See, the terrorist have just won.George Bush Jr. was right, we take away freedoms because of threats/fear; the ter'rist win.
According to the radio (news), there is an agreement between this preacher and the head of the Islamic center in NY. According to what I heard, they will move the center, if they do not burn the Koran. This is hard to believe.

This is why you go after the heads, they're the ones that convince young imbeciles that killing oneself is what God wants.I do think it would make a difference eventually as the leaders want to live, they're generally not stupid enough to go on suicide runs. Kill enough of them, they'll be fewer of them to begin with and the would be leaders will be less inclined to lead.
In fact, it works the other way around - it is usually the older heads that try to remain calm, while the young hotheads act impulsively - so your idea will have exactly the opposite effect... 😉

I heard his bank simply bailed on him due to fear the grounds would be severely vandalized by angry Muslims. If that's true its a very bad thing, no matter if you think burning the Koran is horrible or awesome.

1) Go to a serious news website that allows comments, Yahoo is especially good for this.
2) Find an article that uses the word any of the words "Islam", "Islamist" or "Muslim".
3) Read the comments.
That has nothing to do with what I said.
So, are you saying that your commits are just as stupid as people on Yahoo?

More than 70% of the world's population have no access to the internet - so your sample is a bit skewed...

Ok, so, maybe everyone is trying to save face. It would be wonderful if those two issues just fixed themselves.

Muhammed IS the prophet not the follower of one, therefore assumed infallible.
To Muslims him being wrong goes the same as Moses having mixed up God's commandments and was wrong.Although, it is good to point out that Muhammed didn't write anything, being illiterate. He was reciting and someone else wrote it down.
I'm not arguing at the ridiculousness of threats and numerous other Islamic practices. Neither Ramandan, no praying 5 times a day, nor the way of prayer were originally Islamic - those were Arab pagan practices, of which Muhammad was one...
I'm not defending them, but that is the reality of Islam and as long as people think it's just few random people soiling Islam as a religion, there will be problem. Reform must happen within the institution and not only within few people
Conservative evangelical Christianity believes the Bible to be divinely inspired. The believe the apostles and prophets were moved to record the literal words of God...word for word.
Even extremists believe this..hence the fascination with the Bible Code.

I'm betting Middle East would have stayed Judeo-Christian had Islam gone to you first...or maybe not.
If everyone else in the world who has a Quran burns it, I really wouldn't care. I'm not burning my copy, and if anyone tries to burn it, they'll have to answer to Mr. Fisty. Burning the Quran because of 9/11 is like burning the bible on any day a bunch of Christians massacred thousands of people, and that's like every day.
