Hi WilliB, I am sorry if I pissed you off with my request for tolerance.
Really, that was what my posting was about.
Perhaps because of the way I posted my last message, then you felt I was promoting my own religion.
No.
The most wonderful person I have ever met, was from Vietnam and she was Buddhist.
I am afraid that I have never met anyone who was "Sikkhism, Zoroastrianism, Bahaism or Jainism."
I would like to speak with them. Actually, talk.
In my last posting, I tried to capitalize a couple of words, just to make clear where was my upbringing. I feel that does affect how I post my opinion. So, I felt I should make clear my religion.
True to tell, I thought, this news article was inflammatory. In my opinion, it was just another excuse for the religious intolerant to be violent toward the silent majority.
Now, I must take hatred toward your quote : "While desecrating the 9/11 site is A-OK, of course. We got it."
You are a complete [edited].
I assume you refer to the proposed Islamic building which will probably be built near the site of the atrocity that happened on September 11.
It is my opinion, that, this building, is constructed, in great danger, to those who make the building.
It is my opinion that they risk their lives to build this structure. Why should they construct such a building?
You, of course, have the answer. It is not the right answer.

OK, I'm the guy who listed earlier. I am Roman Catholic, not Islamic.
Please do not desecrate the name of the Q'uran. It would be like naming the Bible, the Bbile.
The true name of the Q'uran is in another language, not English. It is: لقرآن
If you should hear the name of the Q'uran spoken by a believer, it is a very pretty word.
Please, please, do this holy work, justice.

"That is a scurrilous lie."
Please, Calm down, kiddo. Yes, this was a "scurrilous," which means, "vulgar and obscene."
I knew(spelling?) that I would post a very bad listing.
I am sorry, I apologize to you specifically; and I apologize to this board.
However, I must defend my view.
As much as I can, I will defend the best of the folk of the Islamic faith to whom I woud trust my daughters (should I have such). My wife. Yes, if she needed protecting, and I could not protect her, I would give her to the folk at the gas station.
Here, is now the point of my posting.
With every religion, there are extremists. EVERY RELIGION.
I do not care what the religion is. I do not care the EXUSE that is used to murder others of another faith.
I just find that to be an EXCUSE.
Great. With this news article, They have ANOTHER reason to destroy. Wonderful.
What should all Americans do? Should we dig holes into which we hide our sorry little lives? Should we fear the Islamic extremists? Should we hide away because of this NEW excuse for destruction?
I ask you -- what should we, as Americans, do? Should we fear the Islamic extremists? Should we die under our beds?
Should the Islamic extremists win?

"They said destruction of Qurans would inflame tensions and put Americans abroad at risk."
Let us understand this. In Afghanistan, in August, there have been 22 American deaths from IED's (Improvised Explosive Devices). In Iraq this month, the only American death was from an IED. And of course, the slaughter of American civilians on September 11 numbered in the thousands.
I believe, no matter what this little church in America will do, changes nothing. Extremists of the Islamic faith will continue to murder -- regardless of the excuse.
