    Snow, did you see the Quran verses posted earlier?

    Read them, not for the first time.

    When I was a callow youth, I used to attend Muhammad's Temple of Islam - Black Muslims!

    I saw through that, but not the JW's.

    By the way, I read somewhere that this Quran burning church in Gainesville is somehow associated with the Westboro Baptist Church people.

    Birds of a feather ...

    The Vatican has commented on this:

    http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/news/national/vatican-says-koran-buring-would-be-outrageous-newscore-20100908

    Christians are trying to distance themselves from this group.

    I only wish we would see the same sort of talk coming from leading Islamic religious leaders when it comes to terrorist acts. Even Imam Rauf of the Ground Zero mosque placed blame on the US for 9-11.

    If I assume that Muslims will react to this with violence, am I engaging in the soft bigotry of low expectations?

    Now, THAT would make sense, BTS.

    he was unable to state difinitively that he was against forcing Muslims to register.

    He did not think it was necessary to state it. If you look at the thread, I posted the question incredulously that anyone could actually believe I was for registering Muslims in the U.S. like foreign agents.

    SW, don't you realize that those types of comments destroy all your credibility? Everything written after that is moot

    JWoods, by that reasoning used against you, if someone starts a Holocaust or slavery thread, and you don't mention how wrong it was in your post, then obviously you are for it.

    Surely there have been enough comments on these last two pages to get them on here spitting fire and swinging fists for fair treatment of peaceful Islam?

    The light of logic and reason makes even the bravest of the ill-informed and ignorant scurry for the shadows

    I think Justicia really owes me an apology

    JWoods, you do realize that all I did was post some of your responses from other posts. Just for what in particular would you have me aplogize?

    I am sorry though. I really, really truly am sorry that you posted those comments.

    There is one interesting nuance to your claim that you do not support registering Muslims. That is NOT an answer to the question posted. The question posted was will you state with certainty, for the record, that you would stand AGAINST any legislation to register Muslims. So far, you have not answered that question.

    Allow me to demonstrate the nuance. History tells us that there was a substantial number of Germans who didn't really support Hitler, but there were less Germans who stood against Hitler.

    Perhaps it is just semantics, and that you stand AGAINST such legislation is what you really meant. If that is true, then you need to say that. It really is very simple.
