Geraldo needs to get smacked in the head with a chair again.

Kate you're going to love this: http://www.torontosun.com/news/torontoandgta/2010/09/12/15324796.html

Burn the Koran, no I wouldn't because I couldn't bring myself to hold a book that contains so many hateful passages against Non-Muslims.

Edward I think he's been hit a few times by chairs and people?

Edward Teach
[[ Geraldo needs to get smacked in the head with a chair again. ]]

And again and again and again.

Take heart....the guy who burned the KORAN before the OBAMAMOSQUE, did so unopposed and obviously with the approval of the gathering. Those who disapproved obviously kept silent out of self preservation.

The pastor in Florida may have backed off but there are numerous reports of others stepping into the breach.

Hopefully the enemies of liberty read the writing on the wall and back off and save us from the trauma of a civil war. There is nothing civil about a civil war. That will be neither fun nor cool.

Geraldo Rivera, just another awesome reason -not- to have cable tv.

Of course he did a sneak-attack smear job on Pamella Geller, that's ALL HE DOES. She should have told him to stuff it up his @$$ on national TV and strolled out of there like she owned the place.

I mean, does Geller need the likes of Geraldo to make a living and get her message out there? She's got one of the biggest blogs on earth. Geraldo needs her, is the truth.

BTW, that cartoon would be funnier if it was actual comedy and not just a description of TV in Iran.

// Geraldo epitomized the mainstream media's attempt //

So FOX is mainstream media?

Geraldo has always gotten by with his talent for persuading truly repulsive people that their necessary 15 minutes of fame is at hand courtesy of himself. It follows from this that any decent person he seeks out will just be a foil for his meal ticket of the moment.

”Someone…someone committed a hate crime…in my store…I don’t believe this…”

A very telling remark. What someone certainly did do was vandalize bookstore property. That is a crime whether it's a Quran, a Lady Gaga glossy magazine or a biography of George W. Bush.

But no, this guy revealed his "inner wienerness" by focussing on "hate".

Geraldo has always been on the edge between respectable journalism, and smarmy tabloid trash, with distinct leaning towards the latter camp. I've never really taken him seriously.

I would have walked up to the counter with a bible in one hand and koran in the other and innocently asked the hippie clerk 'can you please tell me, which one do you reccommend...for burning?'

Perfect! No wonder they hate cartoons.
Geraldo is the stuff that pond scum feed on. Poor Dave Letterman is miserable, he's made his mark with cutting political humour and he's self muzzled. Either afraid to or under journOlista vows not to joke about Obama. It's killing him and the show. He looks constantly constipated.

I actually ignored the toon the first couple times I went there this morning, mainly because I normally ignore his work.

I am still amazed it made it past the editors. Maybe the weekend editor was hungover?

”Someone…someone committed a hate crime…in my store…I don’t believe this…”

Naaaw.
No hate crime occurred.
Just a lazy employee who wasn't careful with a box cutter.

What happens at most book stores, is that you tear the cover off of a damaged unsellable book and mail the cover back to the distributor who then mails you another copy...rinse, lather, repeat...

”Someone…someone committed a hate crime…in my store…I don’t believe this…”

Yeah and when whinning and lecturing failed physical intimidation was deployed...with futility.

It's sorta like "rage boy"....it's a really a display of false offense....which whithers when confronted by "the look." "The look" has had many names "the thousand yard look" among others.... it is not learned but brutally acquired. The eyes indeed are the mirror of the soul.

I'm not a Muslim nor do I agree with their beliefs but I do not support the burning of the Koran.

Obviously the book only contains the words and in itself it could be said to be meaningless. But the same could be said about a photo of my dead child, the photograph in itself means nothing, I have copies, but the fact that someone would want to do this would hurt me.

And so with the Koran, burning a copy will hurt peopless' feelings terribly for no good reason and I don't want to be a cruel person. I will discuss with a Muslim why I think there faith is wrong and I do not take my stand because of a fear of Muslims.

Rather I would say to the Muslims, I disagree with your views but I want you to find something better. It may not catch the headlines, it may not serve any purpose, but I think that it is the more Christian way.

I kind of agree with you Paul. I would prefer a "read the disturbing stuff that's in the Koran" day.

This would open people's eyes, and actually start an important discussion, hopefully.

ERIK AND PAUL

I totally see your points and i agree but you are forgeting something .

these throwbacks will never sit down and discuss anything with you no matter how obvious you make it to them that there false death cult religon is wrong and fake .

They hate you for who you are period!!

I am all for "let's point out the stupid sh!t in the koran day " for sure that is very good but that will not change them .

Even if it changes western views towards muslims iti sn otl iek we can round em all up and ship em back so are hands are tied no matter what .

I am sorry but the truth is blood will have to be spilled in western street's before we will win this ideological war . I am sad to say that but i have now accepted it , i do not like it ,nor am i for it ,i wish peace with everyone but that darn reality keeps punching me in the face .

I wish our govornment's would just stop immigration period ..all immigration why ? because if you are aware what is happening in france is exactly what will happen to canada algerians said well if we are under french rule we can go to france and they immported there islamic disease there now look at france the muslims my friends are very smart ..and they will use your law's and kindness against you ...and france has it's hands tied they HAVE to let them in becasue they are a part of frances rule !!

If we do stop immigration then it will be time for the men and women in this country to cancel the golf trips and the self indulgence and start to reproduce awww how trajic poor little selfish self centered canadians will have to take responsibility for there country now !!! to bad so sad!!

Any way my thought's

I am going camping on September 25. I have obtained 4 Korans, which will commerate the start of my Autumn camping season. I would be more than willing to provide pictures the week after. :)

wonder if there would be more of an outcry from our ohh sooo progressive crowd if they dug in some flaming gay dude and said they were going to stone him to death for the crime of sodomy?

Just wondering if the gay community is as organized as they claim to be.

Here's the weather segment from Iranian TV ...

"Weather across Iran is perfect as always, praise be unto him.

Looking around the world of darkness, severe storms have hit Tel Aviv, praise be unto him;

Hurricane Igor is tracking west, may it hit the city of infidels and bring them pain and death, praise be unto him;

Weather is good in London, ideal for jihad, outlook, take your umbrella and your exploding suitcase, 70% chance of rain, 72 virgins."

I forgot to say. The Muslim extremists who bomb other mosques must know when they do this that they will destroy Arabic Korans by fire. Does this have any effect on them?

BTW, if it did then we could protect ourselves from a 9/11 situation by having a copy of the Arabic Koran in an inaccessible container in commercial planes.

Kate - thanks for all the linky love to Aardvarks & Asshats! It's much appreciated!

Geraldo is on Fox. Is there any more proof needed that Fox News is fair and balanced? A real right wing outfit wouldn't have Mr Tabloid on the air. His appearance on the screen triggers an automatic channel change.

I wonder if it will come to the burning of a Koran
for every US or Canadian soldier killed in Afstan.

Just wondering , under sheria law are infidels allowed to own weapons ?

Rather I would say to the Muslims, I disagree with your views but I want you to find something better. It may not catch the headlines, it may not serve any purpose, but I think that it is the more "Liberal" way.

Fixed it for ya Red-tory or is that Diet Con?

Burning books is a non starter it is just a book. Yea I know Hitler burned books so what his greater crime was burning people. I have read both the Koran and Mien Kampf. A single word came to mind reading them Madness.

Since once you have read a book it then belongs to you and if you are moved to burn it then so what. Myself before I ground it up I ripped out the Page that tells them to cut my head off it we are in a battle. I kept this page to remind me that if I am ever I this situation use force with great prejudice.

I have bitdefenders incinerator on my computer , so if i dowload a copy of the qura or koran or whatever the spelling of the week is does it count if i send it there ?

Those of you with an out house may want to consider hanging a koran inside for paper, you already have the crescent moon on the door. your very own little mosque on the back forty.

Burning a book could be an expression of interest or great disgust. I thought it was all about the expression. After all, no one would complain if Bibles were burned.
My point is that people rush to defend great principles when it suits them but will not be discerning. Are people defending the Koran and Islam because they respect the religion and its adherents, or that the great ideal of freedom of worship must be protected or that the enemy of their enemy is their friend even if that enemy is a misogynist animal and THEIR enemy is conservative?

Since the author of this blog thinks that burning the Koran is a good idea, why doesn't she host a Koran burning event? Yes, that is challenge. Come on, Kate, do it. Time to step away from the computer chair and show everyone that you actually have a little conviction behind your musings.

cantuc, you could automate that! Have it copy and shred a mile a minute, all day and all night long.

Osumashi Kinyobe said: "...people rush to defend great principles when it suits them but will not be discerning."

Oh, absolutely. All the same idiots who told us stupid conservatives off for complaining about the crucifix in urine a couple years ago are the ones defending the Obama mosque and decrying the burning of Korans. About which they care not a single damn.

But, it suits their agenda. Which is hatred and contempt for conservatives and America in general. More and more people are seeing that these days, I think we are getting to the end of it now.

Yes Rob, I'm talking about you. Some guy burned a bible in Pakistan today Rob, where's your outrage? Retard.

I'd burn my Koran( paperback, Penguin ) but it's stuck down in my toilet plumbing somewhere.

Maybe when the septic tank is pumped in a few years, I can recover it.

Then I'll burn it.

It's kind of funny, but did you know the most respectful way to dispose of an unneeded (damaged or otherwise) Icon or Bible is by burning?

Bibles/Korans and other holy books have been printed for centuries; does anyone think that they all still exist?

How someone disposes of their personal property should be of no concern to anyone else.

I am really disappointed by this post and the link to Ardvarks and Asshats. I've been reading this forum off and on for a while now, refreshed to find what I thought was an open forum for intelligent debate, but what I've found today, instead, was decidedly dumb and ignorant. I'm very surprised at the amount of people who are supporting burning a book, no matter what it is. You're talking about defending freedom and exercising your freedom of speech on this forum but still shine what seems like a light of approval for burning what is used to communicate our freedom: a book. I think that's more than a little contradictory, and really below what I thought this forum/blog was about. Not only that, I fail to see how taking a stand against an entire religion really says anything accurate about the tragedy of 911 and the efforts to eliminate the threat terrorism, especially in our country and the US. That seems like an ignoratnt statement, like saying "All Muslims are evil." Not only is that ignorant, its racist as well. This sort of attitude sheds a negative light on Conservatives, too, suggesting that the difference between the right and left is how much of a small minded, book-burning idiot one is, labels I'd like to avoid. I've realized that Small Dead Animals may be teetering on the edge of just what it stands against, and for that I'll have to end my visits, which is really too bad for me, I guess. Kate, I thought you were above this sort of thing.

@NP Navy

Are you gonna be okay pal?

"Not only is that ignorant, its racist as well"
Define race

NP Navy:

I guess most of the people commenting on this blog have looked up the blog "Religion Of Peace" and have decided it is time to start pushing back before it is too late. The burning of a Koran is minor compared to what is coming in the future!

@NP Navy

The rational basis for your opinion is faulty in that you are incorrectly assuming like many sheep that there is such a thing as a "moderate muslim."

This is impossible by the very tenents of Islam. According to the Suuna and Hadith such muslim is an apostate....not a muslim....who must be killed.

Hence our definition of a good muslim is what the muslims call an apostate...a condemned man.

like saying "All Muslims are evil."

...no but MOST Terrorists are Muslims!! (and they are not a race)

Islam is not a race, it's a demolition derby.

NP Navy

What U means in case your too dense to figure it out.....

......Muslims are not a race!

From Pamela Geller: "Defending America is not extreme. Truth has become extreme. Truth is the new hate speech."

From a letter she quoted: "You are fighting directly with half a century of highly evolved, organized political correctness of all western societies, that have been monstrously deformed and hijacked by what I have long called The New Stalinism."

The extreme left would like to disrupt western society by any means possible, all part of the well-known "political correctness agenda". Today, obviously, that includes egging on the radical Islamists, whom the extreme left is playing like a violin.

That cartoon reporter looks like Mohammed!

Too me anyway.

N.P.:

"but still shine what seems like a light of approval for burning what is used to communicate our freedom: a book. I think that's more than a little contradictory, and really below what I thought this forum/blog was about. Not only that, I fail to see ..."
Please enlighten us: what is in the Qu'ran that 'supports freedom'?

N.P. you fail to see the fact that conservatives are standing up for individual freedoms where politicians and media have worked up a faux frenzy of 'do not offend'.
N.P. and friends seem to be blinded to the fact that Sharia takes away individual freedom. Book burning?...nothing compared to a woman exposing a bit of skin, or reading a Bible.Loss of life is abit more drastic than loss of paper.
And conservatives seem to be more aware of the 'offensive' hateful speeches by immans that resonate in mosques around the world.

N.P. pay attention: that's conservative, small c.

Not that I'm trying to start something, but, any truth to the rumour that the toilet paper sheets in Russian out-houses have Persian script?

Ooo-la, ooo-la, ooo-la, ooo-la, Death to Great Satanski! Ooo-la, ooo-la, ooo-la...

Well, after burning a Koran saturday, somehow, someway, I feel cleansed.

Youtube deleted it 3 times, maybe I should stop calling it Burning Koran ?

Well Navy, having been kicked off several blogs and leaving more than I can count, my advise to you is, don't let the door hit ya on the way out.
,
Film at 10:00.

It seems that some people (NP, one of the Pauls) don't get the idea of tolerance.

Tolerance does not require you to seek out the opinions of others and govern your actions in a way not to offend;
it requires you to respect the actions of others, offensive as you might find them.

Individual freedom is the foundation of our society and it is under attack by religions and other special interest groups.

NP Navey said: "I'm very surprised at the amount of people who are supporting burning a book, no matter what it is."

I'd say you've completely missed the point if you think this was all about supporting Koran burners. The people burning the Koran on Saturday, with the possible exception of Joe Sixpack at the Ground Zero Mosque demonstration, are all doing it as a publicity stunt. As in, for money. I'd have to be an idiot to fall for that.

(The Ground Zero guy just walked up, torched a Koran, made a little "f- you guys!" speech and walked away. That's a proper statement of intent, you ask me. Very New York.)

The "muslim outrage" across the ocean is likewise all publicity stunts for money. People die so imam Raouf can have a new Mercedes. Nice, eh?

What I and most people here are commenting on is the abject cowardice of our Ruling Class masters on the world stage, bending over for Muslim publicity seekers abroad to hush up Christian publicity seekers at home. The fricking President of the United States sicced the FBI on that wanker preacher in Florida. Very two tier.

IMHO its worth a couple of burnt paperbacks to call their bluff. To deliver the message both to the Muslims and the Ruling Class. Message being, "We are not putting up with your sh1t anymore." If that's all it takes we will be extremely fortunate.

You should read more carefully, eh?

After discovering that 84% of textual Islam is in the Sunna (Hadith and Sira) I now, and foroever more -- or before my be-heading whichever comes first -- will refer to them as Mohammedans.

I would respectfully ask all infidels with Mohammedan friends to ask them what it is in Mohammed's life that they feel is most worthy of emulation.
I believe this approach will handily dispense with the taqiyya bullshit.

I read today that Mohammedan Rauf wishes for Israel to de-exist. How's that for "bridge building".

Posted by: The Phantom>

In reality, how many of the worlds 1.5 billion Muslims are literate enough to read a Koran?

Answer: Very few.

Just heard this on CTV, dealing with the "concern" of one Imam Rauf over the objections to the Ground Zero situation.

"Mosques vandalized across the country".

The camera cut to one Paul Workman, I presume it was his statement, if not I stand to be corrected.

Mosques vandalized across the country indeed!!! Details please CTV.
