Or something to that effect.
— Which, I’m pretty sure that’s not what Kevin Costner actually said.
Let the healing begin!

Just another variation on ‘for every terrorist killed we create ten more.’
I think it’s #12 in the Zealot’s Playbook.
If we would just convert to Sharia law the terrorists would probably just like disapear and shit.
Is this from the same interview where he claimed he would have never proposed this site if he had known it would bother so many people?
If you don’t let the “moderate” Muslims build their Victory not-Mosque, the terrorists will win.
Contrast this with the moron in Florida who wants to hold a Quran-B-que for 9/11: the argument is not that it will help with recruiting but that it will enrage regular folks who will attack our soldiers, not to mention other Americans such as missionaries, who are explicitly Christian.
Yes, Mr. Imam, sir. Moving the GZM will help with recruitment, because “the story will be the radicals have taken over the discourse, the headlines in the Muslim world will be that Islam is under attack.”
Moving a triumphalist mosque off the 9/11 debris field AND the Quran bonfire both have the potential to cheese off Muslims, but I’m thinking that in the former case, only the radical Muslims who are hell-bent on imposing Shari’a worldwide will care about moving the mosque, whereas the book burning will hack off all of them.
If you live in Florida, show up at that imbecile’s little event with an armful of fire extinguishers.
No, not to put out the fire, but to beat him senseless with the canisters.
Now he has a responsibility. Now he is concerned about national security “… if the radicals are strengthened and if we do move it will strengthen the argument of the radicals to recruit, their ability to recruit”.
But not before? He says, if the mosque must move, then “…the story will be that Islam is under attack”. As opposed to the story telling, should the mosque be built: “Islam is triumphant, building a house of Allah on the very ground of its triumph”. And of course, such a story is in no way going to strengthen the ability of the Islamist Jihadist radicals to recruit.
I guess the 9/11 attacks happened because the Cordoba House hadn’t been built… oh, waitaminute! The nutjob Islamists already hated us and wanted us dead. A mega-mosque near Ground Zero, or koran-burning in Florida won’t change a thing.
Imam Rauf knows the MSM are idiots and will swallow this garbage whole, but the majority of Americans ain’t buyin’ it…
I like the fire extinguisher beatdown idea, btw.
I wonder what would happen if we burn cartoon Mohammeds?
-WH gaggle reporter: “Is the administration planning on having discussions with the Florida group?
– Gibbs: “At the moment there have been no contacts, but discussions are going on in connection with this planned event and if any contact is made we will keep you posted on the times and the details of those conversations.”
– I have a suspicion that if that knuckleheaded Imam would withdraw the plans for a GZ Mosque the Koran burning would also go away. Just a guess.
In other news….
– Ambassador Bolton (the mustache) is making noises of a possible run on the WH. Seems to me like that would be a lateral move from one camp of liars to another.
– There are a truckload of rumors floating around inside the beltway that Bumbblefuck is planning to pick up the phone and personally call the Rev. and ask him as a personal favor to scotch the Koran burning.
– Gibbs said today, in the only comment he attributed to the WH, that Bambi has stated that “…this burning will only accomplish an act of providing Al Qaeda with a perfect recruiting tool.”
– I don’t know. That sounds to insightful and above his pay grade for him to have come up with that on his own.
“KABUL, Afghanistan – Hundreds of angry Afghans burned a U.S. flag and chanted “Death to the Christians” on Thursday to protest plans by a small American church to torch copies of the Muslim holy book on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.”
– More evidence from the religion of peace.
Islam reminds me of a bleeding hemmoroid
not to put out the fire, but to beat him senseless with the canisters.
Isn’t he already there?
But, you are probably right – better to be sure than leave any doubt.
Now that bozo Colin Powell is saying that if the Ground Zero Victory Mosque isn’t built, the terrorists will have won. The entire political elite has deep-throated a truckload of stupid. Fucking idiots.
As a fluent [long ago at 4-4] Arabist both in reading and speaking trained by US Dept. of State, I couldn’t agree more. The entire “religion of peace” is predicated on “Islam” the word for submission in Arabic, not only to God, but to his earthly representative, the Caliph. I long ago came to the conclusion that at its core a sort of atavistic form of colonialism, but in the sense of caravan robbery which had long been a specialty of the Arabian peninsula before Mohammad started marrying six-year olds. The Arabs, ironically, are more semitic than the Jews, as there is no Thirteenth Tribe Turkish admixture to their gene pool — though the Turkish Mamelukes and Seljuks did spread more than military achievements among their population!
As I see it, the Qu’ran burning is the best that the MSM can come up with this election year with a “Foley scandal.” No mention by Amanpour or NOW about the stoning of various female “adulterers” in Iraq.
And this phony “imam” rauf is a representative of the Muslim Brotherhood and supports a terrorist oganization like Hamas, blames the US for 911, and the libturds blame patriotic Americans when patriots dislike his extortionate blackmail and fake religious credentials. His “legal arm” of CAIr is also a Hamas supporter. Just how far do the libturds and Hillarious Clytoon’s State Dept loons expect the American people, as opposed to the lumpenprole d-bags on the left, to support this travesty of good sense and insult to sane public policy. As a State Dept. trained Arabist, I’m aware that the terrorist minority of the Muslim world will consider this spurious “peace center” a memorial to the triumph of Osama and his suicidal boy-pals. They will consider the cringing cowardice of the libs as final proof that the US can be rolled by using its Fifth Column—called the Demonrat Party—to shirk the national security of the USA.
My guess is that since non-Muslims will not be allowed inside, it will become a “nest of spies” like the delusional half-wits in Iran called the US Embassy.
I agree with the 911 spouse of the murdered fireman who says move it further from the WTC memorial. Al rauf is the biggest threat to national security in the country. And burning a Qu’ran is NOTHING compared to erecting a memorial to an Islamic “victory” attained by deception, guile, and the dupe-PC idiocy of the Jamie Gorelicks and Janet Napolitanos of this country—add the self-described “mutt” POTUS to that list of security risks at the heart of the US govt. inaction and Obolshie is now showing his tin-ear is worse than we thought. I don’t think he wants 8 years in the Oval Office.
“I don’t think he wants 8 years in the Oval Office.”
– Doubtful he’ll need to worry about a second term. More like he’ll have his hands full getting through just one.
Geez, Mike, let me see if I can understand the General Powell’s logic:
If a mega-mosque built as close to Ground Zero as Imam Rauf can possibly get, that the terrorists will understandably view as a “monument” to their “victory”, is not built, the terrorists have achieved a “victory”?
Apparently Rev. Jones will call off the Koran-b-que if the GZ mosque is moved away from the WTC site… developing…
the donald makes an offer for gzm
http://www.myfoxny.com/dpp/news/local_news/manhattan/donald-trump-offers-to-buy-out-mosque-investor-20100909
Rumor has it that Pastor Terry thought up this idea after Bolton’s mustache possessed him.
I suggest Iman Feisal and Pastor Terry have an arm wrestling match.
– Rev. Terry just reversed course. The burning is off.
If you live in Florida, show up at that imbecile’s little event with an armful of fire extinguishers.
No, not to put out the fire, but to beat him senseless with the canisters.
Somebody’s been playing Bully again…
– He said at a presser this afternoon that the {Imam had agreed to move the Mosque.
– Latest from the Mosque people deny this. They’re now saying that to change plans will cause bloodshed and increase our problems of security from the extremists.
– Get that. You could take that as a threat if you had a mind too.
– …Some more here.
– Then again, if Jones decided not to play idiot, there’s always a few others more than willing to step in and save thedsy.
Apparently Rauf has declined to move the mosque.
Well, if there is one thing Islamists know it’s that land for peace is always a sham.
so its heads they win tails we lose. islamofascists have the deck stacked against us. surprise surprise. maybe the president should give them some basilout money
– Rev says “Fuck you Imam….this isn’t Gaza, and you ain’t Arafat”, or something along those lines.
It’s Good Cop, Bad Cop. Thing is, they don’t seem to get that they ain’t the police.
I can sympathize with Gen. Petraeus’ argument, despite knowing that Baracky shoved him out there to do it, but I feel better when I remember that we’re a whole lot better at killing them than they are at killing us and that America is the leading cause of death for al-Qaeda members, while booze kills Americans like al-Qaeda could hope only in its wildest dreams to accomplish. I propose a toast to that effect.
– Maybe the good Rev is on to something. Threaten to burn a Koran each and every time there’s an unprovoked act of violence by a Muslim anywhere in the world.
– Might at least slow ’em down a tad.
A real President would tell the Muslim world if the U.S. is attacked again by followers of Islam, Medina and Mecca will be made into cinder spots and the nation of origin of the attack will be subject to all the military force this nation can muster. Muslims understand brute force. We are the most brutally forceful nation on earth.
