Burning the Qur'an Places Canadian Soldiers at Risk

Do you actually think the Afghans will ever have the sort of freedom we have here. Our soldiers are there to kill Talibans to the point that a government can function without foreign support, not to make them like us.
Do you think that NATO soldiers want more religious fanatics trying to blow them up? Considering we don't have absolute freedom of speech in Canada to begin with, your point about giving up freedom of speech is moot.

I expect what DG was speaking of was the fact that a no time during the US Civil War did the Union states ever exert a full effort to defeat the Confederacy. While the South was strained to the utmost (even to the point of starvation) the war had very little impact on most Northeners. Most of the history of the war consisted of the South desperately fighting off one Northern incursion after another until it finally collapsed under the strain. Essentially the North simply wore the South down without having to resort to anything close to the measures the Southern states were forced to put in place.
And you are right. We are now delightfully off-topic.

1,4 Billion - how many have religion as they say - and i was referring to the time before the philosophy of Deng and the color of a cat came about in China -
How many died between 49 - 91?
The minister of a Florida church said he is now rethinking his earlier decision to call off plans to burn copies of the Qur'an.

Koran Burning To Mark Another 9/11

'Pastor Terry Jones defiance is a measure of how far America has fallen into ignorance and decline. As anyone who bothers to research the facts for themselves knows, Muslims were NOT behind 9/11.
However, Pastor Terry Jones gets his information from the corporate media – the very people who repeated unfounded claims about Saddam’s Weapons of Mass Destruction. And even though his actions will put the lives of American soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan at risk, Pastor Terry Jones has vowed that he will burn copies of the Koran.'

War had very little impact? There were 625,000 deaths and most were Union. Close to 2% of the population were killed compared to .3% in WWII. To say the war had very little impact is so far off the mark. You'd have to be more specific. The South did not collapse under strain or was worn out, it was utterly defeated and its lands were ravaged as well as a significant part of its male population exterminated. Total War was brought on the South.
For further reading on the subject read "This Nation of Suffering" and you can see the impact.

Oh there is going to be all kinds of this stuff going on now. Who knows, maybe they'll get used to it like the Jewish are used to getting their temples burned or the Christians are getting their churches burned.
It is time for them to grow up and stop acting like spoiled brats.
So burning the Q'uran will put our troops as well as other nations troops at risk? That's really funny actually. Especially since Canadian troops have been at risk from day ONE they've step foot in Afghanistan over eight years ago. They'll be at no more or less risk if the Q'uran burns or not.
Risk isn't absolute you know...there are levels of risk associated with actions. And risk is incumbant with pretty much every action when you're deliberately being confrontational. I'm not seeing why people have problems with this idea. An Afghan Army outpost was almost over-run by protesters this week. Who is going to reinforce the Afghan Army? It won't be Pastor Jones...
Pastor Jones has as much right to burn the quran as the imam has the right to build the mosque....end of story!
As has been clearly stated it does put more troops at risk - That is the sorry state of the religious divide, between religions and cultures, in this world we live in.
Will we get thru it - Yes
Will their be Muslim Terror groups - Yes for the next 2 hundred years - get used to it.
It will take that long for their own countries to reform their own Anti-Christian - Jew - and as awell the division between Shia and Sunni -polices and stop supporting terror groups and Imams that preach hatred.
