she's one of our TDT'ers lasalle. long time lurker but is starting to post :thumb: wait, what the hell am i doing in FSA????
well then nevermind Casey :lol: still a good point though. I don't know brotha what are you doing in here, you might have to give your opinion on something political....:hihi:
burning something terrible as a protest has been a perfectly fine tradition forever. are you guys muslims? you are aware that the koran is a book full of lies and craziness, right? i thought i posted this last night, but it may have gotten lost, or perhaps i screwed up, because iw as drunk: salman rushdie knew that he was going to cause problems when he wrote about islam, should he have quit? should theo van gogh have stopped speaking his mind when he heard threats? when political cartoons about muhammad cause violence should we stop? no, because it is not the cartoon that causes the violence. it isnt the novelist or the protester that is doing anything wrong. what about the koran is so great that it cant be burned? people will get angry? well F them! seriously when did we all become cowards?
i don't have any problem with them protesting, my problem is with those idiots who think their hokie religion is better than someone else's hokie religion. oh and burning a book, but we have been through that, and i have kind of changed my stance on that now, depending on what the book is. so which one is worse? the religion who beats women into submission, and speaks of intolerance, and spreading death to non muslims, or the one that does this crap...

Nothing, that ain't the point. The point is that it is senseless. Burning someones' holy book will just make them burn your own holy book and the result is nothing accomplished on either side, just a lot more angry people. Worse it affects me and I have no holy book. The rags aren't taking this as a Christian burning a Koran, they are taking it as an American burning a Koran, so they burn Old Glory instead of a Bible. The azzhole is not representing well and we have a right to get in his face about it. The blowback isn't going to him, its going to all of America. What's it to you who I criticize in America? Mind your own business, you friggin' liberal. It was only you. The rest of us became smarter and stopped tilting at windmills, Don Quixote.
