2. Wow. I was just discussing this photo with a friend and wondering if I could find it.

Thanks for posting. The photo is so moving - it needs no words.

6. That's just what they want you to think

And then BAM! All of a sudden, you're living in peace with your neighbors, and where's the profit in that for the likes of Dick Cheney and Erik Prince? You libruls just never think about how you're hurting the wealthy with your "tolerance" for "diversity."

8. Is this amongst a collection or did someone take a picture of just this grave?

9. If you will be so kind as to look at the last line of the OP

the text of the link includes the word slideshow. Let alone the project described at the link.

10. I plagarized the link, image and subject line. I hope you don't mind.

A friend was taking heat for a FB post condemning the FL Quran burning. Some of the comments parroted the "the Koran specifically calls for eliminating infidels" Fox News meme so I basically stole your whole post as a rebuttal. It was the perfect opportunity and steered the discussion more towards the side of tolerance.

So Thanks! :toast:

Bullets and bombs don't discriminate.

17. yeah I'll just put this on my FB page for saturday. Colo Springs is full of folks supporting this

gazette.com ran an editorial where the local douchebag Wayne says "they burn bibles over there!" so, that makes thes folks in FLA ok. He says "its their right to do this, and of course literally, it is the same as burning our flag. free speech by expression. So he hides behind that. The reader comments are INSANE!!

the point is, if 20 million folks told these dumbshit 50 church members that this was BULLSHIT, they probably wouldnt do it. The problem is, they have an equal number of folks saying by inaction that it is ok.

The hypocrisy is the right would be having fucking conniption fits if a mosque community were going to burn bibles here, in this country.

19. I'm posting it too on my page.

[Altoid_Cyclist]

21. Thank you and Pasto76 for the idea. Also, thank you TD for the OP.

I'm new to Facebook and forgot about that option.

It probably won't go over well with my small circle of friends, but the truth isn't always pretty or popular.

[Bluenorthwest]

20. such a moving image

I wish peace to the family of brave American Kareem Kahn, and to us all. This image is almost too much to bear. Salaam.
