Outcry over Koran burning by Petraeus and our government, none on Bible burning.

I sure hope there isn't a law that stops him. This is America, land of free speech.

oh i agree! either everything is ok or nothing is! no limited free speech! one thing is cool to say/do but something else is off limits cause it pisses off some violent group 2ooo miles away!

I'm sick of this double standard. And the favoritism given to this religion that no other religions would be able to get away with, not Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, or many others...

Anyone who sees this as a black and white issue is simple-minded.

The proposed burning of copies Koran is purely hate and racism, and shames Americans, alienates Muslim Americans, and is a dishonour to Muslim American SOLDIERS who died in Iraq and Afghanistan. I'm 100% for freedom of speech, but don't pretend this is anything OTHER than bigotry.

The burning of the Bibles was a COMPLETELY different. Had nothing to do with hate, but with Military policy that no troops can preach or proselytize while serving on duty. The fact that troops were being sent Bibles in Afghan language was completely inappropriate. No one burned the Bibles out of hate.

I'd also point out that you should be careful. You have a total of 9 posts on this forum, and are already posting subject matter that will incite arguments and problems.

Just a little reminder for people;

been a phony in germany also -used church money for his own -

this is a smart media move by a idiot-this will grow his church even if he doesnt do it-

do i think its right-NO
do i think he has the right-YES

[ConsummateProfessional]

I don't agree with what he's doing, or wants to do, but he has every right to do it. I am more appalled at the double standard.

If your enemies stoop low, does that mean you must follow them?

[npueppke]

The guy is obviously a total nutjob. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

Petraeus is right to be concerned over the men under his command that may die because of this idiot burning Korans but he is wrong to speak out about it. Freedom is often counterproductive in the short term but in the long term it is a powerful force for good.

I don't see any double standard. In both cases Petraeus is concerned only about his mission and his men.
