PEOPLE FROM THIS WHACKO CHURCH MIGHT BE FIGHTING NEXT TO HIM! this is why i hate church. people like this could go all their life and never get it. if you believe in christ...he let people nail him to a cross! YOU DON'T THINK GOD COULD OF WIPED US OUT WITH A BLINK OF THE EYE? AND A YOU ARE AFRAID OF MIKE TYSON. people ignore the parts that are hard to live by...thats why church sucks. if you truly believe in God there are worse things than dying....like what happens after...thats why you should live right first whether it gets you killed or not....just like christ did. do you really think a man that came from God had to let himself be nailed to a cross by us? i know most of what i said goes right over most of your heads.....lol

I think you're missing my point -- the Mike Tyson remark was a way to illustrate that they don't seem to factor in the consequences of what they do. If they burn enough American flags or Bibles or effigy's, it's natural that somebody, someday in America will get the idea to burn something the Muslims hold sacred.

More directly, if they attack the American Army and we decide to change our rules of engagement from "Do not engage the mosque" to "If the enemy runs into ANY structure, destroy it.", well then, that's the breaks. What are they going to do when we decide not to fight with one hand tied behind our back, as we have done in every battle since World War II?

By the way, I only realized later that Tyson himself had converted to Islam a few years back. Substitute the name of any strong and renound fighter and the principle still holds.
