Florida Pastor Terry Jones Burns Quran After Mock Trial (w/ video)

Thanks for pointing out why Afghanistan is the earth's butthole.

 

You are justifying blaming the idiot pastor. Just like the same cadre futilely tried to justify blaming the danish cartoonist.

An overreaction from a group of intolerant nutjobs regarding some form of speech does not impart any blame on the entity performing said speech. Precisely the opposite actually. That you and others cannot grasp this concept is well documented and boring to debate further.

Good day.

 

I keep thinking of the stereotypical wife beater who knocks his wife's teeth out and then says, while she writhes on the floor, "now look what you made me do!!"

 

Threads like these make me appreciate America so much.

 

We have a lot of blood on our hands too.

 

Did I miss an Animal House reference? Which post (so I can rep accordingly)? I really don't want to search this abortion of a thread to find it if I don't have to...

TIA

 

In Extremist Afghanistan, Koran burns you!

It's not earth's butthole - a persons butthole doesn't hear something on the internet it doesn't like and then go murder as many people as possible. It just farts and poops.

 

LOL.... perfect!

 

It is important, however, not to generalize - lest you look the fool, as Greenwald points out.

 

So the only form of intolerance is beheading?

Burning the Koran knowing it would result in violence against U.N. workers is pretty sick.

Politicians say you should never criticize soldiers at war as it would lower moral when they are in harm's way.

But it's ok to burn the Koran and incite violence? Why burn the Koran?

How would people feel if someone burned a statue of Jesus here in the U.S.? No one would ever think to do that. Muslim, Christian, Atheist.

Yes we have free speech, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't condemn hate.

This pastor fellow is a vile creature.

 

No, but you said that he is just as intolerant as the Taliban. So you seem to think that burning a book = beheading someone?

The violence against U.N. workers came from Islamists. They were incited by hate-preaching imams in Afghanistan.

The violence was incited by the hate-preaching imams in Afghanistan.

ORLY? Crosses and bibles get burned all the time.

Have you condemned the hate preachers in Afghanistan who had a much more immediate impact on the violence and murders that happened?

 

The approach you take with the ****faced pastor is to ignore him rather than build him up as some credible agent of persecution. The act itself wasn't ****ing news. It was made to be news by some ****less money grubbing producer. It didn't generate the views or attention until it was reported.

Then again, I felt entitled to give my 2 cents, so +1 bump by me.

 

Afghanistan is stuck in the 18th century. These people have a life expectancy of 40 years old and have witnessed war for about as long as they have lived. Their value on human life is probably related to their circumstances. These protests weren't simply about the burning of the book, it was probably just gasoline to a fire already burning. I'm assuming being occupied by foreigners had much to do with it. These barbarians need to be left alone........that's the only way they will progress as a society. I can't see why anyone should blame the pastor for anything wrong, he should be able to do anything he wants without it leading to some random peoples death. He is an idiot, but he's not responsible for those deaths.

 

Nope. You seem to be trying to put words in my mouth. Beheading someone isn't intolerance. It's cruel violence. Do you understand the difference???? I guess not. Tolerance is about accepting others views and respect those that you disagree with. It's not about violence or the law, it's not about the action, it's about the vocalization. The Taliban reject any other religion just as this idiot rejects Islam. Do you understand what the definition of religious intolerance is now?

I think you need to learn what the word "incite" means.

A "V" sign in America means victory. When Bush flashed the "V" in Australia it actually means "F you" or "up yours". The point is that different acts mean different things to different people.

You have asked two questions in one here - a very dishonest thing to do. I have condemned the hate preachers in Afghanistan. I do not agree they had more immediate impact on the violence and murders that happened.

It's impossible to debate with you - you spin and twist to no end. You are disingenuous in your arguments and you try to trap people into things by asking questions that state your opinion within them. You need to stick with the actual definition of words instead of trying to be a crass politician or a fox news anchor.

 

Goodness, you are dumb.

 

Not exactly:

In any case, it doesn't really matter, as long as you get the point I'm trying to make. Speech/expression is limited in some way everywhere, no one is completely free to say absolutely anything, and you would have to be blind to believe otherwise.

Obviously you would be offended, and that's no reason to kill.

 

Yes, exactly. Stop trying to be a smartass about things you obviously have no clue about.

The point you are trying to make does not matter. You do not understand the concept of free speech. You keep embarrassing yourself.
