Dearborn Prosecutors Predict Riot, Gunplay
2011-04-19
Pastor Jones of Florida wants to protest in front of mosque on Good Friday.

#12  FBI, ATF, CIA, DEA, IRS, DHS, DNC, ACORN, ACLU, CBC, NAACP, CAIR, Secret Service, and Department of Agriculture investigations no doubt pending on Jones already. I doubt he will survive.

#8  "State Shintoism . . . was a totalitarian, supremacist and aggressive ideology."

Bambi would absolutely love that.

#7  Paraphrasing Jones' statement from the MyFoxDETROIT.com video:
'We're not protesting Islam. We're protesting Sharia and Jihad.'

Why is that even controversial? Why is it so commonplace to thoughtlessly vilify Jones to this extent?

Is there any reason to believe that an Islam practising Jihad, Sharia and Dhimmitude could coexist with a free and open Western society?

US policy towards Japan after WW2 was to tolerate Shintoism as a religion and competitor in the free marketplace of ideas. Simultaneously State-Shintoism was abolished as it was a totalitarian, supremacist and aggressive ideology.

A religion that was older than Islam was forced to undergo change for the better, on pain of nuclear strikes. And it was a success!

Why then is Jones cast a villain for peacefully demanding that Islam undertake similar reforms?

#5  Terry Jones' planned demonstration at the Islamic Center of America on the Dearborn/Detroit border poses a "likelihood of a riot ensuing, complete with discharge of firearms."

It would not be Pastor Jones who was violent or brought the firearms to the demonstration.

University of Detroit Mercy law professor Larry Dubin said it attempts to balance free speech rights and the public's right to be safe.

Recently, SCOTUS came down on the side of free speech in the Westboro Baptist case.

If muslims are promising violence shouldn't they be footing the bill for extra police protection?

#4  So, It's okay to put a crucifix in urine and call it art and make a painting of the virgin Mary using elephant dung and it's even okay for the Taliban to destroy Hindu statues that were thousands of years old and it's even okay to kill a few Danish cartoonists and writers but burning a Quran is not?....

"This is a violation of Christianity," Rowe said. "This is a violation of Judaism. This is a violation of Hinduism. This is a violation of every major faith in the world."


Except, it isn't. It's an expression of one faith against another. It's an essential element of religious freedom.

The problem isn't with the guy saying provocative things. It's with the animals who can't control themselves.
