Q'uran Burning By Gainesville Nutcase.

[ChriswUfGator]

The level of terrorist attacks by Christian Fundamentalists is now where near the volume of terror by Islamic Fundamentalists.

Sorry, it's Jews being persecuted in this video, but I couldn't find a funny video about Muslims being butchered during the Crusades.

One of my all-time favorite movies ever! And tied for my favorite scene in that movie, I can never decide whether I like the inquisition better or the "It's Good to be the King!" scene where Mel Brooks as Louis XVI is shouting "Pull!" and doing some skeet shooting using peasants instead of a clay pigeon.

It's getting to be time for another movie night...

I don't think they had YouTube in those days. It's only a matter of time till the Crusades come into the debate.

Not sure how it factors in any relevant way today though.

The Crusades are still relevant because there's Middle Eastern folks out there who are still rather pissed off about being constantly invaded by unbathed book-burning Christians for two hundred straight years.

The Spanish Inquisition didn't start until about 200 years after the Crusades ended, and is not relevant. I just think that clip from Mel Brooks' History of the World is hilarious.

Mel Brooks clips are always appropriate!

[Sportmotor]

Ya'll are racist

Ya'll are racist

+1

[Timkin]

Mel Brooks clips are always appropriate!

Mel Brooks clips are uniquely and invariably slap-stick ridiculously funny

[DeadGirlsDontDance]

Is stupid a race?

[Timkin]

that too

I agree with your entire statement JC...

It is this type of callousness insensitivity and lack of respect for the cultures of others

This type of callousness and insensitivity... however... is not restricted to those on the religious right.

In this instance it is... isnt it?

[buckethead]

Not so sure about that.

I suppose we could assume the reverend is a righty.

[ChriswUfGator]

Well this may explain it...

Definitely something in the water!

Jacksonville man to Gainesville preacher: 'Let's burn Qurans!"
Man says evil starts with Muslim holy book

By Jeff Brumley

Danny Lovely says he's an unemployed Baptist preacher and a huge fan of Pastor Terry Jones, the Gainesville minister whose threat to burn Qurans on Saturday caught the world on fire.

Lovely drove to Gainesville from Jacksonville on Friday evenign to show support for Jones, who indicated earlier in the day there would be no Quran burning going on Saturday afterall. Jones said he is hoping Muslim leaders in New York will cease plans to build a mosque at ground zero in return.

But that didn't deter Lovely's enthusiasm. Lovely said he plans to be at the Dove World Christian Center to burn Qurans with Jones if by some chance the latter's "International Burn A Quran Day" goes ahead.

"Burn, burn, burn," he said when asked what he was prepared to do with the Muslim holy book.

He also said he would not burn Qurans if Jones really has decided not to do so.

Lovely spoke beside his beat up, aging Dodge mini-van which was covered on three sides with posters expressing support for Jones' anti-Islamic views.

Two despicable acts: burning of Korans and building of a mosque at the site of a mass murder commited in the name of islam.  The difference?  Those on the left (including many here) were quick to dawn their constitutional rights hats and jump to the defense of those initiating the mosque construction in the name of "freedom of religion", and "this is America".  Where are you in defense of this reverend's rights? No where to be seen as is expected from the left.  No consistency, as usual.  Instead, you will demonize him and his church and call them "nut jobs". Why?  Because appeasement and political correctness runs amok.   I fully expect the left leaning (falling over) media to be investigating the reverend's past to try to dig up any dirt they can find. Watch the headlines in the next few days for stories about his past.   In no way do i condone burning Korans, but I understand his point. He, like many of us are tired of the countless kidnappings, beheadings, flag burnings, etc that are covered as "no big deal" by journalists.  This book burning would have no effect in Afghanistan what so ever.  American troops walking the streets of kabul is more than enough justification (in their minds) to kill our troops.   On the other hand, i see no real benefit to burning Korans.  But go ahead and continue to kiss the rearends of Islamist and other enemies of America.  See where it gets you.

I will tell you where our religious tolerance has gotten US we have form the greatest society on the planet and have become the leaders of the free world. This from a country less than 250 years old founded on religious freedom and tolerance. I say let's stick to our high road.  If you want religious fanaticism there are lots of options on this world.
