#2 I'm sure the local university's Muslim Student Union is going to have something special planned for this day, too. Probably featuring lots of Pali flags (and defaced Israeli ones).

#3 I have no idea what the church thinks it's doing.
Doesn't mean they don't know.
But one result will, or should be, that certain kinds of insulting, inciting, impolite speech are allowed to Christians, too.
Sort of a new concept.

#4 Wanna bet that some government agency decides that this transcends free speech and intervenes?

#5 One of the quicker ways to identify a rube and a knucklehead is to note who burns books.

#6 But of course! Everyone knows the Bible, Torah, and homosexuality are all widely accepted in the Muslim world.

#7 This kind of thing is rude and unnecessary.

To play devil's advocate:

It may be well placed in a way. The "moderate" muslims will see this and compare it to their own lethal riots at the slighted drummed up excuse and just have to sigh and carry on.

Those who are "radicalized" are going to get radicalized anyway.

The radicals, well, they'll just riot again, and more people will see them for what they are.

Who knows, maybe a few of them will see themselves for what they are and back off.

Besides, it's not like they're burning every last Holy Crayon.

I was tempted top put up the pic of the unnamed one who runs the Westboro Baptist "Church".
