I'm sure you've all heard of the Florida pastor who, along with his church has dubbed 9/11 "Burn a Koran Day" despite threats and endless scorn from people around the world, including those from his own congregation.

I personally think this guy is a total intolerant, ass-faced TOOL who wouldn't know his a** from his elbow.
However, there are images shown all the time of Middle Easterns burning the American flag, Bibles and pictures of G.W. Bush, for them to get SO heated, I find ridiculous.

I guess now that the shoe is on the other foot it stings a little.

What do you think?

You betcha it's hypocritical! They love the feeling of control; his point is in part to show them that they haven't any. - His words. Can't say I disagree with his reasoning.

As I mentioned in the thread about the book burning, a lot of these protests in Muslim/Middle Eastern countries are often orchestrated by the authorities.

That's not to say there isn't genuine dislike, but it's often the case that personal opinion isn't an option.

I doubt the same is true of Americans, even with the media involved, which really raises a question mark somewhere along the way in the case of this Church in Florida.

the muslims here in the usa don't burn books.
they are just like any other person with a religious belief.
and if nut jobs wanna try shooting a soldier for what some nut tool is doing in florida.
i hope all soldiers have a right to fire back.
even the comedy channel is afraid to make fun of muslims.

If that were true, there would be talk of more churches participating in the 9/11 Koran burning all across the country. Wouldn't there?
