There's literally dozens of examples of Muslims burning the Bible; google and youtube are your friend. Can you show me the links to "Southern Baptists" killing Muslims over this? Neo Progs always have to bring Christianity into anything bad that a Muslim does. Leftist PC Group Think is rotting your brain.
I don't need a link, dearie. Come down here to South Carolina and I'll introduce you to a number of them, some of them relatives of mine. I grew up Southern Baptist. Some of the Bible-thumping troglodytes openly profess their hatred of Muslims, and from where I sit and watch, you probably couldn't tell them from the Muslims if you wrote down the words of both groupsand translated them into a neutral language.
If you have never been around real Southern Baptists, you shouldn't comment on them.
BTW - I have Muslim friends. When my Father was in te V.A. hospital ten years back, one of the best attendants he had was a Muslim and a gentleman. We are still friends. We have different beliefs, but that doesn't mean a thing.
I think he makes a good point comparing the burning of the quran to burning of the cross (which I am sure you also support). Sure, burn the cross and if someone smacks you in the back of the head with a basball bat, you scream "see, I told you how they are".
So how could they punish him? Not to mention that Jones' "court" has no authority. If Jones tried to sue Mohammed's descendants (who are pretty large in number, Jones himself could be a descendant of Mohammed) any judge would throw it out of court.
The only thing that cost the lives of innocent people were the people who murdered them. When you assert that he is somehow responsible for the violence that a group of Muslims perpetrated you are indeed asserting he's guilty of murder.
Let me put it in terms that even a moral caveman can understand.
1) He knows that if the burns the Qu'ran in public, that someone, somewhere, will be subjected to violence and probably killed as a direct result of his actions. That they are crazy, homocidal barbarians doesn't change the fact that he knows this.
2) He does it anyway, despite pleas from just above everyone with a conscience.

That's preposterous. Muslims are not children or animals that we must protect from criticism lest they react like temper tantrum throwing monkeys. They're grown ups. They have to act like grown ups or they have no right to complaint when we think of them as children and animals.
The only person I see advocating this position is you. Apparently you don't see how it is possible for both the muslims and the pastor to be responsible to a relative degree. That the radical muslims are murderous barbarians doesn't take a thing away from how much of a tool this so-called pastor is.

The pastor's protest is a valid form of protest. He doesn't need absolution.
So, there was no moral choice he made when he decided to do this, knowing full well what the results would be.
Or perhaps worse, got the results he really wanted.
So how could they punish him? Not to mention that Jones' "court" has no authority. If Jones tried to sue Mohammed's descendants (who are pretty large in number, Jones himself could be a descendant of Mohammed) any judge would throw it out of court.
He would not be actually putting Mohammed on trial in a real court just in his church. It would just be another grandiose action for reasons that you would have to ask Jones about.
