>>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?

Bill, you can really be bellicose. Not leaping to condemnation of an entire religion of 1.5 billion people is not cowering.

Just so it's clearer than it seems to be:

-- I know there are Islamic terrorists who mean us harm.

-- We should hunt them down and imprison or kill them like the dogs they are.

-- If that means going into allegedly sovereign nations like Pakistan to get them, we should. Screw Pakistan, they're lousy allies anyway.

Where we diverge is condemning and discriminating against every Muslim.
