Saxi you need a bigger arrow.

Everyone else needs to watch the video in Nobunga's link. The actual president is even talking about this. I say mission accomplished for Pastor Nut job.
I wonder if CNN is going to have a live feed watching the guy? He doesn't even know what he's going to do but so far "We've cancelled it." "We'll have to make that announcement tomorow."

I grew up with the term Moslem, rather than Muslim.

I'm not as old as you seem to believe I am. I graduated high school in 1985.
I don't believe it. You're way too crotchety.
You deal with high schoolers all day and see if you're not crotchety. <laughing>

Personally, I have never seen any American in the process of writing either word. I think we need to do an exhaustive study on the American population at large. Any one of you "Stud's" out there want to take this up as a thesis?

Every time you type "Stud" in that reference and I picture AOG and Night Strike as members of that group, I start laughing. And then crying.

Usually I say Islam or Muslim, but Moslem is still correct. And you might not have heard it, but I have seen it written that way many times by Muslims/Moslems themselves (and not in the way blacks might call each other "nigger", either). The first time I even heard that another spelling is preferred was a few months ago. Usually I try to stay with Muslim since that, just to be safe, but I forgot this time.

Nice way to divert a discussion, though saxi.

well lets just say koran burning happened, not as organized or large scaled as it could have been but here are some sites showing how americans are having their moment of fame by trashing the koran and further igniting the hate.

I like this thread gabon, but let's remember that most christian evangelicals are more concerned with insulting people and arguing over which childish religion is right, than saving lives.

You're right, but I'd still say that's worlds better than taking innocent lives...

That should be their new motto: Sure, we may be a hate spreading, insulting religion not concerned in any way with following the word we pretend to preach, but we dont kill people. Join us next Sunday to feel the love.

In truth, the big evangelical and conservative Radio programs have all come down against the K'ran burning. One of their main arguments is that this will endanger Christian missionaries and make it harder for them to talk to Muslims, because stomping on someone's religion is not the best way to get them to hear you.

There are idiots and jerks in every religion.. every group of people of any type on earth. This guy just happens to be a Christian one.

As an AMERICAN, I support the display of opinion, though burning a K'ran or insulting anyone's religion in such an abrasive way is idiotic, because it tends to backfire heavily. In fact, letting these idiots do as they will is probably the best argument against such acts.

However, as a CHRISTIAN, I am always insulted when someone tries to claim they are acting under direction of my lord when committing hateful acts.

What if the argument is that by taking those lives they are, in fact, saving them?
