Pakistan Stoked Anger About Qur’an-Burning Incident
The news that a small Florida church burned a copy of the Qur’an on March 20 went virtually unreported in most of the world – with Pakistan the chief exception – until the eruption of violence in Afghanistan on Friday.
Honestly, I had no idea the guy had even done it, until all the crap erupted in Afghanistan. But gracious sakes, leave it to our “ally” to make a mountain out of a molehill!
Sen. Richard Durbin told NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday that pastor Terry Jones was “looking for publicity. And as long as he gets that publicity, he will continue this irresponsible conduct.”
Well, personally, I don’t give a flip if he burns the evil book or not. But did Dustbin say anything about the “irresponsible” VIOLENCE? It’s a flippin’ book that promotes hatred, for cryin’ out loud! At least Jones didn’t murder anyone. He is NOT responsible for the actions of the animals.
On March 22, Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari, in a speech to the federal parliament, condemned the incident “in the strongest possible words,” and Pakistan’s foreign ministry called the burning a “despicable act.”
Did he also condemn the destruction of Bibles? Or the murder of Christians in his country?
One of the participants, a group which the U.S. State Department calls a “front operation” for the terrorist organization Lashkar-e-Toiba, announced that a reward of some $1.2 million would be paid to anyone who kills Jones.
And there in lies the difference between us, and them. I’m real sick of our so called “public servants” condemning the actions of one man, a fellow countryman, who harmed no one, yet excusing the barbaric actions a bunch of murderous thugs.
During a meeting with U.S. ambassador Karl Eikenberry and Gen. David Petraeus, Karzai repeated his call for U.S. and U.N. to put Jones on trial, and urged the U.S. Senate condemn the Qur’an-burning.
I urge the ambassador, the general, and OUR Senate to condemn the behavior of the Afghans, and take retaliatory actions, immediately!
Here are two YouTube videos by a young American woman pushing back on the nitwit Sen Graham in an wonderful way. Be sure to watch them both as she has much to say and show. This needs to go viral.

Uh….wow! She didn’t hold back, did she! Heh. But I kept thinking….she should have put the bacon in that burn jar too.
I thought about the bacon too, but then she would have had a great grease fire, and the house would have probably gone up in flames, a major distractions to the message.
I thought she did a beautiful job. We need more young, articulate people speaking out like this.
LOL Ya got a point there, but it sure would have smelled good in the neighborhood.
