Would a Quran still burn if the media was not there?Last I heard, the pinheaded pastor has called it off. He's had his ten seconds in the limelight, and most of his flock have deserted him.As for "Bible thumpers" as you call them, there are many against this, but most are far right, radical, sorts, like the douchebag in Gainsville, FL.
I'd actually argue there are more people wanting the government to force the Pastor in Florida not to burn the koran, than want the government to stop the building of the mosque.
There's two sides to radicalism in any religion. Not pretty whichever way you look at it.
I would say it is a football field away. Speaking of football, Mizzou beat previously undefeated perennial powerhouse McNeese State 50-6!To those who cling to the argument that the Mosque is being built two blocks away...

Speaking of football and distances. While we're correcting the record on if this is considered "Ground Zero" or not...I would say it is a football field away. Speaking of football, Mizzou beat previously undefeated perennial powerhouse McNeese State 50-6!
http://www.weeklysta...o-mosque?page=2AP, New York Times: While You Are Correcting the Record About the Ground Zero Mosque ...
Stop with the "New York" Giants, "New York" Jets, and "Washington" Redskins.
BY Daniel Halper
The AP and New York Times have decided to avoid using the term the "Ground Zero mosque." Why? Well, because the proposed 'Islamic cultural center' is not just a mosque (though it would contain a mosque) and because it's not right at Ground Zero (but a whole two blocks from Ground Zero).
Allow me to submit, in the name of accuracy and integrity in journalism, a few corrections for the Associated Press and New York Times to consider:
– Both consistently (and erroneously) call a football team that is housed in New Jersey the New York Giants (emphasis is my own).
Correction: The New York Giants are not in New York. To call them the “New York” Giants is itself a disgrace. Please correct the record immediately. I’ll defer to the map:

Wherein A is where the football team plays (in the Meadowlands, New Jersey) and B is the line dividing the states of New Jersey and New York. Driving distance: Approximately 6 miles.
I propose, for the sake of accuracy and integrity, that the AP and New York Times call the New York Giants the “Giants Located Near New York.”
– The New York Times and AP shamefully commit the same fallacy when referring to that other New Jersey football team – the Jets – which they call the "New York Jets." The Jets play in the same stadium as the Giants, so the map above serves as a good reference.
Proposed correction: How about, for the sake of consistency, the "Jets Located Near New York."
– The New York Times and AP, again, refer to a football team by its wrong location. The "Washington" Redskins do not play in Washington, D.C. They are housed in Landover, Maryland. I'll defer to the map:

Wherein A is where the football team plays (in Landover, Maryland) and B is the line dividing the state of Maryland and Washington, D.C. Driving distance: Approximately 6 miles.
Proposed name, for the sake of accuracy: The Landover Redskins. Now that's a team I could get behind.
To be fair to the New York Times and AP, there are numerous examples of places that are located near, but not in, the location that their name indicates.
Take, for example, Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. In Washington, D.C.? Nope. It's in Arlington, Virginia.
What about Washington Dulles International Airport? Not in Washington, D.C., either. That's in Sterling, Virginia.
Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport? You guessed it: Not in Baltimore or Washington, D.C. That would be Hanover, Maryland.
Which brings us back to the Associated Press and New York Times, and accuracy and integrity in journalism.
Apparently, with regard to the proposed Islamic cultural center that would house a mosque, Ground Zero only encompasses the exact site of the Twin Towers, where thousands of Americans were murdered by Islamists on September 11. If, say, a building were to have pieces from the wreckage, including the landing gear of a plane that was flown into the Twin Towers, on its site on September 11, then it still does not constitute being at Ground Zero. At least, that is the case with the site that this Islamic cultural center with a mosque would sit on.
Look, AP and New York Times, I'm all for accuracy and integrity in journalism. All I ask is that you be consistent in your standards when covering the Giants, Jets, and Redskins.
Would a fart still stink if there's nobody to share it with?Would a Quran still burn if the media was not there?
Difference being that they call themselves that.Speaking of football and distances. While we're correcting the record on if this is considered "Ground Zero" or not...I would say it is a football field away.

So all your willing to do is shoot off your mouth about things you know nothing about.......right? Thought so.Actually, I just realized that I can't even afford that this month. I apologize, but must retract my wager.
Exactly, the Muslims desire that specific spot because it is their intention to have a victory monument to the terrorist attacks of 9/11.
Can you feel the love?You have to know your screwed up when your on the same side of an arguement with Builder who is so stupid he believes 9/11 was an inside job.
But your in good company Builder, one of the imams who preachs and will preach at this mosque is on record as also saying that 9/11 was an inside job and Muslims had nothing to do with it.Can you feel the love?You have to know your screwed up when your on the same side of an arguement with Builder who is so stupid he believes 9/11 was an inside job.
I can see ya now, Marshall, with one six shooter in your right hand, an' one o' the same in the other hand.We cannot appease the terrorists Joker, they are not motivated by what your motivated with, you think "be nice" and they will be nice back, and your wrong.
Your not that far from the truth, while we had a very strong leader who was very clear about his being willing to knock the **** out of people, we didn't have any attacks, the terrorists lost almost all interest in coming to America to attack us, but during weak Presidents like Clinton and Obama, we have attack, after attack, after attack.I can see ya now, Marshall, with one six shooter in your right hand, an' one o' the same in the other hand.We cannot appease the terrorists Joker, they are not motivated by what your motivated with, you think "be nice" and they will be nice back, and your wrong.
Not flinchin' not fussin'. Just a'waitin'.
Being as your the wacko talking about 9/11 conspiracies and such that would make you the attention ***** my friend, not me.Are you on crystal meth? or what?
Sounds to me like you're just craving attention, my friend.
I'm sure that in a country as populated and proud as your own, there's gotta be some place that would welcome your kinda propaganda with open arms.
Good luck with your search.
Builder, signing out now. Seeya on the board sometime, chum.

I offered you pure fact, under Clinton we had tons of attacks and the biggest attack of 9/11 was planned and the terrorists were here in America during almost all of his two terms. So the result of 8 years of a progressive mostly kissing their behinds was more attacks and the 9/11 plan.
So I guess JFK saying no to operation Northwoods and sacking the plotters of an attack on Americans, along with staged terrorist attacks on American soil, hijacking planes and substituting drones painted up to look like commercial jets, was more "progressive" bullshit, TJ?
