Likwid’s right, it doesn’t make us look as wacko as the terrorists,
Ah, yes, it’s a matter of scale.

If we want to defeat Islamic extremism we must employ the aid of the moderate Muslims, who must become more active in expelling the extremists from their ranks.
Moderate Muslims won’t kill and issue Fatwas because their “holy book” was pissed on. This is simply not an issue to any moderate Muslim that may exist.
Trashing one of the symbols of Islam isn’t going to get those people on our side.
I’m at that point now where if they are not on our side against terrorism after all that has happened already, then piss on them. They’re the ones with something to prove.

Probably not, but tearing up their holy book isn’t going to make them happy either.

I understand where that comes from, but I still don’t see where tearing up a Koran (or shooting up, in this instance) does anybody any good. Christians here wouldn’t like to see this sort of thing done to a bible. The average American wouldn’t like to see this sort of thing done to our flag. We aren’t going to riot over it, but its not going to engender our good will either.
We need to work together to defeat terrorism. This flies in the face of that.

What!?? Pissing on and shooting up a Koran makes us “look as wacko” as those who kill over an allegation of a flushed Koran?!! What’s wrong with your morals?

Right on, Rob. This kind of thing, along with threatening to blow up Mecca, make us look as wacko as the terrorists.
Oh, and I love how the banner ad is for the Muslim Matrimonial Sevice!

I hope you’re just filling up your quota of immflammatory posts cause this one is morally offensive and tactically dumb. It might make you feel better to see the piss and shooting show but when all is said and done, what have you accomplished? Nothing in practical terms and a little closer down the path towards barbarism...which is what we’re supposed to be against.

The people responsible for issuing this fatwa are pigs, no doubt, but I don’t see where trashing the Koran gets us anywhere.

Likwid’s right, it doesn’t make us look as wacko as the terrorists, but it isn’t helping to recruit moderate Muslims to our cause either.

One is pissing on and shooting up an inanimate object. The other is chopping off your head. Ah, yes, just a simple matter of scale...to a moral relativist.

Watch out likwidshoe! I smooshed a piece of wonder bread into the shape of your head and set it on fire!!!! I wish death upon you!!!!! I have a hard time taking you seriously on this matter...you seem smarter than this. If nothing else, you’re demonstrating your own adherence to doctrine over common sense.
