Shhhhhhh, we're told. Don't protest the Ground Zero mosque. Don't burn a Koran. It'll imperil the troops. It'll inflame tensions. The "Muslim world" will "explode" if it does not get its way, warns sharia-peddling imam Feisal Abdul Rauf. Pardon my national security-threatening impudence, but when is the "Muslim world" not ready to "explode"? At the risk of provoking the ever-volatile Religion of Perpetual Outrage, let us count the little-noticed and forgotten ways. Just a few months ago in Kashmir, faithful Muslims rioted over what they thought was a mosque depicted on underwear sold by street vendors. The mob shut down businesses and clashed with police over the blasphemous skivvies. But it turned out there was no need for Allah's avengers to get their holy knickers in a bunch. The alleged mosque was actually a building resembling London's St. Paul's Cathedral. A Kashmiri law enforcement official later concluded the protests were "premeditated and organized to vitiate the atmosphere." Indeed, art and graphics have an uncanny way of vitiating the Muslim world's atmosphere. In 1994, Muslims threatened German supermodel Claudia Schiffer with death after she wore a Karl Lagerfeld-designed dress printed with a saying from the Koran. In 1997, outraged Muslims forced Nike to recall 800,000 shoes because they claimed the company's "Air" logo looked like the Arabic script for "Allah." In 1998, another conflagration spread over Unilever's ice cream logo -- which Muslims claimed looked like "Allah" if read upside-down and backward (can't recall what they said it resembled if you viewed it with 3D glasses). Even more explosively, in 2002, an al-Qaida-linked jihadist cell plotted to blow up Bologna, Italy's Church of San Petronio because it displayed a 15th century fresco depicting Mohammed being tormented in the ninth circle of Hell. For years, Muslims had demanded that the art come down. Counterterrorism officials in Europe caught the would-be bombers on tape scouting out the church and exclaiming, "May Allah bring it all down. It will all come down." That same year, Nigerian Muslims stabbed, bludgeoned or burned to death 200 people in protest of the Miss World beauty pageant -- which they considered an affront to Allah. Contest organizers fled out of fear of inflaming further destruction. When Nigerian journalist Isioma Daniel joked that Mohammed would have approved of the pageant and that "in all honesty, he would probably have chosen a wife from among them," her newspaper rushed to print three retractions and apologies in a row. It didn't stop Muslim vigilantes from torching the newspaper's offices. A fatwa was issued on Daniel's life by a Nigerian official in the sharia-ruled state of Zamfara, who declared that "the blood of Isioma Daniel can be shed. It is abiding on all Muslims wherever they are to consider the killing of the writer as a religious duty." Daniel fled to Norway. In 2005, British Muslims got all hot and bothered over a Burger King ice cream cone container whose swirly-texted label resembled, you guessed it, the Arabic script for "Allah." The restaurant chain yanked the product in a panic and prostrated itself before the Muslim world. But the fast-food dessert had already become a handy radical Islamic recruiting tool. Rashad Akhtar, a young British Muslim, told Harper's Magazine how the ice cream caper had inspired him: "Even though it means nothing to some people and may mean nothing to some Muslims in this country, this is my jihad. I'm not going to rest until I find the person who is responsible. I'm going to bring this country down." In 2007, Muslims combusted again in Sudan after an infidel elementary school teacher innocently named a classroom teddy bear "Mohammed." Protesters chanted, "Kill her, kill her by firing squad!" and "No tolerance -- execution!" She was arrested, jailed and faced 40 lashes for blasphemy before being freed after eight days. Not wanting to cause further inflammation, the teacher rushed to apologize: "I have great respect for the Islamic religion and would not knowingly offend anyone, and I am sorry if I caused any distress." And who could forget the global Danish cartoon riots of 2006 (instigated by imams who toured Egypt stoking hysteria with faked anti-Islam comic strips)? From Afghanistan to Egypt to Lebanon to Libya, Pakistan, Turkey and in between, hundreds died under the pretext of protecting Mohammed from Western slight, and brave journalists who stood up to the madness were threatened with beheading. It wasn't really about the cartoons at all, of course. Little-remembered is the fact that Muslim bullies were attempting to pressure Denmark over the International Atomic Energy Agency's decision to report Iran to the UN Security Council for continuing with its nuclear research program. The chairmanship of the council was passing to Denmark at the time. Yes, it was just another in a long line of manufactured Muslim explosions that were, to borrow a useful phrase, "premeditated and organized to vitiate the atmosphere." When everything from sneakers to stuffed animals to comics to frescos to beauty queens to fast-food packaging to undies serves as dry tinder for Allah's avengers, it's a grand farce to feign concern about the recruitment effect of a few burnt Korans in the hands of a two-bit attention-seeker in Florida. The eternal flame of Muslim outrage was lit a long, long time ago.

Sure. We lit it, with a little help from the british. .

This is a great line.
It's kinda like the slavery argument. I wasn't there, nor were my parents, g'parents, and so on....
Who is "we," kimo sabe? You got a mouse in your pocket? I didn't have anything to do with it, nor did my parents or any of my ancestors, at least not to my knowledge.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. Yes it is. Seems they are always pi$$ed about one thing or another.

I never said he was a hero. Personally, I don't believe that anyone should burn something that someone else considers sacred. Do I believe the Koran is sacred? NO! And I don't believe Mohammad was a true prophet of God either. But there are something more than a billion or billion and a half people who have been brainwashed into believing he was. But let me ask you this. Do you think the military was correct, or that it was right, for them to burn the Bibles that had been sent to Afghanistan? I say that Obama and the leaders of the military are a bunch of hypocrites, decrying any action that will "inflame" people whose fuse is always lit anyway and, at the same time, deliberately insulting Christians by burning what we believe is sacred.

Having the right to do something doesn't automatically make it the right thing to do. No one should consider building a mosque anywhere near where the World Trade Center was and no one should burn Korans. There are at least two reasons for that, neither of which has anything to do with insulting Muslims (although no one should go out of their way to insult others). One reason that no one should burn a Koran is because they shouldn't buy one of them in the first place. If you don't believe in something why would you buy it and give your money to people who publish what is abhorrent to you? They will use your money and print more of them. Another reason is that you shouldn't steal someone else's book and burn it. Seems those are the options if you want to burn one, buy one or steal one. Neither would be the right thing for a Christian to do (imo).

What would REALLY be insulting is if they did it with Muslim money.

True. I got on someones case today for using "we", and then I go ahead and do it myself. .

You can say the same things about all the so-called christians. It's not just muslims that are violent. People respond to what they are taught. When you have bad teachings from people that have no business teaching anyone anything, but they use their pulpits for gaining power, you will have bad actions. I"ve learned that most are way too lazy to think for themselves. They'd rather have others do their thinking for them. I think that is a damn near universal trait. Them handing Palestine over to the kikes was like throwing gas on a fire though, imo. .

Muslims = spoiled fucking brats. "Mustn't upset the babies, they'll get angry and fall down on the ground in a screaming fit of anger if they don't get their way!" Fuck every human being on this planet who enables their bullshit. Damn their ruinous death-cult, and death to every fucking muslim who crawls along to bite the ankles of Westerners. I hate them worse than the whiny jews their lunacy mimics. To any random muslim who stumbles across this forum and see's this picture of their precious Koran being desecrated: FUCKING OINK, YOU MISERABLE BASTARD/BITCH!!! __________________________________________________________ I'm not defending any faith, simply pointing out that Muslims being violent and irrational doesn't depend on there being a Jewish state.

If people woke up tomorrow and there were no Jews the Arabs would fight amongst themselves. And if there were no Jews they would spend all their free time, when they weren't killing each other, devising ways to kill Christians and everyone else they think of as infidels.

Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. Exactly correct. I've stated similar myself about "white nationalism". Sure, we can all be solidified now, in a multi-culti society, but if we took away all races but those of European extraction, suddenly I'd become a "Jock-Limey", my neighbor would be a Dego, my boss would be a "Kraut" and various co-workers would be "Micks" and we'd all be dissing each other left and right. Conflict seems built into human nature.

Exactly. Covetousness, envy and greed drive some people around the bend, even to the point of murder. Sad but true.

Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic. I understand that, but it's people that are violent and irrational. I'm trying to see the bigger picture here. It's not limited to a religion or religions. If the people that claim to take their religion seriously actually did so, then there would be less violence, not more. Religions are fine, right up until the time that they start looking for converts. Then all hell breaks loose. Speaking about christians, they think they have to go out and preach the gospel, to "win them for the lord". They don't even know what that means. To them, the gospel means to believe as they do or their creator will torture them in real fire for countless trillions of centuries, all because they did something trivial like steal a piece of firewood or tried to look up some womans skirt. The people they try and convert see the stupidity of that, but the christians sure as "hell" don't. If people just left others alone... That's all it takes. .

I'm totally on your page bro. If you take true Christianity at its core, it's the best damned religion out there, totally peaceful, totally anti-government, totally how I'd like to live. But real life, alas, and people, tend to mess it up. Quite a shame really, because if a religion can't convince people to do right and be good, there's no way my pittance of a political philosophy has a snowball's chance in hell. :( Not that I'm going to stop trying. Ever forward! :)

You may not. Some of them actually do. All that is required of a Christian is to witness to others to the best of his (or her) ability. Not browbeat anyone or try to "make" them accept because that isn't how it works. Jesus never told the disciples to force anyone to become believers. He sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he also said, whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. Your testimony to others is like seed you plant. But if you do that to the best of your ability that is all that is expected. God knows our weaknesses and that we are not perfect and none of us will reach everyone we would like to.

You're right, imo. Now, now many do that? You can watch or listen to any preacher, Billy Graham was an excellent example, and see the psychological tricks and outright lies that they use. Jesus never converted anyone while He was here, and yet today people think they can do what Christ never did. I guess they think Christ was incompetent and they know how to get the job done. And you will not get far with the nonsense they preach. They dont preach the gospel of the kingdom. To them, the gospel is good news for very few, and horrible news for very many. And they wonder why they meet resistance. Go figure. Its better to leave them alone than lead them astray. .

Burning a koran, and announcing you are going to do it ahead of time and making a spectacle out of it is a deliberate insult to Muslims. Sure, it is taking a bit of their outrage and turning it to one's own ends, that is, to prevent the building of a mosque that anyone with a half-assed understanding of the First Amendment would agree the muzzies have every right to build; but it is also profoundly reckless.
