Top US commander: Burning Quran endangers troops

[Chogy]

And again, you CANNOT connect the actions of a minute few to an entire nation. In the same way Muslims say "Those hijackers on 9/11 don't represent us", are we not allowed the same courtesy?

 

[lioneern]

aahhh freedom of speech where it is when it comes to Holocaust denial

Book burning , flag burning is protected speech under the US constitution .

 

[DESERT FIGHTER]

Hey lioneern can u stand infront of ground zero and say DAMN IT LOOKS GOOD? without being sued?
Or say God bless hitler and deny Halloucaust ?
Go to vetican or israel burn a torah or bible?

Ever see a mosque burning bible or torah?drawing hate filled cartoons of jesus or moses?

these guys are sickening but no one in muslim world protest these idiots, they come out of woodwork only when one crazy weirdo does some crazy thing. Blaming entire US media for an act of one church.. how convenient

Its always the west the problem.. Do you guys even have Idea how many Qurans end up in gutters of Pakistan? the very holy book, for profit making publishers in pakistan use low quality paper....

 

[nightcrawler]

An equivalent scenario would be a remote Madrassas with 25 students burning a pile of Bibles. How you would link those 25 with a Billion Muslims worldwide is a leap of logic I don't quite understand.

Problem is Chogy that we(Muslims) even dare not harm a single copy of Bible. Hope you understand our religion

 

[TOPGUN]

This is uncalled for and a shameful unhuman act... burning someone holy book of GOD ... jerks.

How do you know it is one crazy weirdo ? He just maybe the tip of the iceberg ? For one weirdo, there are probably 1000 dormant ones. What I just wrote is the standard arguments used by the right wing in US.

BTW stay on the topic. No need to go wild goose chasing.

If they burn The Quran, I don't have a problem with it. An act of burning does not cause a "disturbance in my force!"

Off-course media will show it over and over, which will cause disturbance in the Force in different parts of the world. Then media will show that disturbance over and over, you get the point ?

It is not illegal to burn any 'holy' book nor to be a jerk.

One protests only when it suits oneself.

By the way, lemme ask to whomsoever may bother to reply.

It is a free country.

WHAT ON EARTH will happen even if some jerk burns a quran or bible or whatever?

Isn't god/allah supposed to be all merciful and all knowing?

So be it! Let god do the job of punishing thise jerks. Why should any mortal do that for god?

Can't god take care of himself?

 

[gambit]

Hey lioneern can u stand infront of ground zero and say DAMN IT LOOKS GOOD? without being sued?

Yes...You can say that without legal repercussions.

Or say God bless hitler and deny Halloucaust ?

Yes...In the US you can do both.

Go to vetican or israel burn a torah or bible?

You need to take it up with the Vatican, which is a sovereign state inside Italy, regarding burning a Bible. And take it up with Israel, another sovereign state, regarding burning the Torah. But in the US, you can burn both without legal repercussions.

Ever see a mosque burning bible or torah?drawing hate filled cartoons of jesus or moses?

Does not mean someone is preventing any muslim from burning those 'holy' books or make offensive cartoons of Jesus or Moses.

One picture at the tail end of this photo essay was of a mother in Arlington Cemetery, and she had her head on the headstone of her son's grave. And as the picture focused in, you could see the writing on the headstone. And it gave his awards -- Purple Heart, Bronze Star -- showed that he died in Iraq, gave his date of birth, date of death. He was 20 years old. And then, at the very top of the headstone, it didn't have a Christian cross, it didn't have the Star of David, it had crescent and a star of the Islamic faith.

And his name was Kareem Rashad Sultan Khan, and he was an American. He was born in New Jersey. He was 14 years old at the time of 9/11, and he waited until he can go serve his country, and he gave his life.

I wonder what Mr Khans mother thinks about her son dying for the "freedom" for someone to burn the quran?

mr. vietnamese if its not illegal in us to burn holy book, would it be ok to bring down a church in non kafiristan state, saying its not illegal to bring down a church under the pretext of land owned to state or so..

Height of Stupidity "it is not illegal to burn a holy book implying even burn bible have fun and teach the young generation the national pride of burning books"

If it is legal to burn churches or synagogues in a muslim country, then I guess it is 'ok' for the muslims in that country to burn down churches or synagogues.

But if some country make it legal to burn Church.... Guarantee us you wont come to liberate us and to bring democracy in the country.

Meaningless. There are already persecuted minorities in the ME. Their houses of worships are therefore -- irrelevant. So burn away.
