#1 Another reason America split from the Euros over a hundred years ago and why today's ruling class desperately wants to drag America back into that fold.

#3 This just kills me. Since when does a Koran represent anyones race.

#4 I don't know, it sounds like England has been conquered from within and is occupied land at this time. However, I would like to think of England as free but...there is the islamist threat there as there is here.

#5 A large chunk of the population appears to be afraid of the Muslims, another large chunk is afraid of being perceived as racist so they buy into PC nonsense. Another group just hates Western Civilization (many born as part of Western Civilization).

The last chunk is getting pissed off at it all and its only a matter of time until they really start to be heard. Hopefully at the ballot box in a wave of sanity.

#6 There are two indicators I use to figure out, instantly, who is an idiot:

1) Denying the Holocaust
2) Burning books

Do either of those and I have you pegged.

These six men are idiots.

I'm not a Muslim. I'm no fan of Islamicism. But burning another man's holy book is idiocy.

#7 Idiocy maybe, criminal behavior.... doubtful, unless we now accept Sharia law.

#10 The police just totally lost my support.

Dial 999? I don't think so. If I see a crime happening, it's vigilant all the way from now on.

Mein Kampf and the Little Red Book have been the holy book for millions.

#12  “good community relations” according to the book the “racists” burned …

[9.29] Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.

[5.51] O you who believe! do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends; they are friends of each other; and whoever amongst you takes them for a friend, then surely he is one of them; surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.

#13 @ #12 Mullah Lodabullah -
Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the light. Whoever doth not know me as their savior cannot enter heaven".
Please know this.
Allah = submission.
Jesus = Love
Muslims are following the moon god.
And breaking the 10th commandment
It's never too late to wake up and desire to be saved.
May God bless you.

Since this "holy book" says that I'm a son of a monkey and a pig and shouldn't exist, I can't afford your fine sentiments. Neither can you.

#15 TO Gromgoru and Steve White

I think that burning a book in order to supress its iodeas is both silly and counterproductive: except for career officers about hamf of the purest of the purest Free French, those who took that path in 1940 had read Mein Kampf. I think WOT would be far clmoser to be won if everybody in Dar el Hard and specially in America had read the Koran. But those people are not trying to remove the Koran from the face of the earth, what they are doing is pushing back against those who spit, sh.t and pee on _our_ holy books, be it the Bible or the Declaration of Independence (all men created equal, endowed to certain rights life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness

#16 JFM, I have read it, I have studied it, and I have seen how the holy leaders have told their followers to implement it. You my friend are simply wrong on this one. The book is a book of hate, not a holy book. Why is it the bible is outlawed in the Islam world, one answer-the Koran tell them to. Why is it hundreds of bibles were burned is Iran just last week, because they are following the Writtings of the Koran. So when someone gets on a fucking soapbox and tell me and other we don't understand Islam and we are wrong, you, you need to step back, look at what your Islamic leaders are doing and saying and the reassess what the hell you are saying here.

I do agree with one thing you said, this war to defend freedom against the oppression of Islam would surely be long over if all of our leader read the Koran and studied it's culture. I am certain Mecca and Medina would be black smoking holes by now.

So the next time you want to stand up for Islam and their holiness saying its protected and those of us that opposed it are spitting on the constitution go to ground zero, go to Afghanistan, go to Riyadh and learn how true Islam is carried out. Watch them stone people on Thursday night in Riyadh. Watch the execute women in Afghanistan. Watch them run a genocide campaign in Northern Iraq against the Christians, in Sudan against the Christians, should I keep going, I can. You not talking here to a bunch of rednecks. Some here have been there, studied it, and watched the horror of Islam with our own eyes. We are not trampling on free speech my friend, we are protecting it.

#17 Pan,

you got it wrong. JFM was supporting the english guy's rights to burn a book against what Steve W was saying. JFM is not defending the koran. I think you meant to address Steve W or one of the others.

#19 I think JFM has an excellent appraisal. Now, how a person feels about that...

#23 He's saying go ahead and burn the book in refutation to Steve W's post -- as none of these Brits are trying to suppress its ideas a kin to Nazis -- they are merely protesting its ideas. They obviously know what's in the Koran as does our friend JFM - he's saying in some ways mein kampf was the holy book for certain folks as well, etc.

#24 I have such a short fuse when it comes to Islam, my apologies for not catching his meaning. I too think burning books is a worthless stunt, but in the US it is protected as long as not performed by the govt and Im ok with that. I am just tired of the hypocracy of Islam and how they tend to work the seams of our laws to meet their end and chip away at our freedoms.
