I've been reading about this Quran burning issue, and you know what? I'm pissed off about it. Not about them burning the book, but about the freaking double-standard that applies here. These radical muslims can burn our flag, bomb our country, bomb and/or otherwise kill our citizens, anywhere in the world, but how dare we burn their holy book? Know what? Fuck you! You can't expect tolerance whe you won't give any. And I'm not aiming this at the millions of peacefully practicing muslims in the world - it's aimed at the fanatics who are the ones creating the issue. (If the retaliation were specifically against the ones who did the offending, I might even be able to justify it in some sick twisted way, but the fact that they'll kill *any* innocent american is what's got me so hot.) I mean, for fuck's sake, they censored South Park for fear that showing an image of Mohammed would be offensive to people. WTF happened to freedom of speech? The reason they censored it is solely fear of retaliation - if it was just about offending people, they wouldn't even allow that show to continue, because it offends everyone equally.
And no, I'm in no way condoning the burning of the Quran. It pisses me off that we can say that, for example, Muslims have the right to build a mosque/center so near the site where radical muslims destroyed thousands of innocent lives, but some whack-job preacher in Bumfuck, USA, doesn't have the right to perpetrate an act that doesn't even injure another human being. Where was the condemnation of their totally inconsiderate and insensitive attitude regarding the feelings surrounding this mosque location? I'll tell you where it was - curled up in the corner in a big ball of fear that if we say anything, the terrorists will get mad and kill us.
We are a nation kowed; we live in fear of retribution for any slight against them (radicals). I'm sorry to have to tell you all this, but the terrorists have won.
