They burn our flags. When 9/11 happened, I saw Muslims dancing in the streets of Dearborn (biggest Muslims population in the USA) and how they step on our flag.

Even now, they were protesting the Quran burning by burning our flag. LOL. I like the reaction. Muslims are like Conservatives. Fun to provoke and laugh at after. They can sit there insulting all the other religions all day and burn the USA flag and ban other religious text but heaven forbid we burn a Quran or draw Muhammed.

ZOMG! ZOMG!

lol, THAT GREAT EXPRESSION MIGHT AS WELL PLACE A GIGANTIC X on Mr. Jones' back, becuase he will get targeted by some fanatic who will find him and assassinate his dumb behind

Wouldn't burning the Quran be a part of free speech? Like flag burning and bible burning?

Why is it that when radical muslims burn bibles AND churches, their moderate brethren and worldwide opinion don't come down on them the same way?

Christians in Gaza Fear for Their Lives as Muslims Burn Bibles and Destroy Crosses - Associated Content - associatedcontent.com

Quote:
Father Manuel Musallem, head of Gaza's Latin church, told the AP that Muslims have ransacked, burned and looted a school and convent that are part of the Gaza Strip's small Romany Catholic community. He told the AP that crosses were broken, damage was done to a statue of Jesus, and at the Rosary Sister School and nearby convent, prayer books were burned.
Why are we always looking for ways to appease the radical muslims? they hate us, they will always hate us and it won't make a lick of difference whether we burn their holy book or not.

Well - Islam means submission and many liberals have already submitted.

Kind of sad, they never put up a fight.

Muslims?
They already did that in WWII.
Well probably NOT dancing as that is sinful in their eyes and they would probably kill you for doing it.
