"Florida pastor oversees Quran burning"

That means he should have to give back the car (or the equivalent value, assuming he already "gave it away to charity") now, right? But then again, since this Quran burning "was conducted by another pastor since Jones was serving as the judge," that's probably the loophole that he'd use to get out of ( Read more... )

Well, that settles it, as if it weren't already settled: Pastor Terry Jones is one of the assholiest of assholes. Terry Jones isn't the one donating a car to a Muslim charity here, Brad Benson is. Terry Jones is just the self-appointed middle man. Yeah, you just keep right on milking that 15 minutes for all it's worth, dude ( Read more... )

"I snuck up behind him and took his Quran. He said something about burning the Quran, I was like 'Dude you HAVE no Quran!' and ran off."

AHAHAHAhahahaha... that's awesome.

(EDIT)

Yeah, I guess this guy did steal that other guy's Quran and he probably shouldn't have done that, but even so...

AHAHAHAhahahaha... that's awesome.

Apparently, they have come to their senses, at least marginally speaking.

(That Twitter code there is just as a test to see if it actually works when this is imported to Twitter. (EDIT) And it does work. Neat. (/EDIT))

Or maybe not.

Just thought I would share what Mr. Doug TenNapel has had to say about the Quran burnings, among other things (link is time-sensitive, of course, and probably won't make much sense in this context even a week or two from now). For the most part, it's not very pretty, in my opinion. (EDIT) And it now looks like he's deleted all of the tweets in ( Read more... )

Okay, let's keep this relatively simple, at least to begin with.

Should the destruction of physical objects, regardless of what those objects are (Quran, Bible, American Flag, effigy of Osama bin Laden, effigy of the President, picture of the Pope, etc.) and regardless of the manner in which they are destroyed (burning, tearing, hanging, whatever ( Read more... )

Whoa, even Sarah Palin is making some semblance of sense for once and coming out against the Quran burning event. What kind of crazy, bizarro universe have I found myself in here? Hopefully this will be the "sign from God" that these crazies need to call off the whole bloody ( Read more... )

(Follow up to thisI'm seeing some people saying things like "It's free speech, they should be able to burn whatever books they want" or "Well, I don't see anyone telling the Muslims not to murder to keep people from burning the Quran, so why are we telling people not to burn the Quran to keep the Muslims from murdering" and such ( Read more... )

Fundies, please don't burn the Quran.

Even ignoring the threat to the troops... look, I don't care if it's the Quran, or Mein Kampf, or The Communist Manifesto, or The Anarchist Cookbook, or The Satanic Bible, or the Necronomicon, or even the Bible, or any other book you care to name. In my not so humble opinion, nobody has any good reason to ( Read more... )
