Haven't we established that Muslims operate under a hive mind? After all, any terrorist attack by a Muslim extremist automatically means that all Muslims are guilty of terrorism.

I can see where he'd get confused.

ohpleaseohpleaseohplease

The epic shiatstorm will make for fascinating television tomorrow.

I don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand, burning the Quoran is disgusting.

On the other hand, if this guy really did burn the Quoran, he'd get a Salman Rushdie style fatwa, and we'd never have to hear from him again.

So its a toss up.

Religious people lying? Whatever next?!

I have to wonder what exactly did happen here, but I generally do assume blame must fall on the stupidest link, the Gainesville dumbass has to be the one at fault.

Someone should set ablaze a pile of bibles upwind of this lunatic. Let him have a taste of his own insanity.

Diogenes: He should have taken the opening Petraeus gave him to back out of this situation while preserving some semblance of face. Now he's stuck and his attempts to step back from the brink are getting loonier and sucking in even more hapless victims.

Wait. Are we talking about the crazy pastor or republicans as a whole?

Barfmaker: Hehe, I wonder if someone trolled him by pretending to be the mosque guy.

That would be brilliant.

@ Yahoo : ITS NOT A farkING MOSQUE YOU STUPID farkING MORANS!!

When all else fails, double down. You can't possibly lose.

2wolves: Unfortunately this junior genius doesn't know when he's in over his abilities.

Either that, or he's delusional--in the literal, medical sense.

Pump him full of Risperdal and see what happens.

I enjoyed this news story just as much as when I read it yesterday on Fark Old news is so exciting! (new window)

Normally I'd biatch about how many times different iterations of this story has been posted to Fark but it makes perfect sense here. After all this guy is just trollin us all, what better place for a successful troll than Fark where it will drive pageviews just as it's driving news reads and show viewers.

The difference between a story and a non-story really seems to be the number of bites you get.

What do you do with a child that throws a tantrum? You ignore them, and they stop. All they are looking for is attention.

Stop paying attention to this man.

Now Paging Attention Whore

I think it would be hilarious if he went through with his Quran-burning event, and somebody walked up with a bible, made sure everyone could see what it was, and then tossed it onto the fire. Even better, if the "Christians" attacked. That would be fscking priceless.

coyote71: Haven't we established that Muslims operate under a hive mind? After all, any terrorist attack by a Muslim extremist automatically means that all Muslims are guilty of terrorism.

I can see where he'd get confused.

It is the same way that people assume that Christians or Republicans or Tea Party Members or Liberals or Free Masons have a hive mind.

People like making that assumption here. This way it is easy to slam an entire group instead of just one nut job.

Just Do what George Bush did when he was stuck

Jesus told me this Morning ......

except leave off the invade Iraq and Afghanistan and torture people part of the Bush Quote

I think this guy is a media whore, but he has a point.

When they burn our flag and murder our people, we are told to be tolerant. But when this guy just threatens to burn their stupid book, they threaten total war. Why aren't they expected to be tolerant like we are expected to be?

Chariset: Why do these idiots get airtime alongside persons who genuinely know what they're talking about?

When did they let them on the air? Is that new?

This man is a coward. He chose to cowardly burn the holy book of another religion hoping for a few moments of local fame, then he cowardly begged people to give him a way out when he was called out on it, and then he finally invented this story to wimp out on taking some responsibility for his own actions and call off a mistake.

Although i guess with all the changes the english language has had since i was young, its not PC to use the term "coward" anymore. I understand its now acceptable to use "Real American" instead.

"he'd get a Salman Rushdie style fatwa, and we'd never have to hear from him again."

What? Rushdie didn't have to lay that low, he kept writing books and banging really hot younger women.

He should meet with the ground zero mosque Imam guy in an vacant warehouse, give them both pistols, and let them play "Reservoir Dogs".

On the other hand, if this guy really did burn the Quoran, he'd get a Salman Rushdie style fatwa, and we'd never have to hear from him again.


Yeah, because Salman Rushdie has been completely incognito and has has no success after that silly fatwa was issued. Knighthood, 13 other books, wealth, awards, fame and......Have you seen his wife?! Holy crap, makes me want to go and blaspheme to get some ass like that.


The one assassination attempt against him, the moran blew himself up.

Rushdie is a pimp.

If this was about building bridges and all that like they say, they would take Trumps offer.

I heard that on NPR today. Some imam putting up a multi-million dollar center that is going to bring in tons of donations is going to not do it so some white trash hillbilly won't burn some books? yeeaaahhhh right.

The Satanic Verses was really good. Not Satanic at all, though! :-o

[heh, penis.jpg]

That man is a disgrace to the mustache.

Hulk Hogan's evil twin

I shouldn't be shocked any more, but I cannot believe this guy and his idiot crusade to burn some fairy tale books is getting more press than the farking neighborhood in California that has been blown the fark up. There are dead and seriously injured people along with destroyed lives, homes and families and the best we can do is waste airtime and bandwidth given over to some redneck who hates some particular group he's never met. Hell, here in Tennessee we call that Tuesday.
