Reporting is not synonymous w/condoning. It may be giving that person his 15 minutes but that's all it's doing. Besides, he's already backed down and has decided not to burn the Quran.

This is truly a catch 22 situation.

The media should have just written this off as one lone idiot, but they didn't in their ever pressing chase for ratings. Screw responsible journalism, we got to get those numbers!

Regardless of WHAT happens with this nutjob, now that it has hit the national and international media, it will be used by the propaganda machine of extreme islam to twist for their own purposes.

I truly wish that someone in the media would pull their heads out of their posterior JUST ONCE......and think before they report. This isn't checkers, guys, this is chess, and the terrorists are about 10 moves ahead.

Just heard on the news that the pastor has agreed not to burn the Quran because the Imam has decided not to go ahead and build the Mosque near ground zero. The pastor is going to New York to meet with the Imam.

Westboro Baptist had to chime in......

Maybe we can kill two birds with one stone?

Maybe someone should burn them.

According to the Imam, there is no such agreement. There may be a meeting but Rauf and the man that the pastor met with said that they intend to go ahead w/building it there as planned.

This is what really sticks in my craw. They are bound and determined to build that Mosque there no matter who it hurts but they expect everyone to be sensitive to their being upset at the burning of the Quran. I still think if you are still doing something that you know will hurt others, it's wrong. They are wrong to build that Mosque there since it hurts so many and that pastor is wrong to burn their Holy book. Both sides need some sensitivity training.

Moff, I agree with you.

Does anybody think our soldiers are going to be
treated any better if there is no Koran burning? I think too much has been
made about how this will affect us or them.

There's already been one death in Afghanistan during demonstrations related to this. That's just one of probably many more that this God-fearing Christian pastor in FL can carry on his shoulders.

What in the world is he trying to prove??? Enough already! This jerk isn't going to change any minds. If they want to build the mosque near ground zero, his actions are not going to stop it. If anything - it will probably make all involved just more determined. My opinion of course..........

This is going to be a counterinsurgency , Psyops and specops nightmare.
Point blank.

There are moderate muslims on the fence and supporting the US who will easily be pushed over to the side of the Taliban.

THanks, Rev.

I have a hard time seeing how this act falls anywhere under Christ's interpretation of the law.
