!!!

I heard the burning is back on since the Imam broke his word about moving the site of the mosque. I guess the Phelps family church will be burning as well.

Why are they allowed to be more militant in the defense of their religion and identities than we are?
This argument seems to be pervasive here on these forum threads ' why do they pick on us if we protest muslims but they dont say anything when the muslims protest against the U.S' - I dont see a lot of muslims burning flags or bibles or anything here in the U.S.- if you have any evidence of this happening here and NOT in a Muslim country then please present it- those that hate the U.S. and burn effigies of our leaders, flags, etc. are not U.S. citizens engaging in protests here, they are in a foreign country-why would any U.S. media or president or anyone here have anything to say about those muslims in other countries? It is not the same as a U.S. religious leader calling out for an act of hate- it is like comparing apples and oranges-your outrage is misguided-

The most inflammatory thing that Christians in the West have done is criticize Islam and maybe burn a book. The most inflammatory thing the Muslims have done is oh..I don't know...intentionally murder civilians and stuff.
Hardly. Coalition forces in Afghanistan and elsewhere have killed many innocent men, women, and children.
