In other news, bibles are burned whenever found in Afghanistan: no one cares.

The pages of those free Gideon Bibles make passable rolling papers in a pinch.

I'm pretty sure the smoke from burning ink or toner is hardcore bad for you.
Rolling papers also use a special kind of paper that smokes less than paper used for books.
Rolling papers also contain a lot fewer chemicals that can be released through heating and burning. Books are never intended to burn, so no effort is put into make the smoke less toxic.

Well it seemed like a good idea at the time.

tru dat. My friends and I used regular computer paper (bond paper) to roll cigarettes since tinned tobacco was all we had at the time. Computer paper is probably 10x thicker than rolling paper. It made so much black smoke that it was basically impossible to smoke it without coughing up a lung. I can see why people use pipes.

More left-wing double-standards towards Islam. If someone suggests profiling at airports, they say that the terrorists win if we limit our freedoms. If someone suggests exercising anti-Islam free speech, they say, "think of the soldiers."

And what does it say about the Muslim world that such a minor American group can trigger protests? Maybe they aren't as moderate as everyone suggests?

Finally, the Muslim haters are still going to hate us even if this book burning doesn't go forward. If we really want to make them happy, we can all convert to Islam. Historically, that's what it takes to get on Islam's good side.

The most important part of the wars is winning hearts and minds OF MUSLIMS. You don't see how it's stupid to make them think America hates their religion and considers them all enemies?

You don't see how it's stupid to invade their land and kill their people in an effort to win hearts and minds?

Look at the UN Human Rights thread. It's impossible for a lot of Americans to even imagine that there could be humanitarians from a country like Saudi Arabia or China.
You want to fit everybody into nice little packages and arrange them on a neat shelf in your brain. Maybe because of lack of space?
The real world just isn't like that. It's not a left-wing right-wing thing.

The war effort LOL . Your kidding right , This isn't a just war . NO war is just , No war is indorsed by GOD . The Jews and Muslims both claim Gods authority to make war just like the POPE . But its a 100% LIE! GOD doesn't want anything from us but our love and to serve him Nothing more nothing less . If God wants an enemy killed God can handle that job just fine or he isn't God . HOLY MEN are freaken liars Biggest liars the world have ever known .

So I guess that God loves Al Qaeda and the Taliban, since he hasn't taken them out.

I don't know, having some Christian nuts running around burning copies of the Koran seems pretty harmless when compared to the kidnapping, torturing/ killing, and/or beheading that the radical muslims do to people who aren't afraid to speak their minds.

I'd say there are clearly a lot of people on both sides who need to grow up, but one side more then the other.

We're supposed to BE grown up. We aren't a band of terrorists hiding in the caves of Afghanistan/Pakistan, we're Americans.

 

[piasabird]

Then maybe we should not have soldiers in Afghanistan???

 

[Patranus]

Stop burning the American flag and shouting death to America, people will stop burning the Quran.

Why are you generalizing about Americans? If you don't do it for Muslims don't do it for Americans.

 

[Nemesis 1]

Are you sure you read the bible? There are lots of times where God explicitly says to start a war against a certain group.

Yes I know. There is were I have a problem with scripture. The GOD of Moses DID his OWN Killing. Moses never lead any army. Moses never set foot on this land of endless torment, Moses only killed his allegded people after Aron, out of gold did form a calf . And upon seeing it Moses did go insane for Moses represented the New age the age of the Rams horn . For Moses did destroy the tablets befor the Lord gave them the LAW. So Moses acted with terriable killings befor the LAW was KNown. 1 of the reasons he never set foot on that bloody ground.

Point is The God of Moses did infact do his own killing and God did manifest its power.

In old testment Holy Men say God talk to them and tell man to make war . I just plain don't believe thats the God of Moses I believe Its one of the Watchers thats in the now removed from scripture Book of Enoch. All three major scripture removed the book of enoch because it sounded to far out or was it because the truth would change the balance of power and religion would have suffered great because the truth will set you free.

The watchers are those who make war there here now and they were here back when.
If you except scripture and read Enoch knowing what we as a people know Enoch is the only Book that makes sense. and explains much . Weres as all other works seem to have fairy dust spead all over them.

Generalizing people to a higher standard is not the same as the opposite.

It's still inconsistent. Unless you're one of those people that thinks affirmative discrimination is not discrimination.

Err what? That was a comment from right field. It is not inconsistent to always generalize people to a higher standard. Get a clue.

Exactly, they want to be violent assholes, we'll show them what violent assholes look like. Nobody beats us to the bottom of the sewer. We are Kings of stupidity, hate, and slime. And don't forget it. Nobody is going to out hate ourselves better than us. Fuck General P and the US military. We are Gods warriors and are going to heaven, asshole heaven. It has the best stink.

 

[pcgeek11]

I hate to be the one to say it, but:

He has as much right to burn the Quran as the Muslims have to build their Mosque near the site of 09/11.

I don't agree with doing either one, both are in really poor taste and only serves to stir up trouble for everyone.

Quoted for truth. Granted it's a childish and stupid thing to do, but blaming Islamic violence on this is no different from a man telling his wife it's her own fault he has to beat her.

Good to see Nemesis back, BTW.

 

[bfdd]

I really don't care if they burn a religious book, and I'm not offended in the least. I would just prefer that if a religious organization were to go to an extreme like this that they would not single out any one religious document/book. That's hypocrisy.

no it isn't.

 

[JohnOfSheffield]

These people care nothing about their fellow Christians, mainly those in the military who will feel the repercussions from this through all the violence it incites. Their ONLY goal is to draw attention to their piss ant little church, they are simply trying to one up Phelps and his band of nut bags, if they REALLY cared about their fellow Christians and the message that Christianity allegedly promotes, they would not do this.

They are no better than those that pervert Islam for a twisted agenda.

As a soldier in this exact field at this time i disagree, fuck them, kill them all, round them up into concentration camps and gas the hell out of them, not only here, they are ALL responsible, every single one, they don't apologise all the time so they ARE guilty, kill them all and make Christ happy!

In reality, we don't really give a shit, we don't have your ROE bullsheit, we are never attacked, we couldn't really care less about your shitsforbrains politics, religion or anything else you have to offer....

We go first and we leave last, we don't discriminate.

Now just eliminate all of this religious bullsheit... all gone, better off.

Nemesis is insane in a way that not many people can be while still being alive, it takes a special man to get that high on morphine while sniffing glue.

Tell you what. Let's send the pastor and his flock off to Afghanistan, let them fight it out with the Taliban and AlQ. If they want to turn this into a holy war, let them fight it.

They're just as nuts as the people they hate.

Burning books is as bad as killing people who mock your religion?

You do realize that saying generalizing is only okay if it's used to compliment or for a higher standard is irrational right? Rational people apply the same rules whether or not the outcome is unpleasant or not. But hey, go ahead and be an emotional thinker.
