Real exchange:

REV. BONEHEAD: We're against a radical element of Islam. Even moderate Muslims should be on our side.
TV LADY: No moderate Muslim is going to be on your side when you're burning their holy book. I mean, that just sounds silly.
REV. BONEHEAD: *Long Pause For Reflection* ... It's... of course it's not silly.

How fantastic would it be if *that* depth of analysis was what triggered his change of "mind"!

"... he expects the controversial NYC mosque to be moved in exchange."

So, it was an act of extortion. But since there's no more rule of law he will get away with it.

OK, that's it.

I'm definitely voting for the Horse's Ass this fall.

As a peace actiVist who has been stalked,slandered and called anti patriotic for not standing united in supporting the war, I know wh
at its like to be told that I could be putting troops in harms way by showing the enemy that I believe the war is unjustified.

But when you compare our groups efforts to stop the wars and stop the killing compared to flaming the fire of hate by insult, some how we look like angels trying to do the work of Jesus not put our troops in harms way.

And so, now our President appears to be most moral and just, and our generals in their defense of the Moslem religion make our military look not quit so of the devil.

Almost as if it was a PR stunt put on by the CIA, or by the devil if you believe in that sort of thing.

Radical?

Notice the media doesn't paint him as a "radical" Christian, even as a pastor. In fact, his faith is hardly mentioned; rather just his title of pastor. If he were Muslum, M$M would be labeling him as a "radical" Muslum until your ears fell off.

Holier than thou publicity-seeking arsehole still got lots of publicity. He should burn in Hell, alas it also does not exist any more than his ethics.

He's remains just an ugly arsehole.

With all rights, you must accept the bad with the good. Free speech does a lot more good then bad. Do we realy want to restrict the bad at the exspence of the good?

Any American that wants the Islamic people to give up their church is crazy, and not a real American. Church is church, the ignorance and simple minds that are showing up across America are so embarrasing !
Also the fact that that reverand is a nut, kills me ...and now he gets to meet the President ? I hope he's not going to be our new spiritual leader ewwee....
What is wrong with this place ? Maybe I don't belong here anymore, because I sure do not fill my days hating people because of their religion. If that were the case, I would start with Christians !

Burning Korans is stupid, but the fate of the Middle East should not depend on what some idiot does in America.

American wouldn't riot if the Bible were burned. No one would die, nor would there be any Fatwah -like statements from any of Falwell's ilk.

Muslims should not take reprisals against Americans for any of this; they are far too sensitive, just like the ones who killed innocents in riots after the Danish cartoonist did his impudent drawing of Allah. Again, the world should not be held hostage to Muslim sensitivities.

They have to realize that their own religion is just like all others in that it is based on belief rather than fact; they should realize that in this day and age that all believers will be teased. As Madonna once sang,"It's a material world".

This comment comes from one who has written pages about Israeli oppression and the need to liberate Palestine from the killers of Count Folke Bernadotte and the sailors on the U.S.S. Liberty.

Islam must remember that in this country, the idiots are free to act out their idiocies and the government constitutionally constraioned from punishing idiots. They must learn that official tolerance does not equate to official approval. They should not expect every culture's taste and tolerance to match their own. That lesson they can learn from us. I doubt that the destruction of Jewish holy books would inflame the Israelis to act any more cruelly than they already do act.

This comment comes from one who has written pages about Israeli oppression and the need to liberate the Palestinians from the killers of Count Folke Bernadotte and the sailors of the U.S.S. Liberty.

Islam must remember that in our country the idiots are free to act and the government constrained to act their idiocies. Maybe they could learn a lesson from that; or, they could realize tat evry culture will not match their own. I doubt even the destruction of the Jewiosh holy books anywhere would inflame Israelis to greater savagery than they already practice.

Why not build a museum to display all the body parts brought back by our brave soldiers? Isn't that a much better and lasting display than burning the Koran?

A majority of the world is praying for God to destroy us and our bloody Empire, and comes now above poster to brag about how exceptional we are, and that all those ignorant vengeance filled Moslems need to follow our example.

Truth is, from our genocide of the American Indian, to our hired-killer Israel ethnic cleansing Palestine, we have always been a lawless nation with a most corrupt Constitution, one that creates a make believe government, one that establishes total anarchy run by a rich nobility.

Yesterday a state Supreme Court established that CIA torture is legal because our national security demands it. Add to this what Dictator Obama has done, extrajudicial killings and all, and common horse sense tells us that the very idea of “freedom of religion” is pure corruption from start to finish.

For we have a state religion called, “All men are created equal” when in this world all men are vastly unequal. Especially in ability to earn wealth, which is why we live in a wealth dictatorship run only by those with wealth.

So yes, our government should pull that Florida church into court and let a jury of twelve peers decide if burning the Koran will totally destroy our morality, along with our national security.

Whoever we are, wherever we're from, we shoulda noticed by now our behaviour is dumb
And if our chances expect to improve it's gonna take a lot more than tryin' to remove the other race or the other whatever from the face of the planet altogether
They call it "The Earth" which is a dumb kinda name but they named it right' cause we behave the same
We are dumb all over
Dumb all over, yes we are, dumb all over, near and far, dumb all over, black'n white, people, we is not wrapped tight
And nerds on the left, nerds on the right
Religious fanatics on the air every night, sayin' the bible tells the story and makes the details sound real gory about what to do if the geeks over there don't believe in the book we got over here
You can't run a race without no feet
And pretty soon there won't be no street for dummies to jog on or doggies to dog on
Religious fanatics can make it all be gone
I mean it won't blow up and disappear, it'll just look ugly for a thousand years
You can't run a country by a book of religon
Not by a heap or a lump or a smidgeon of foolish rules of ancient date, designed to make you all feel great while you fold, spindle and mutilate those unbelievers from a neighbouring state
To arms, to arms
Hooray! That's great, two legs ain't bad
Unless there's a crate they ship the parts to mamma in
For souvenirs, two ears (Get Down)
Not his, not hers but what the hey
The good book says, "It's gotta be that way"
But their book says, "Revenge the crusades"
With whips 'n chains and hand gernades
Two arms, two arms
Have another and another
Our Cod says, "There ain't no other"
Our Cod says, "It's all ok"
Our god says "This is the way"
It says in the book, "Burn and destroy"
And repent and redeem and revenge and deploy and rumble thee forth to the land of the unbelieving scum on the other side
Cause they don't go for what's in the book and that makes'em bad
So verily we must choppeth them up and stompeth them down
Or rent a nice French bomb to poof them out of existence while leaving their real estate just where we need it to use again for temples in which to praise our god, "cause he can really take care of business
And when his humble TV servant with humble white hair and humble glasses and a nice brown suit and maybe a blonde wife who takes phone calls, tells us our god says it's ok to do this stuff, then we gotta do it
Cause if we don't we ain't "Gwine up to hebbin"
Depending on which book you're using at the time
Can't use their's it don't work, it's all lies, gotta use mine
Ain't that right?
That's what they say
Every night, every day
Hey, we can't really be dumb if we're just following god's orders
Well let's get serious, god knows what he's doin'
He wrote this book here and the book says, "He made us all to be just like him"
So, if we're dumb, then god is dumb and maybe even a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side
Dumb all over, a little ugly on the side

"Dumb all over" Frank Zappa

I'll guess I'll call off my planned "Burn A Christian For Freedom" He he. Seriously, no Muslim ever called me a kike.

I support these wingnut's right to burn any book they can lay their hands on...as long as the book is legally owned by the people burning them, but I also suggest that if the media did not print all these stupid articles about these racist/bigots, they would go away...better yet, perhaps lay out the rational arguments for why this act will cause more harm than good...instead of fueling the fires with more angry words...

And let me point out that the vast majority of Muslims are not evil. Just like you cannot generalize that most Christians with pickups and rifles are not going to blow up a large government buildings tomorrow, because Nichols and McVeigh did...just because a couple nutcases professing a creed does something, is not reason enough to condemn everyone who shares some trait with them...

“There are stories from within Tribes that Christ lived
in this land with them long ago. The Mormon's in their
book say he lived in this land, too.”

According to the New Testament, Christ is God the Son, the one who spoke the words that created the earth. God being the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

Christ when he walked this earth was both God and man, after government crucified him he was still God and man, and some say for eternity he will be both God and man.

With each passing day it becomes more and more obvious that religion is worse than useless: it creates conflicts and problems that otherwise wouldn't even exist.

This "debate" about whose god, or whose collection of written myths and poems and tribal biases, is more valid than somebody else's would be downright hilarious in its irrelevancy to the modern world ... if the outcome of those debates wasn't so dang tragic.

Sadly, it may have been economic considerations that won the day.

OUR STATE RELIGION -- WHY DO YOU WORSHIP IT?

You worship a state religion, as you honor some kind of fiction creator and obey his commands. To wit:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men
are created equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among
these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Truth is, no one is created equal, as the rich will always have a greater ability to earn wealth, as socialism robs from the rich and creates a state of war, as capitalism robs from Moslems and gives to the Jews and that will always be a state of war.

For this day of life is more then anyone deserves, and this creates you unequal and a slave to everyone else. And this is true morality and it condemns your fiction state religion as a fake morality. For the only true religion is:

“You have read that it was spoken by Moses, ‘Eye for eye,
and tooth for tooth.’ I now say to you, Do not use force to
overcome evil. Instead, whenever you are slapped on the
right cheek you must turn to them also the other. And one
prosecuting you in court, in order the coat of yours to take,
give him also a suit of clothes.” Matthew 5:38

So yes, our government should pull that Florida church into court and let a jury of twelve peers decide if burning the Koran will totally destroy our morality, along with our national security.

I guess the pastor's congregation will have to go back to their usual Satuday activity, drunken sister-fucking and wife-beating

OUR STATE RELIGION -- A FAKE MORALITY

You worship a religion when you obey its teachings, consider its laws above all other laws, and are willing to use your deadly force to protect your religion from those who would use deadly force to destroy it. A full and perfect description of government, which is the organized will of men.

For the rich nobility of America, they owning most of the slaves, wealth and all of the land grants in America, to protect their excessive wealth and right to enslave all who do manual labor, they established a fiction religion that established a fake morality which reads:

PREAMBLE
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men
are created equal, that they are endowed by their
Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among
these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”

Then to make sure that their religion remained the only state religion, they added this absolute restriction:

CONSTITUTION
“Congress shall pass no law respecting the establishment
of (a new) religion, or the free exercise thereof (of the one
and only state religion).”

Truth is, planet earth has always been an intelligence dictatorship, and to prove the harm in it, in this life the rich will always hoard all the wealth and power.

Comes now a little church in Florida with the power to totally destroy our state religion and all its deadly force. For the Moslem religion is the world’s largest, even greater then all the Christians and Jews combined, and if our government should fail to stop the desecration of their Holy Koran, say a quick prayer to all your favorite gods because here comes Revelation and the end time in real time.

Christ was a great spiritual master, who said, "The Kingdom of Heaven is within" as one of his primary tenets. It saddens me that there are so many who somehow find cause to externalize some notion of a "Creator" as separate from the spirit of our own heart-awareness. This is the nature of love as Christ spoke of it, fully imbuing what is within and without equally.

When we conceptualize simple love and compassion into the form of an external "Creator," it's then that we humans find all kinds of cause to harm each other, mostly as a result of feeling our dearly held belief system is being threatened or undermined.

The case of this pastor is a perfect example. He believes his "God" is the only "true God" and that all other belief systems are utterly false in light of this. This is the height of spiritual pride.

When Christ said, "Love your enemy," what did he mean? Why did he say this? It seems very logical to say he's speaking of the universal nature of love, that whatever the belief system or faith of another we must strive to have great love and compassion no matter what. This is the heart of every canonized saint or holy man or woman to come out of all the faith traditions of the world.

All else is clinging to our own belief system out of fear and hatred at having to face all within ourselves that stands in the way of the pure love that we ultimately are. This is what Christ meant when he said that you will do as I have done and more; i.e. you are as much pure love as I am.

There is no joy in anger and hatred. There is only joy in the love that applies no conditions, that understands that the basis of all happiness is the wisdom that transcends all such limiting views.

The truth of our being is limitless, so very beyond language or concepts. And we can either use concepts to separate ourselves from others and the world, or we can use them to come closer to the truth of our mystical nature, though in this latter case we leave them behind in the end.

The choice is always ours.

Good news.... but.

Better news, which people should be protesting more over (because this provokes violence more than fairytale book burning) would be if our government called off our troops in Afghanistan. They make pastor Jones look like a piker. They're not burning Qurans over there, they're burning PEOPLE.
