Fred Phelps' daughter: 'Westboro Church has already burned Qurans'

By Donald Bradley and Rick Montgomery | The Kansas City Star

One of those angry at a Florida preacher's plans to mark Sept. 11 by setting fire to copies of the Quran is Shirley Phelps Roper, a leader of the Westboro Baptist Church.

While she joins Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Gen. David Petraeus, the White House, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and many more, Phelps-Roper, Fred Phelps' lawyer daughter, is hardly a voice for religious tolerance.

Her irritation Wednesday was not that the Rev. Terry Jones and his Dove World Outreach Center's planned bonfire would offend Muslims worldwide and probably increase the danger to American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq.

It's that in 2008 she and her father's Topeka flock set fire to a Quran in plain view on a Washington, D.C., street and nobody seemed to care.

8. "Hey! Being obnoxious, bigoted assholes is OUR thing!"

"Why are these poseurs in Florida getting all the publicity for Q'uran burning when we did it first? We'll burn more Q'urans! And bigger ones! We'll show them! And we'll throw in a few Bhagavad Gitas while we're at it! NOBODY is more offensive than we are, and we'll prove it! Call the media, NOW!"

15. What a crock of shit this is,

"probably increase the danger to American soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq."

If those fuckers in Iraq and Afghanistan can/could kill US servicemen in their countries they would/do. This act changes nothing at all. It doesn't make our service people anymore targets than they already are.

17. Attention whores...

[HankyDubs]

18. LOOKIT MEEEEE

Seeeeee? I can burn a Koran too!!! Why isn't anyone freaking out about MEEEEEEE?

It's almost like screetching "God Hates Fags" just doesn't bring the media like it used to.

I wonder if these freaks ever consider how closely they resemble the "Moooslum extreemists" they hate so much.

21. If Shirley really believed in God, she'd fly to the Middle East and do it again, in person

I mean, what could possibly happen?

[IcyPeas]

22. oh yeah.... well my daddy can beat your daddy up... so there
