Pro-Terry Jones Forces Begin to Coalesce; Ann Barnhardt Denounces General Petraeus and Senator Graham

Terry Jones, Last American Standing

With all the world demeaning Pastor Terry Jones as an "idiot," a "moron," or a "dope," some few voices are emerging to support Jones.  I am one of those voices.  One of the biggest voices is that of Lawrence Auster of View From the Right.

Auster mentions Ann Barnhardt of Colorado, who made a video response to General Petraeus and Senator Lindsey Graham, after the two called for restraint of the First Amendment with regard to Islam.  Barnhardt blasts both men with fury and righteousness, then reads hateful passages from the Koran, just before ripping out the offending page and burning it.  Her readings show why the Koran is such an evil book and why it deserves the flames -- it calls for murder, deceit, torture, rape and homosexual pedophilia.

This young woman does indeed have more balls than most men.  Her two videos are embedded below.

When Book Burning is a GOOD THING, Glenn Beck

Last night I watched Glenn Beck.  He was discussing the Koran burning by Pastor Terry Jones and the subsequent murderous temper tantrum of the Muslims of Afghanistan.

Beck can be brilliant at times.  He can also be obtuse.  He labeled those who burn the Koran as "book burners."

Ah, the term "book burner" is one of those convenient phrases that remove the necessity of logical argument and rational thinking from any debate.  The  term simply brings up all the right images, i.e. negative ones.  Enough said.  No need to explain.

Well gee, didn't Nazis burn books?  Yes they did, primarily books by Jewish scholars.  Now we have a book, the Koran, that is highly antisemitic, filled with Jew hatred and whose author would have agreed with the Nazis, particularly about the "final solution."  But we can't burn it, because book burning in every case is a nefarious act.  Or is it?

Would it be a negative to burn Mein Kampf?   Or The Turner Diaries, the book that inspired Timothy McVeigh to blow up a federal building?  How about instructional manuals on how to build bombs to use in terrorism, or how to murder someone without getting caught?  Books on those subjects do exist.

What I am saying to Glenn Beck and others with their heads anally inserted is this:  book burning can be a very good thing.  It all depends on the book.  The Koran is one of those books that should be burned.

Mark Steyn on "Mollifying Muslims and Muslifying Mollies"

Mark Steyn is right on the money (as usual) in describing our psychological need to appease Muslims.  He writes in his article "Mollifying Muslims, and Muslifying Mollies":

Take this no-name pastor from an obscure church who was threatening to burn the Koran. He didn’t burn any buildings or women and children. He didn’t even burn a book. He hadn’t actually laid a finger on a Koran, and yet the mere suggestion that he might do so prompted the President of the United States to denounce him, and the Secretary of State, and the commander of US forces in Afghanistan, various G7 leaders, and golly, even Angelina Jolie. President Obama has never said a word about honor killings of Muslim women. Secretary Clinton has never said a word about female genital mutilation. General Petraeus has never said a word about the rampant buggery of pre-pubescent boys by Pushtun men in Kandahar. But let an obscure man in Florida so much as raise the possibility that he might disrespect a book – an inanimate object – and the most powerful figures in the western world feel they have to weigh in.

Aside from all that, this obscure church’s website has been shut down, its insurance policy has been canceled, its mortgage has been called in by its bankers. Why? As Diana West wrote, why was it necessary or even seemly to make this pastor a non-person? Another one of Obama's famous "teaching moments"? In this case teaching us that Islamic law now applies to all? Only a couple of weeks ago, the President, at his most condescendingly ineffectual, presumed to lecture his moronic subjects about the First Amendment rights of Imam Rauf. Where's the condescending lecture on Pastor Jones' First Amendment rights?

Lawrence Auster: Why People Burn Korans

        
Lawrence Auster describes why people burn Korans.  He writes:

What is the message of the Koran burners? It is, very simply: “We reject the vicious and evil ideology of Islam.” This is a very positive development. Once people recognize that the Koran is the problem, they have gone beyond the “moderate Islam” / “radical Islam” distinction which paralyzes true thought on the subject. They are recognizing that Islam itself is the problem.

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Auster also linked to this blog that shows numerous Koran burnings for the 9/11 anniversary.  Note the first graphic that comes up -- it's a graphic I created a couple of years ago.  Good to see that some people find it useful.

Kumbaya Conservatives: Parroting the PC Propaganda Line on 9/11

Nine years ago today, 19 Muslims hijacked commercial aircraft and flew them into planned targets.  Two destroyed the Twin Towers in Manhattan and another plowed into the Pentagon.  A fourth plane plowed into a field in Pennsylvania after the passengers revolted, causing the terrorists to abort.  It is believed that the fourth plane was to crash into either the White House or the Capitol Building.

The force behind these atrocities was a violent and hateful ideology, i.e., Islam.  The dictates of this evil "religion" are documented in its chief "holy" book, the Koran.  The goals of Islam are clear:  to forcibly convert the entire world to Islam and install Sharia law throughout.  To further that goal, no atrocity against the "infidel" is off the table.  Three hundred school children are murdered in Beslan, Russia; bombs are set off in London and Madrid, killing many; and a four man cadre of Muslims attacks Mumbai, India with AK47 rifles, killing around three hundred innocent souls.

Now we have a lone Christian pastor, of a small church in Florida, who has the strength of character to place the blame for these atrocities where it belongs: on Islam and its evil book, the Koran.  So when he plans to burn the contemptible tome, he soon finds himself the pariah of the entire world.  Liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans alike are outraged, and the lone pastor is soon smothered with epithets and ad hominem attacks, and intimidated into backing down.  For trying to exercise his First Amendment rights, he is visited by the FBI, has his website suspended, the loan on his church property called, and his church's insurance policy cancelled.  Then there are the numerous death threats he has received from domestic members of this alien ideology.

I don't care what liberals or Democrats say, they are insane and it is expected that they will always side with evil.  But to hear conservatives doing it is truly disgusting.  Many conservative bloggers have felt the need to describe the pastor as some kind of lunatic for wanting to symbolically reject Islam by burning their holy book.  They do not refer to him as "the pastor," but "the moron pastor" or "this sad figure" or "whack job" or some other derogatory description. A herd mentality can be seen throughout the right wing blogosphere, with all the me-too bloggers piling on in an attempt to make themselves appear righteous and enlightened.  So on the eve of the ninth anniversary of Islam's attack on America, we have countless conservative bloggers rushing to protect the Koran and show respect and deference to the ideology that brought down the Twin Towers and murdered 3,000 Americans.

Few conservative bloggers have discussed the content of the Koran, the violent dogmas of Islam, or the reason to burn or not to burn  the Koran.  They have simply declared it "wrong" without saying why, or by mouthing some inane observation that book burning is "lame" or "ignorant."  Apparently, whenever a vile dogma is written down and published in a book, that vile dogma becomes somehow sacrosanct and untouchable.  Who made up that rule?

Yesterday I bought a cheap paperback copy of the Koran.  Today I will put it in my fire pit and apply a lighted match to the rotten little book, the source of millions of deaths and countless crimes against humanity.  And if you think that is wrong then you are the one who is willfully ignorant.

Five Good Reasons to Burn the Koran on September 11

The wimpy Bill O'Reilly has stated that no one should be allowed to burn the Koran because "the sole purpose of this is to intimidate people and inflict emotional damage."  Here are some real reasons for burning the Koran, Bill, you pinhead.

Reasons for Burning the Koran on September 11:
1.  It is a symbolic act, signifying that we hold the Islamic ideology fully responsible for the attack on America of September 11, 2001, and that we will brook no excuse or rationalization from Imams like Feisal Abdul Rauf.

2.  It is a symbolic act that we will not allow Islamic extremism, violence and the threat of violence to cause us to suspend the First Amendment to our Constitution or self-censor to appease a barbarian ideology.

3.  It is a symbolic act, signifying that we utterly reject Islam as a legitimate religion, not merely because of its theology, but because of its totalitarian goals to rule the world through force, its oppression of women, gays and non-Muslims, and its cruelty, intolerance and violence.

4.  It is a symbolic act of our determination to resist and to defeat Islamic aggression against the West, and to ensure the survival of Western Civilization.

5.  It is a symbolic statement that we find Islam to be utterly incompatible with western democracy and our belief that Islam has no place in America.

I will be driving to Barnes & Noble this afternoon to hopefully purchase a cheap paperback Koran, which I will then burn in my backyard fire pit tomorrow.  If I can, I will film the burning and post it on YouTube.
