what an IDIOT

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/09/07/pastor-says-church-deterred-petraeus-warning-koran-burning/

This ignorant minister from Florida thinks he is doing the right thing by buring the Holy Koran in protest on Septmeber 11th.

What a dope..!!

the amount of disrespect and prejudice being shown to muslims by some people is absolutely disgusting.

It's scary that there are people like this in America...

The fortunate thing is that when extremists (on either end of the spectrum) go too far, reasonable people, which most Americans are, come together to make things right.  The unfortunate thing is that some people do suffer before that happens.

Whose fault is that?

his.  not all muslims committed the crimes on 9/11.  the muslim religion should not be punished for it.

just like all germans didn't take part in the holocaust, and just like not all christians protest the funerals of American soldiers. 

I don't get President Obama on this one and I want to be clear, I think it is WRONG if this pastor goes ahead with his Koran burning.

President Obama doesn't want this pastor to burn the Koran because it will offend Muslims here and abroadd but he thinks it ok and supports the Muslims rights to build a mosque 550 feet from Ground Zero that will offend the familes of murdered American citizens.

His? Who, the pastor? Who cares about him? The Muslim people need to repair their image, they have noone to blame but themselves

Amen!

   It's probably Bush's fault

It's the fault of people like you who can't differentiate between extremists and peaceful followers of a religion.

Are you an IRA terrorist baldi? Am I?

Peaceful followers who stone people and cut limbs off

really, where does that happen in america?

Are we the same as IRA terrorists, Baldi?

According to Baldi's logic, you are the same as the people who go around the USA with "God Hates America" signs, protest the funerals of American soldiers, and burn down abortion clinics.

No, but if IRA terrorists flew planes into buildings in the U.S.A murdering thousands of people, I would be embarassed and apologetic about it. And I certainly would not want to set up shop on what they consider their top military victory. All those pro mosque protestors should be ashamed of themselves, especially on a day like tomorrow. Fckin ridiculous

The pastor has every right to burn a Koran.  Here is the difference in terms of morality:

The burning of the Koran is an OBVIOUS and BLATANT way to bully and disrespect a minority faith in this country.  As for the building of the mosque, there has YET TO BE PROOF of an INTENTION to disrespect victims of 9/11.  You can point out to me all the shady questions you want about the Imam leading it, however there has yet to be any remote PROOF that this project is being taken up to disrespect anybody. 

If a Christian group had committed the terrorist acts of 9/11 in the name of Jesus Christ, we wouldn't hear ANYTHING if a group wanted to build a church 2.5 blocks from Ground Zero.  Its the BULLYING of Muslims that is so utterly disgusting.  This type of treatment would have NEVER been leveled upon a Christian or Jewish group if it had been one of them that committed the terrorist acts of 9/11.

I actually think Baldi's logic equates me and him with IRA terrorists.  Irish catholic terrorists in Ireland who have nothing to do with catholics, nor irish-americans, in america.

  Well the pastor decided it was a stupid idea (or was pressured not to do it) and didn't go through with it even though he had every right to do it.  Interesting.  Imam should take note perhaps.  Or maybe not.

  Also lets not pretend that Muslims are this peaceful ever loving group.  There are plenty that are, of course.  But, they also treat women, gays, and other minorities like they are complete trash.  Tolerance goes both ways.

Most major religions and countries treated women, gays and other minorities like complete trash circa 20-50 years ago...or even today in some cases.  Islam has not been a religion fully embraced in first world countries...in time Islam will also evolve.
