[Disclaimer]

I think the only fair thing to do is burn ALL the holy texts, that way none of the various religious zealots feel left out.

[jagr]

Do they haz marshmallows?

Probably be more effective to download as many Qur'ans as they can afford onto a Kindle -- then burn the Kindle.

[magley64]

I'm gonna pull a glenn beck...

remember another group of people who burned religious books?

NAZI'S!

Rev. Jones kinda looks like hitler, too

I think it lacks class' date=' but it's protected by the 1st Amendment... so let the good times roll, I guess. [/quote']

Here are my thoughts:

I wouldn't do it. But, the 1st Amendment guarantees them the right to do it.

They burn the American flag and the Holy Bible when ever someone here farts.

If it puts troops' lives at risk, then the military/government should do something about it (IE: get them the fuck out of there).

Umm I like it

[shittygsxr]

The matter at hand is not his freedom of speech but his freedom to be an ignorant hillbilly

[SAMBUSA]

Stupidity at its finest

You stay classy Florida.

You stay classy Florida.

We are talking about the same state that couldn't figure out the voting machines.

My thought: Why is this news? Bring me one and I'll burn it. No one should care.

[cOoTeR]

I agree.

[Vulcan_Rider]

I dont think it is a good idea but oh well it is legal.

The thing about it that annoys me is that the only reason this is getting so much attention is that he is doing it on 9/11. Notice not once did he mention 9/11 as a reason for doing it just the fact that he is incredibly ignorant when it comes to Islam and because of that he wants to kill it with fire.

[max power]

Let them burn it if it makes them feel better. If it riles the muslims, Bonus.

[Cdubyah]

Burning a religious book in the name of another god sounds like hatred to me. I don't remember learning any of that when I was younger.

Not all Muslim's are religious zealots, and full of hatred.

But "they" aren't the target of the Qu'ran burning. The book burning is targeting Americans, not foreigners in the Middle East.

[Steve Butters]

i think this is awesome....

there is no difference between them building their community center near ground zero, and us burning their religious book

both are in poor taste, and both are fully legal.....i guess why have one without the other? they want the burning to be stopped, yet they have no problem with their community center going up....talk about double standards

LOL....Muslims have a very worldly mentality....you cant just target one group of them....if this burning happens, it will be worldwide outrage...guaranteed

[that dude]

Burn em at proposed site of the center. I wipe my ass with their flags
