I'll give you one to get started: ask General Petraeus. His concerns are entirely practical and logical.

Tell me how they aren't, or how he's actually a Mooslim double agent, or whatever...

Don't go there, dude. The comparison you're trying to make is flawed.

We have Muslim allies in Afghanistan. How is alienating them serving anyone's purpose?

This guy is no pioneer. He a self-serving hack who likes seeing his name in the papers.

Do we? Do they know that? They sure don't always act like it.

Shockingly, it's neither all one way or the other, but somewhere in between.

Again with the binary thinking!

I know what his motives are by his actions.

And how would burning a holy book NOT alienate our Muslim allies?

And all the stuff they do, like beheading innocents, killing Christians over religion, burning the American flag, constantly calling for the destruction of America, etc....... Isn't alienating US from them? They need to think before they demand anything. The only thing I'd give them on demand was a bullet to munch on.

If it does, then they aren't worth Shyt. That only means that they will protect the Koran and it's beliefs over EVERYTHING else.

About what? Being sensitive to those asswipes? I couldn't care any less about any of them if they think they can just demand respect while they kill innocent people.

Do we really have muslim allies? They don't always act like it. Maybe they ought to tell their muslim brothers to knock off the crap.
