Here’s the headline:
It’s from the Telegraph who should know better than to write an entire article about how the Muslim world wants Obama to fix this without once mentioning who we are and what rights we have.
Go ahead – click on through, I’ll wait. …..
After reading that article, if you were an unintelligent person unable to discern silly inaccurate news stories, wouldn’t you be led to believe that the Muslim world is not very peaceful at all?
In fact it sounds like they’re downright violent unless you do as they say.
Here’s the lede.
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, Indonesia’s leader, has written to the American President asking him to personally intervene to stop irreparable damage to relations between the West and Muslims “threatening world peace”.
Yes – we must now worry about world peace because of 30 Americans doing idiot things that Americans do.
Did you know that Saudi Arabia burns bibles all the time? I didn’t until Jawa let me know.
“As a matter of official policy, the government either incinerates or dumps Bibles, crosses and other Christian paraphernalia,” the Saudi Institute said in an article posted on its website.
“Although considered as holy in Islam and mentioned in the Koran dozens of times, the Bible is banned in Saudi Arabia, and is confiscated and destroyed by government officials,” it said.
Jawa also has a link today to this story that is worth a read.
Any how…..Rauf has the right to build his Cordoba house (even though had he thought it through a little more, he probably would not have put it where it’s going) AND Reverend Jones has a right to burn Korans.
And guess what oh Muslim world?…..Just like the President has no right to make you convert to Christianity (or hide your Muslim beliefs) when you move here [UNLIKE IN MANY OF YOUR COUNTRIES!], he/she cannot make Reverend Jones not burn the Koran.
It sounds like it’s going to happen and it’s distasteful and rude and intolerant.
Personally, I would recommend unfriending the reverend and prove to the world just how peaceful you can be.
[note the ridiculous threat at the end.....unless you leave Jones alone, I'll believe that all Muslims are violent and anti free speech - similar to Rauf newest thought ....unless I build this here, the Muslim world will think America is a bigoted nation.]
I vote that I would rather not live with threats of any kind.
UPDATE: Speaking of threats….I had to laugh at this. Apparently IF Obama will personally call the Reverend Jones, then he’ll reconsider. LOL What would you do?
Read Ann Althouse too. She’s got an opinion about book burning.
