I am against this burning because this old fart pastor will probably botch it. They need to fill a barnful of korans and send in a flaming goat or something else really unique and epic. I am all for poking the muslims in the eye but showmanship counts for something. Ive got standards.

This problem is being fuelled by the media
this mornings television here in Oz is talking about it
the internet is full of it
if they just left it alone, hardly anybody would know about it, let alone do anything in retaliation...
my 2 cents worth...

Oz makes a valuable point that we have largely missed discussing here: This is pretty much a non-event fanned into a scandal by the media. But, not JUST the media - I hate to say it, but General Petreaus (who I like & support) had a big hand in getting this national attention by calling it out. I think Petreaus would have done far better to ignore it - it is not worthy of the remarks of a general in the field.
I think it is also pretty significant that President Obama has spoken out today against the book-burning in strong terms - while at the same time seemingly supporting the Mosque at ground zero, and then saying that he "had to remain silent on the wisdom of the mosque subject". This kind of thing makes a lot of people think Obama is very apologetic toward Islam - even making some of the most far-out claim he is Muslim himself. (NO - I don't believe that, but I see how his actions can fan the flames)

Call Emerges for "Burn the Stars and Stripes Day"
A radical Islamic activist and lawyer in the U.K. has called on Muslims worldwide to burn U.S. flags outside American embassies on Sept. 11, a "direct retaliation" against a Florida church's plan to burn Qurans on the same day.
Anjem Choudary, former leader of the banned hardline Islamic group Islam4UK, told CBS News in London he was calling for, "an international burn the Stars and Stripes day" on the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Choudary, who regularly organizes small demonstrations in Britain calling for the implementation of Islamic law, was the first public figure -- and a likely one -- to call for retaliation against Gainesville, Fla. Reverend Terry Jones' plans to burn at least 100 Qurans.

Angry muslims burning the US flag? Wow, that's original.
The Pastor is a douchebag, but he can do what he wants.
