I agree, we can't pick and choose.
The one thing that CAN be done is a media blackout.
If no one went and no one reported on it, filmed it or wrote about it, it hardly happened did it?

I would like the post narrative to read something like this:


"Americans stand against,protest and stop burning of holy book"

or

"American`s outrage ends church`s bid to burn Koran."

or

"Pastor reconsiders after learning of direct danger to troops in field."

To Archer
Just like the "pastor" is aware that he`s putting our soldiers lives in further danger,you are also aware that you don`t "risk the retaliation" of his stupidity.
Our GI`s have been asked to do enough without having to deal with this shit too.
This is the equivalent of screaming fire in a crowded theater.
Not an expression of freedom but rather a deliberate act done to cause damage and injury.

The flooding victims are Pakistanis, though: they're Muslims, so they must deserve it. Who gives a shit?

USA Today reported that Jones said in an interview he had not been contacted by the White House, State Department or Pentagon. If such a call comes, he said, "that would cause us to definitely think it over. That's what we're doing now. I don't think a call from them is something we would ignore."

This makes NO sense to me.  At what point have we decreed these groups to be the decider of ethics?  And would if have to be President Obama?  OR would VP Biden do?  What about one of his local congress-people?  A local National Guard Armory?  Military Recruiting Center?  Instead of the State Department what about one from the Consul of Zimbabwe? 


As far as the comparison to flag-burning goes, as I recall from my lessons in the care and feeding of the US Flag, you are SUPPOSED to burn it.

What a fucking backward,ignorant adult child!

It`s obvious now that he knows why he shouldn`t do this.

So he needs to be salved and catered to in order to do the right thing?

Very sad.

Yep, rather than cutting it up and using it to patch your jeans or wash your windows.
Mind you, there's eeevil mooslem fundies who think that translations of the Koran into languages other than Arabic should all be burned as well. No where the fuck was this cretin going to find an untranslated Koran in Florida?

The First Amendment that protects this jackass, also protects the mosque being built as a great middle finger to Americans, and protects the feeding frenzy in the press. Learn to love it.

I hope it rains. I hope it rains really, really, hard.

Barnes and Noble.  They have Arabic version with the English translations.  Where you do the page by page.  They probably can order some just Arabic ones in.  Or. . . find the Islamic equivalent of the Gideon's and ask for some? 

Oh. . . you can probably pick them up really easily at a college or university book store.
