1. A GOP NUTCASE...do ya hear any suggestions/demands from the GOP for him to stop it?

2. Notice how these guys all try to shut down the conversation by running out the clock,

talking over someone and engaging in meaningless blather?

I think we've all heard everything we need to know from this loon.

3. Since he brought up the Bosnian war...

...and the Muslims burning down a christian hospital - the Christians were hardly saints during that war. Ethnic cleansing, by rape, of the Muslims by the christian Serbians was a matter of official government policy.

Radicals in all three Abrahamic religions use their faith as an excuse to hate and kill. Reasonable people of all faiths need to speak out against the murderous hateful radicals in their midst.

4. Wow! So obvious

He will help the extremist Islamics in order to aid the extreme Christians at home in order to help our state of GWOT grow and maintain itself. What an amazing thing to see.


There us no connexion to what he gives as reasons for doing this that make nay sense. Now as to whether he has been paid to do this or is just a fellow traveler of the crypto-fascists who want to bring down the Republic and use it to grow their empire. It works either way. He is doing their work for them. The war is against not only all followers of Islam but any other religion or sect that disagrees with the Dominionist version of Christianity. That is why the Republicans aren't criticizing it. It fits into the plan as I deduce it. Even if they don't know all of the plan, most don't, and don't have to. Just carry on ravaging the Republic.

Its bad when they stop hiding what they are doing. In our society now, such local items can now be blared all over the world in a flash of electrons.

5. Heartsong - Cordova TN does it right

I'm proud that a church in my neighborhood is welcoming the Memphis Islamic Center as they are building their place of worship.

WWJD? This is WJWD.

6. This whole thing is meant to keep the WOT going....

This Terry Jones guy is a deep dark evil operative they dug up from some church in Germany... he has NEOCON writen all over him.

I don't know how much more obvious it can be to the American people that the WOT is manufactured... get our troops out now.

9. "Pastor" Jones a HS classmate of Rush.....

Limbaugh (the great divider of Americans) - Cape Girardeau (MO) Central class of 1969. Insert your own comparisons.

7. Watch Thom Hartmann's show live on Free Speech Television (FSTV) every day!

Or record it on your DVR or Tivo and watch it in the evenings like I do.

8. uh- YES!

10. Well I disagree with Thom here,.

We should be able to burn any so called religious texts freely, and ridicule all religion at every opportunity. (as that is what they deserve!) Belief in the supernatural is silly and needs to be ridiculed. This dim witted fool of a "pastor" is attempting to fan a fire between dumb-ass christines and dumb-assed muslims,. I laugh at them equally. But to say he is doing osama's work is to legitimize a stupid meme that that CIA operative had something to do with 9/11, and this is a dumb-ass assertion. 9/11 was a class war attack on the minds of america by the bankster elite, a misdirection while they pilfered the gold, and 'value' from the american middle class's savings and retirement,. to bad this technique works so well.

11. Wa Po on the Der Spiegel story on Jones in Germany

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/spy-talk/2010/09/terry_jones_too_radical_for_ge.html

Terry Jones too radical for German parish, reports say

Florida preacher Terry Jones was too radical for a church he set up in West Germany in the 1980s and was expelled last year by its board, according to European press accounts.

"Jones became increasingly radical as the years went by,” the German magazine Der Spiegel reported online, quoting “former associates” and others.

“At one point he wanted to help a homosexual member to ‘pray away his sins,’” the respected weekly said. “Later he began to increasingly target Islam in his sermons. “

According to an unnamed congregation member quoted by the magazine, “some members were afraid to attend services because they expected to be attacked by Muslims.”

Andrew Schäfer, a Protestant Church official who is charged with keeping an eye on the emergence of extremist sects in the Cologne region, told Der Spiegel that “Jones is a fundamentalist.” Germany was "central" to Jones’s alleged plans to lead the "Christian awakening of Europe," Schäfer told The Guardian newspaper of London.
