This is an opinion peace I came across last night and I think it does a great job taking to task the apologists, scumbags and people claiming that this will lead to more violence.
"The Democrats and liberal media are frothing at the mouth over some lousy burning Qur’ans. But where were the stern faces and heartfelt concern for the troops’ safety from 2002-2009 when the NY Times leaked confidential secrets involving National Security, when Abu Ghraib photos were front page news every day for a year, not to mention the WikiLeaks Document Dump that poses a far greater danger to the troops than a few crispy Qur’ans.
And what about all the Qur’ans that were incinerated as insurgents blew up and continue to blow up mosques in the Middle East?
Was Hillary wearing her Muslim hijab when she offered her “unequivocal condemnation of this disrespectful, disgraceful act?” AG Eric Holder called the pastor “idiotic and dangerous,” something he refrained from saying about the Fort Hood Shooter. Gen David Petraeus repeated the same statement that I heard from the White House, “Were the actual burning to take place, the safety of our soldiers and civilians would be put in jeopardy and accomplishment of the mission would be made more difficult.” So there’s no way to know if those were his thoughts or an Obama speechwriter’s.
Funny there is never any handwringing when Muslims insult Americans as they do on a regular basis both here an abroad.
Did you even see this video on the 6:00 News when the Islamic Thinkers Society desecrated our flag and trashed our country (where they have chosen to reside) right in the streets of Midtown Manhattan? Free Speech double standards, indeed.
I suggest we call ‘Burn a Qur’an Day’ an eye for an eye."
It's funny. The MSM felt compelled to plaster those Abu Ghraib pictures EVERYWHERE and are directly responsible for getting Nicholas Berg beheaded as well as having the blood of countless others who died in the reprisal attacks on their hands. In a time of war the MSM was posting pictures that they knew would lead to mass violence. But that was OK. The NY Times and other rags had no qualms with posting up the real names of Afghan informants with the Wikileaks incident.
But NOW they feel compelled to take the moral high road and not burn some korans to prevent violence. What a sad joke.
