Book burnings are always a sign of an open minded group of fun individuals.
i would have to disagree with that. to me definition of extremist is a person who enjoys terrorizing people and feels superior scaring people.
if they are holding guns and organized then they are terrorists. they are most likely sadistic and oppressive people. but there are also ordinary people who have weaknesses. you don't need to be extremist to have revengeful thoughts. matter of fact, noone needs to be religious at all to have revengeful thoughts because revenge is a vice that everyone has. so far i can tell motivation of extremists is hatred. there are other motivations and people have limits. extremists and terrorists are doing whatever they are doing not because they lost control, no, they chose to, they like it. but people may lose control as well. for that matter, burning Quran is a great provocation. anything worse? burning Muslims, maybe?
Florida church plans to burn Korans on 9/11 anniversary
It is statements like this lava that make you sound like an extremist yourself.

If you actually knew .lava, you would know she is anything but an extremist.
this kind of stuff does not need a bunch of cruel men to start a fight. i mean, one does not really have to be extremist, radical or terrorist to give a reaction to this. a teenager would do, someone who has temper would do. there are Muslims that i know. they trully have nothing to do with extreme thoughts or ways. but they would fight over this physically. people have limits, you know.
well, i hope they don't do it

UM... NO, this logic is not in the least bit logical; no more than saying the death penalty reduces crimes for which that penalty is enforced. Burning the Quran will actually have the opposite effect on all Muslims, not just the radical ones. This act will not send any kind of sobering message, it will only serve to inflame and VALIDATE the hatred they have for infidels. The very act of burning something held sacred by a group, in no way causes fear but will cause an anger than us "sane men" should fear. It's stupidity at it's finest, and ONE time when the First Ammendment doesn't help.
I did not say lava was an extremist and I have had quite a few discussions with her.
Some where we agree and some where we don`t.
However the comparison of burning Korans to burning Muslims is at the very least an extreme in and of itself.
The value in the Koran isn`t it`s physical manifestation.
It is the message within it, that message cannot be harmed by these Christian idiots at all.
If anything their stupidity makes for good PR for Islam.
Fighting over the physical books being burnt is nothing more than fighting for pride.
That is extremism...always.
