Hitler was bad because he killed millions of people. Not because of his immigration policies. I disagree with Mises frequently, but the whole calling anyone who challenges liberal orthodoxy "hitler" is getting played out. Esp when he specificly said when "X" ethnicity is in country they should be treated the same.

Pastor Jones should be denounced for his plans to burn copies of the Qur�an. His plan is �disrespectful, divisive and disgraceful.� It is clearly an intolerant act that has no place in a civilized society. He should as Professor Obama said, "listen to better angels."

However, Pastor Jones has the constitutional right to burn his Qur�ans no matter how disdainful his actions may be. That is if he obeys the local fire regulations which I assume he will.

In a similar way, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf has the constitutional right to build a mosque near the site of Ground Zero. The first amendment protects his right to do so as we were so elegantly informed of by Professor Obama. This right is his absolutely regardless of the fact that Imam Rauf has claimed that �Osama Bin Laden was made in America� or by his refusal to agree with the American State Department that Hamas is a terrorist organization. Although in his recent fund raising junket to the ME Rauf has been financed by the American taxpayers.

Imam Rauf�s plans can go ahead even though something like seventy percent of Americans are opposed to having a fifteen story mosque build near the site of the biggest attack on American soil since Pearl Harbour. Need he be reminded that the attackers were motivated by verses in the Qu'ran. Can we honestly believe that Imam Rauf�s plans to build a mosque at Ground Zero are intended to build bridges with the Americans who lost family members on 9/11? Or, is the Imam acting on the behest of Middle Eastern nations, including Iran who will no doubt be asked for contributions?

Pastor Jones and Imam Rauf should both be condemned as intolerant and insensitive. Burning Qu�rans is hurtful, pure and simple but so is building a mosque at the site where so many were murdered in the name of Islam and with the support of Qu'ranic verses. Our political betters, especially the good Professor Obama, should recognize that sensitivity cuts both ways.

Several postings have been deleted for being off-topic and discussing religion. To the extent this thread continues to focus on the topic as a non-religious one, it will continue to be available.

To the extent that it begins to focus on religion, it will disappear.

Seems the pastor didn't have the fire in him

Another example of the Western world being afraid of Islam. Marvellous. South Park totally nailed it in their 200/201 episodes.

Looks like everyone got what they wanted - the weak west's submission! Sure glad that's over, so that moderate islam can get back to its regular enforcement schedule:

Another commentator made a funny on another webpage when he said it could be basically condensed to to this:

"We will burn the koran because we believe that Islam is a violent religion, vs We will protest and riot (possibly kill people) if you burn the Koran".

Personally, I don't think they even needed to touch the Quaran, the media provided multiple examples of people who are so worked up over an issue that they pledge to kill someone over it or explain that someone else will kill in thier name.

The Bible has been burnt a number of times before, in one case in india, people just burnt a missionary and his two sons in thier car - that made sure they got the bible.

I feel that for extremists, we should not give them a reason. I would never have known or cared that a person existed in the states that would burn a book if the media hadn't told me.

The media is just as responsible for incitement of violence as the Pastor of the church is.

I wonder if the Islamic world gets as worked up about the Saudi policy of incinerating the Bible at its airports and providing a curriculum which is extremely hateful toward other relgions and the apostasy laws which are a feature of largely Islamic countries.The Islamic community demands a level of respect that it is often unprepared to extend to other faiths itself. This is better know as hypocrisy, and irrespective of the fact that the pastor is a fool, the west should recognise the double standards at work here and stop acting in such a subserviant way.
