>As Gail Collins wrote in the NY Times the other day, I am not going to mention his name so as to avoid encouraging him further. For a pastor of a nothing congregation in Florida he sure has generated a whirlwind of public attention. Virtually every U.S. political and military leader has weighed in. Muslims have certainly take notice. I guess you can be a nobody, shout "I have a bomb!", and then you're somebody. He lit the fuse for sure.

>I really am trying to stay out of the political threads but please allow me this one comment re the Quran burning debate. Imagine it the other way around. What if some imam said he was going to burn a bible or wipe his a** with it? Would you not be incensed at him and possibly his entire country?

And would there be threats of killings worldwide? No.

The Islamics who have weighed in have by and large threatened more violence and killings by the 'religion of peace'.

The government officials have been worried about more killings by the 'religion of peace'.

Again, they win by violence or threat of MORE violence.

Go cower and hide from them some more.
