Burn-A-Koran Day to be held on anniversary of 9/11, tension mounts

[Josh]

he might still go ahead with it i thought?

I heard it got cancelled. But true, he'll probably just do a couple secretly and come out with a video in the weeks ahead. Attention seeker/

[wixard]

OR it was all a huge publicity stunt

[Inseriousity.]

so is he going to do it or what? I think he should go ahead now he has said he will because they will all be like lol you're an idiot. Just do it and see what happens, they burn the american flag and do god knows what else so i think it's time the western world actually stands up for themselves instead of being scared about what they will do.

too late for that
No-one is scared over what they'll do, we just have enough sense to know it's not worth doing the same.

no actually i think everyone agrees that hes a much more reasonable person for ultimately deciding against it. and its not about us "standing up for ourselves" (after all, we have been in an all-out war for the past 7 years lol), its about being the better country. this isn't about attack/retaliation, as that just leads to and endless cycle. the only way peace will ever be made is if we don't make responses such as burning their holy book.

everyone always asks "why can they burn our flag and the bible but we cant burn the koran?" well its about the context; we are a huge, powerful, first world country who invaded their third world, violence-ravaged country. we told them we came to liberate them and make peace, but then they hear about us burning their holy book. if you put yourself in their shoes, they have a much better reason to be burning american flags than we do to be burning korans. honestly i cant think of a single good reason for us to burn a koran.

Tbh I do agree about burning the quran today, but if I did like go to a group of of people who was in favour on burning the quran, I'd be classed as a raciest by muslims and others.

But just say people burnt the bible on like Christmas Day, no one would give a s*** about it, and I class that as racist.

Not fair tbh.

Got a few questions for you;

Why do you agree?
Where do you get the assumption that people wouldnt care?

I agree because why not, because just say if someone blow up a mosque, the bible will proberly be burnt, or the english/american etc flags will probs be burnt/stamped on/ spat at, so they'll probs do the same.

Because blacks (not being racist here) always use the racist mark to get out of things and mostly it works e.g if a white police man arrests a black person and if a black police man arrests a white person and the white person says "your being racist" nothing will go against it.

So what, your reasoning is basically, "they'd probably do it so we should", im sorry but thats just ******ed.

Because there generally is racism in that part, lets be honest with ourselves here, theres still racism everywhere. But honestly, all of your reasoning seems to be "probably" and "if", nothing solid.

Wait so if they do it, we should do it? That's how wars happen :S

If people burnt a bible in the western world people would go mental. If you burnt a bible in the middle east (which is quite common anyway..) nobody really cares. BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE THAT MANY PEOPLE WHO FOLLOW THAT RELIGION LIVING THERE.

However in the western world you get a lot of muslims. Which is obviously why you can get uproars.

hehe reminds me of my dad saying "if they jumped off a bridge, would you do it too?" whenever I copied someone at school.

I agree that the racism card is overused but bear in mind that when you're about to be thrown into a cell, you're more than likely bound to use everything you can to avoid it! You say mostly it works but I imagine that police just say the standard "if you'd like to make an official complaint... blah blah blah" which then goes nowhere.
