You can't burn a koran but burning the flag is okay?

Welcome to BO's new society- one where you'll get arrested for even the suggestion that a koran might get burned but burning our flag is an acceptable way to protest!

 

Burn all flags and burn all religious books. The only problem is when you selectively burn some and not others. Problem solved right?

Symbols and dogma.

 

Obama has said he would stand with Muslims over Christians........Google it.

 

Yeah, I did. That is not what he said.

 

I'm not into burning books, but should I ever want to, I'll burn as many Korans as I damn well please. Along with the Communist Manifesto, Obama's 'Dreams From My Father', Bill Clinton's 'My Life' and Hillary Clinton's "It Takes A Village" for starters.

 

Burning a book or a flag is a pretty childish way to presumably protest your ignorance towards the world. Might as well just burn a j and rethink your life if you come down to either.

 

You play too nice Rlm....I was looking for "You're a liar" ;-)

 

Sorry to burst your bubble.

 

I am ok with someone burning Korans. He could have burned them at his house all night long. But, if you are going down the road towing a big BBQ grill filled with almost 3000 Korans soaked in kerosene, I hope the cops at least pull you over and say "Whatcha doin', dumbass??"

 

I have to laugh at people who get all worked-up over the burning of an American flag.

Why?

Well, how do you think they "retire" old flags?

They stuff 'em into a barrel and light the suckers on fire.

The irony.

 

"Whenever I appear before immigrant audiences, I can count on some good-natured ribbing from my staff after my speech; according to them, my remarks always follow a three-part structure: "I am your friend," "[Fill in the home country] has been a cradle of civilization," and "You embody the American dream." They're right, my message is simple, for what I've come to understand is that my mere presence before these newly minted Americans serves notice that they matter, that they are voters critical to my success and full-fledged citizens deserving of respect.
"Of course, not all my conversations in immigrant communities follow this easy pattern. In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific assurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
