I believe in his right to burn anything he wants. What I don't
believe in is making a media event out of it. If the reporters
aren't there, it's only a rumor, right? But trying to prevent
the media from covering it would be about as easy as keeping
him from doing it. So encouraging him not to it is about all
that's left. I left him a note on his web site, before his
domain host took it down.
And when a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to hear it, it
doesn't make a sound.
Muslims burn more bibles each day than Christians have ever burned
Korans.
Bet you can't substantiate that. A little "eye for an eye" make
you feel better?
If the Islamic religion is so fragile that it can't stand up to
being criticized or a book burning or two then it needs to be
questioned.
Asking questions won't solve anything. Sounds like you've never
been out of the country. Customs in other countries are often
a very strange concept to us. Things we take for granted as being
normal can outrage people in other countries. Ever ridden the
train in Japan? It'd probably really **** you off. They don't
believe in "personal space". Don't even attempt to touch a Thai
person on the head. You'll make an instant enemy.
Publicizing it will get Americans killed.
Americans will get killed whether it occurs or not.
More Americans will get killed and it'll be Terry Jones's fault.
It sounds like you're OK with that.
