"Burn the Quran" day

This is all over the news, of course...

http://www.courierpress.com/news/2010/sep/07/top-us-commander-churchs-plan-burn-quran-endangers/

and it has me thinking along a couple-three lines.

The state department and the military have asked them not to do it, and the weirdo preacher pretty much said "fuck you." Huh? I thought keeping the men and women serving overseas as safe as possible was a primary consideration of the conservatives. This dweeb thinks his "statement" is so important he doesn't give a rat's ass what kind of repercussions it will have for our people in harm's way, or how valuable a recruiting tool it will be for the jihadists. What god is he following anyway?

Next, to burn a Quran, you must actually have one in your hand. Who does? Well, Islamists of course, but I doubt they would be willing to hold a match to one. So where are these books coming from? Is it within the realm of possibility that this event is being co-sponsored by a publishing house?

And then there is this paragraph:

Jones, who runs the small, evangelical Christian church with an anti-Islam philosophy, says he has received more than 100 death threats and has started wearing a .40-caliber pistol strapped to his hip.

This spokesman for the Christian God defines his doctrine as anti (he's preaching hate in the name of the Prince of Peace), and he is packin' heat. I hope to hell he shoots his foot off!

That is about the dumbest thing anyone could ever do.  This man has no clue what he's bringing on the congregation, himself, probably the town, and our troops if he is crazy enough to go through with this idiocy.

  What I want the pastor to do is draw a really big cartoon of Prophet Muhammad doing another man Greek style and show it, in front of his church.  I wonder how many TV channels would have the balls to show it on TV.

  If you're going to piss them off, do it right.  :rotfl:  :rotfl:  Let us :pray: :pope:

Maybe they have the same attitude as the church does that pickets soldier's funerals. So they really don't care if a few more soldiers are killed bacause of their actions.

  If the crazy bastards want to riot and come after us.  Let them.  Have the machine guns ready.  Mortars ready and have some F 18 orbiting overhead with some cluster bombs and send all of the bastards to their 72 virgins.  They surly are running out of them.

Is it still news if nobody watches the coverage?

  Got a question, remember how the ragheads rioted when that newspaper printed cartoon of their Muhammad.  They burn flag, cars tore up the city.

  Well, what would happen if our CIA sent our drones over all  of their cities and dropped really deviated cartoons of Muhammad every weekend for weeks.  Either they would burn up or tear up everything they got or they would quite.

  They were talking to a Navy Seal and ask him what he thought of the Afghanistan people.  He said  "All of the men are terrorist, the boys are going to be terrorist and the women and girls are going to give birth to more terrorist.
