Bottom line: since the moderates are not speaking out and only the radicals have the microphone, "kill the infidels" and all that bull... they are not going to get much tolerance as they themselves give none.

How's this: would the protests get bigger if instead of burning one Quran they burn 10, 100, 1000, or 10,000? When you start out at maximum shrillness and riot-like behavior, it's tough to go up from there.

How does this book burning -- which I am not supporting -- compare to the beheadings of Daniel Pearl, Nick Berg, and several others? Where's our protests and reaction?

They burn our flag all the time over there -- and the Star of David too. They burn our leaders in effigy. They rioted over cartoons published in Denmark. Maybe this pastor in Florida sees it as a little payback.

The pastor in Florida doesnt care about Jesus, his payback, the Muslims.. he cares about having his 15 minutes of fame and say "look what I can do". Most all churches like his are the same.. absolutely ridiculous to the point where you have to question the sanity of the members. Which is why its been around for 24 years and only has 50 members.

My post to BWS wasnt comparing burning books to beheadings. Not at all. It was about the similarities between Koran burning and Mosque building.

You dont think there was any reaction about beheadings? Dont act like I'm some Muslim apologist because I dont think this pastor should be holding his event. I have zero respect for the Islam religion. I'm quite sure my posts on the subject will confirm that.

The pastor is only doing this for himself, and he is just pouring fuel on a fire that is already very hot to begin with. He's an un-american idiot.

If he cared at all about his supposed message, and this burning meant anything to him.. he wouldnt be making it into a media event.
