Anyone in Gainesville want to steal my idea on Burn a Quran Day?
My suggestion is that you show up and just stick a Bible and/or a copy of the Constitution on the fire. And bring a camera. Fun for the whole family.

1. I'd rather burn copies of Glenn Beck's and Sarah Palin's books.

3. Death wish. But funny. (They probably wouldn't mind burning the Constitution - just not the FLAG).

5. Burning books is not cool
Who wants to emulate these cretins anyway? Sounds like a sure-fire way to get one's ass kicked - a way, by the way, that you are encouraging OTHERS to do instead of yourself. Fun for the whole family, my ass!

6. The guy wants to prove that America isn't afraid to burn the Quaran.
He says this from thousands of miles away while protected by the world's largest military.

If this is about bravery, then he should personally go to Afghanistan and burn it THERE.

7. Why has this hateful nitwit even get air time?
The world, and I'd say especially Florida, is full of fundamentalist pinheads. So this one wants attention and comes up with a hateful gimmick. Why has the media given him even a moment of air time? Even an ounce of responsible judgement would have kept this from becoming an international issue.

9. People seem to foget that Florida is still the Bible Belt
I work in a school district in Naples. They have some "christian" church suing the school district for not allowing them distribute Bibles on school property. If I was there, I would take all their Bibles and throw them in the closest garbage dump.

Oh, I so have to get out of this state.
