Petraeus Speaks Out on Quran Burning...

Petraeus Condemns U.S. Church's Plan to Burn Qurans

The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan said the planned burning of Qurans on Sept. 11 by a small Florida church could put the lives of American troops in danger and damage the war effort.

Gen. David Petraeus said the Taliban would exploit the demonstration for propaganda purposes, drumming up anger toward the U.S. and making it harder for allied troops to carry out their mission of protecting Afghan civilians.

"It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort," Gen. Petraeus said in an interview. "It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems. Not just here, but everywhere in the world we are engaged with the Islamic community."

I'm going to celebrate PNAC New Perle Harbor Day by finding a paper copy of the "Patriot Act" and burning it.

a paper copy of the "Patriot Act" and burning it.

The ever expansion of police power in this country and the ever expanding erosion of civil liberties is down right frightening.

And buring the Koran, and giving the Islamic extremists ANOTHER thing to rally around is fucking stupid.

So this church is going to burn Korans on Sept. 11. By doing this, they are only demonstrating that Christianity is just as intolerant of other religions as Islam is. What do they expect to accomplish from this activity? Burning a few books is not going to stop the spread of Islam, so what is the point of it?

What, is that supposed to be a witty comeback?

lmao

[bueno bob]

Well, the notion that Christianity is as intolerant of opposing religions as Islam is shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody who knows the first fucking thing about Christian history. That virus was spread at swordpoint just as much as Islam was...except probably more so.

Well said. You admit Islam is a religion of hate. It's about time!

[Seshmeister]
