#1 'People may say that I am crazy'
"Okay, maybe you're just an idiot. Choose."

It's not an either-or choice - maybe he's a crazy idiot.

#2 Sorry, but this strikes of publicity seeking or more likely money raising.

I bet if you offered these pastors ~~assholes~~ some money to not burn these books they would gladly take it and say that after praying, God told them not to do it.

#3 There are two kinds of people in the World.
These who grasped that for a Muslim there are only two possibilities: you're his bitch, or he's yours. The alternatives are not unacceptable---they simply do not exist.
These who didn't.

#4 I think the mooks should stage mass suicides to protest.

#5 In a large part of the South, there are trailer churches two or three to a block. Getting a congregation by whatever means is pretty desperate, and the chance at free publicity is worth its weight in gold.

The idea has a couple of days to spread. If it catches on, there will be a lot of Korans ordered by overnight delivery.

#6 He may be a nut, but it is a fact that in 2010 major institutions in the west are observing Sharia out of a fear of violence.

Westergaard is a marked man, Molly Norris has a Fatwa on her head, the MSM does not print or show certain cartoons, neither does Yale, the Metropolitan Museum won't exhibit them either. Comedy Central is Sharia compliant too.

Van Gogh believed that the antidote to bad speech is good speech, that the rules of the Free Marketplace of Ideas still applied.

The truth, as he found out, is that good speech is a capital offense.

Reverend Old's brand of religion is very likely not my cup of tea, and he may be a crude, uncouth bitter clinger. He's not threatening to harm or kill any living being though. So I'll reserve my outrage for the islamofascists who are.

Nut or no nut I prefer defiance as opposed to complacency as our freedoms are being extinguished and our countries are turning into finlandized caricatures of their former selves.

#7 Where did all the dhmimmis on Rantburg suddenly come from? F**K Islam and its pedophile prophet. Now, lets see if I get censored to protect the tender feelings of the filth that knocked down the Twin Towers, murdered over 2800 civilians in the process, and had their civilians worldwide dancing in the streets over the attack.

#8 Shieldwolf- This has nothing to do with being easy on Islam. The reason the people of Islamic cultures are so f'ed up is they listen to their religious nutbags. We are better off because when our religious leaders start acting like nutbags, we treat them with derision.

The fact is, I never thought the people of Iraq and especially Afghanistan were worth saving. They have proved to not be worth the lives of our young men and women, and this idiotic war is sucking our treasury dry when we have more significant national security threats (Mexico).

They will never have even a half assed democracy. Instead of fighting Al Qaeda and the Taliban on the ground, I'd fight them with UAVs and agent orange their poppy fields. I would boycott sending antibiotics to them. And I wouldn't let their people come into the United States on visas or give them green cards.
