The idiot knows what he's doing too. Guess he decided that he wants martyrdom.

I'm assuming you're posting this as an example of the same kind of offense that Muslims feel when they see burning Qurans.

The way I see it, the ideal is for people to only be offended by actions that are more personal -- like when your spouse cheats on you, or a friend lies to you.

When people can be angered with a mere word, or a burning flag, or a burning book, or a cartoon...   Well, that's giving far too much power and value to a symbol.

The things that matter the most in this world are the intangibles.  A violation of my trust is a much graver offense to me than a mere label, for example.

Touche...  Obama's old church seems fanatical in some respects.

I live in rural oregon.   I know these churches and I know the people who attend these churches.  They're a bunch of fundamentalist idiots.  Thankfully they're a small minority and they're generally too stupid and too poor actually do anything.  But it terms of ideology, they'd get a long well with the Taliban.  Homosexuality is evil and anyone who tolerates it is just as evil, women are subservient property of their husband or father.  Publics schools are nothing more than homosexual indoctrination centers. Abortion physicians are murderers deserving execution on sight,  and the really crazy ones who refuse traditional medicine in favor of prayer.  Mostly they stay quiet to keep the food stamps, disability and welfare rolling in.

As long as this knucklehead understands that burning the Quran will most certainly cost American lives ...

This is a good thing if you support the continuous polarisation between Islam and the western world ...

This is bad thing if you value free speech, burning the Quran or any other book that means so much to so many is a misuse of free speech ...

This is a clear strike to the statement that Islam is intolerant, burning the Quran as means to fight radical Islam is well ... quite an radical action, can you really fight radicalism with radicalism?

No. It is just to see how fucked up the pastor is. The way he talks in that video shows how little he is.

Meh, I don't see why Muslims give a shit. Surprise surprise, it's the Pakistan government now getting involved and making diplomatic moves over it. You've got to be shitting me, a fucking Redneck Church in the middle of nowhere and now governments are getting involved and its turned international. This is proof, guys, that Muslims give a shit what a bunch of Rednecks do. They always give a shit what White people think of them, it seems. Look at the BS over the cartoons printed by some random Danish newspaper, I mean seriously, protests happening all the way in.... fucking Durkastan over some shit in fucking.....what, Denmark(!)... by a newspaper?

These guys need to get a life.

Might be because Islam is more than a religion Mekegg ... it's a way of life ... people need to understand that simple fact ...

That still doesn't mean they need to get all angry or even care about what some random people half way across the world think of them or do

And even if they do, burning books and drawing cartoons does not mean that the answer to that is violence and destruction, what kind of religion says that's the answer to all of lifes problems, because that's what it seems like for Islam.

By a radical action like burning the Quran you awake radical Muslims ... most Muslims don't give a rats ass ... most Muslims does not resort to violence and destruction, nor do they believe it is the answer to all of lifes problems ...
