Burning The koran

September 9th, 2010 . by Cary

Long-time readers know that I have zero respect for the cult of islam, the muslims who follow it, or their so-called “holy book”, the koran. No respect to the point that if you were to go back over every post I have ever made about any of these subjects, you would notice one thing – they never get capitalized.

That said, the pastor in Gainesville who has stated that he plans on burning copies of the koran on 9/11 is one of two things: either crazy, or crafty. There is a fine line there.

He’s crazy if he thinks it is going to change how the muslims view themselves. He’s crafty if he’s got everyone giving this so much attention and drawing attention to the reactions of the followers of islam, the so-called “religion of peace” that is demonstrating, rioting, and generally showing their collective “hinders” to the world. He’s crazy if he thinks all this media attention wasn’t going to happen. He’s crafty if he thought a little media attention would help the first crafty notion mentioned. He’s crazy if he lets all the pressure change his course. He’s crafty if his course was to just announce, but never carry out, the burning.

You see, that’s what I think is going to happen. Instead of lighting up all those copies of the koran, he’s going to pull a press conference and point out how just the thought of their “holy book” being disrespected was enough to send the muslims into paroxysms of rage and rioting, and point out how when a Bible is burned, it doesn’t bother Christians. He’ll probably point out the hypocrisy of the media left, who celebrate the first amendment every time someone burns a flag but decries the burning of the koran…

That’s what I think will happen. We’ll see.

Now, before any muslims or islamic apologists come on here and try to convince me that I have it all wrong, that there is no mention of violence against others in the koran:

● Do not hanker for peace with the infidels; behead them when you catch them (47:4)
● The unbelievers are stupid; urge the muslims to fight them (8:65)
● muslims must not take the infidels as friends (3:28)
● Terrorize and behead those who believe in scriptures other than the qur’an (8:12)
● muslims must muster all weapons to terrorize the infidels (8:60)
● Slay the unbelievers wherever you find them (2:191)
● Make war on the infidels living in your neighborhood (9:123)
● When opportunity arises, kill the infidels wherever you catch them (9:5)
● Kill the Jews and the Christians if they do not convert to islam or refuse to pay jJizya tax (9:29)
● Any religion other than islam is not acceptable (3:85)
● The Jews and the Christians are perverts; fight them (9:30)
● Maim and crucify the infidels if they criticize islam. (5:33)
● The infidels are unclean; do not let them into a mosque (9:28)
● Punish the unbelievers with garments of fire, hooked iron rods, boiling water; melt their skin and bellies (22:19)

h/t to Texas Fred for the lines of the koran.

    Man, I hope you’re right in your prediction. This kerfuffle, coupled with the Ground Zero Mosque has educated many about Muslim intolerance. If this Pastor shows how Christians are willing to consider the emotions of others, that would accomplish MUCH toward further embarrassing Islamic barbarians.
    I’ll be watching the outcome intently.

    I am as much in the dark as anyone not wearing that Pastor’s clothes is about his intentions; I pray that it is just to show up the islamists as NOT being of the “Religion of Peace”.
