I have to agree with him
Sep. 7th, 2010 09:02 amGeneral Petraeus to Quran burning fundies: CUT IT OUT YOU ASSHOLES!
Okay, I'm paraphrasing.
See, he's got a point, though. His job, and the job of the troops in Afghanistan and Iraq, and really elsewhere in the world is hard enough without a group of shit-ticks in our country burning copies of the Quran. And yes, if they go through with it, it's sure to lead to Muslim extremists using it as propaganda against us, and it's sure to drive some Muslims into the arms of the extremists.
There's just one problem with Petraeus trying to get them to back off from doing this. They don't care. This is the group that has had lawn signs and t-shirts saying "Islam is of the devil", AND they're one of the few groups who endorse the Westboro Baptist Church (who are a completely different group of shit-ticks).
*sigh*
Here's hoping they don't go through with it. Or that they get arrested while trying to do it.
