That has to be the biggest pile of bullshit I've read on these boards.
Stop splitting hairs.
I'm talking about the act of burning the Koran!

Whether or not it should be taken as an insult is academic.
This is the real world. Allow me to illustrate.

I knew it: pearls before swine. OK, keep in your tabloid culture and forget me.

What does anything he said have to do with tabloid culture?

And are you just playing devil's advocate with all this? I gotta know.

Do you think that is a polite way to reply someone?

No, I have my own opinion. They call it freedom of thought. And for your information, I posted the basic idea here, when I said that I coincided with Odyshape's opinion.

Tabloid culture? You're the one who linked me that less than reputable source in way of attempting to back your stance with fact.

What annoyed me more was your insinuation.
Had St.George flags been lawfully banned (which they aren't) and assuming the Muslim community were offended by our flag (which they're not) you implied I was being hypocritical. Which I'm not.

I'll type this slowly Zarqabull. Read it, then move away from the computer and go and put the kettle on and sit down with a brew and chew over these words for a while;

I have nothing against freedom of speech, or the right to exercise your cultural rights.
I just happen to think that in this day and age, burning the Koran is a pretty dumb idea. No?
I told you to forget me. I have nothing to discuss wiith you. Don't address me again.

Morover:

Suppose we are in 1940. I would burn dozens of copies of Main Kampf in a public square, as expression of contempt. And I wouldn't pay any attention to the useful idiots crying: "hey, don't provoke them; remember we're living hard times, they are dangerous, they can kill us!!". Fuck the Islamonazis, fuck the Cristofascists and fuck the "chamberlains"!!!
To separate the two is to separate a man's ideas from himself. How can you possibly do that, when the ideas in which he believes shapes and constructs his very etiquette of thinking. What you believe and who are you are, are not two parallel dimensions but rather two dimensions that overlap one another. Your attempt at faux intellect is weak.

You have, a cat. As your avatar. And you post pictures of cats. Facepalming. In an attempt at humour. The statement above is one that you are not in a position to type.

You're telling me?
I don't think so!

If you didn't like my response to your link, then you should have at least tried to have got your facts right.

Comments like "pearls before swine" didn't exactly ingratiate yourself with me either.
If you can't take it son, don't dish it out.
