Lovely. They're allowed to burn schools, but we aren't allowed to burn a book.

All I know is if these morons start burning American flags in the U.S.A. while wearing handkerchiefs over their faces and screaming death to America (or crap like "burn,burn,U.S.A.) they will be in for a world of hurt.

Video from London on September 11th,2010 in front of the U.S. Embassy.

Yep, that's the liberal point of view. "If I feed the crocodile it'll eat me last" type of mentality.

Whereas we know better that the crocodile will always go to the source of the food and if he doesn't want to get eaten, he better start appeasing again. And rinse and repeat.

Sorry. The vermin that torched the church are to blame. Nobody else.

Burning is stupid, right?

You "weren't allowed" because it was an uneducated, pointless stance to take.

Just as those who burnt schools there were stupid.

Okay, burn books if you want to. Go ahead.

From the article:

More than 70 people have died as unrest and protests have swept across Kashmir since June, in what appears to be the worst violence since a separatist insurgency began in 1989.

Don't blame all this on the Pastor though. These animals are capable of being violent all on their own

And the left won't say a word about this. The left doesn't care when Muslims burn the buildings of others or kill people.
