THAT is the question.

Stop pandering to Islamic insanity. If you don't, you will find it has NO END. Are you willing to find out how far it goes?
I'm gonna try this again.....I'm irate at Pastor Jones and his narcissism.
I'm not pandering to anything.

If I were going to burn a Koran, I would do so privately and not advertise it on the internet.

I'm gonna try this again too - why are you irate at Pastor Jones? Shouldn't your ire be reserved for the Islamic crazies who just murdered TWENTY INNOCENT PEOPLE?

I swear, if you represent the majority, then the world is lost to Islam.

A book being burned is absolutely no excuse to kill people. Come on. There is no excuse for this.

Are you just being deliberately obtuse here?
Do you understand just what the term "cause and effect" means?
Get off your soapbox for a moment and consider that.

The fact is, these people had a choice. No one had to die over a burned book. They decided to use violence.

If someone walked down the street wearing a satanic t-shirt, and a christian beat them to a pulp, is it their fault for wearing the shirt?

Can American killers now get out of jail on the grounds that someone somewhere was burning a book they didn't like? Or it is only Muslims who get to make such idiotic excuses for murder?

All you who misplace your anger by focusing on those who do things that stir up the Muslims -- you are playing directly into their hands. That is exactly the sort of cowering response they want you to have. Do you feel good about yourselves now?

Every time a Muslim commits a violent act, we should burn something even bigger of theirs, like a city. Then a country. Why piddle around with a stupid book?
Heh, well I hope I'm not one of those you are actually calling a coward since I was one of those who just said that people need to be aware of how their actions could create excuses for these kind of people to cause even further violence. Especially considering I'm someone who is going to be deploying there soon to potentially get in direct contact with these kind of people. I don't cower from them by any means, however I also don't see the point in doing things that will only instigate them when "you" aren't the ones having to deal with the fallout said actions could create unlike us troops and others who are actually over there.
