Yep, Conservatism making the world a safe and friendly place!

The controversial Florida Pastor Terry Jones was arrested Wednesday in Polk County, Fla., before he could burn almost 3,000 Qurans.
The county's Board of County Commissioners had denied on Tuesday Jones's request for a permit to burn 3,000 Qurans — the holy book of Islam — in a local park to mark the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Florida pastor Terry Jones has been charged with the unlawful carrying of fuel for allegedly planning to burn almost 3,000 Qurans, one for every victim of the 9/11 attacks. He has been taken into custody and faces felony charges.
Jones was arrested on felony charges after a traffic stop, a spokeswoman for the Polk County Sheriff's Office said.

According to NBC Miami, Jones was riding in a pickup truck with kerosene-soaked Qurans inside the truck bed. Additional bottles of kerosene were found in the truck bed.

He faces charges of unlawfully transporting fuel and openly carrying a firearm, NBC Miami reported.
Jones's website said he wanted to burn 2,998 Qurans at 5 p.m. "in memory of the 2,998 victims of Islamic jihad who were murdered on September 11th, 2001."


"And I'd-a gotten away with it if it weren't for them meddlin' Lib-rulls!"

Person burns a Quran and he's a whacko (the fact that he is one is irrelevant here), person burns a US flag and they're a hero. Interesting world in which you live Cat.

He may have gone about it wrong, but I support his right to burn any book he chooses.

Spoiler: show

I in no way support this crack pot's anything else but he has a right to burn a Quran if he wants too.

Dumbfvck,
Document here with a link where The Cap'n ever said a flag-burner was a hero.

I'll be waiting.

Better shut down all of our ME embassies...as this is surely to cause responsive terrorist attacks. Right?

So, infringing on his right of free speech is acceptable?

I find his actions in poor taste.

While they are getting him on "Other" charges here, they really want to stop him from burning the Quran. He was a complete numb nut with how he was doing it, I will definitely give you that. He should have transported the books in one vehicle and the kerosene in another, safely. Other than that, he should have been able to do his protest. (Again, he is an IDIOT but should have that right.)

I think the issue was having a giant kerosene induced fire in a public park
This was not about books... No..?

That is the issue, but not to Cat.
