Fight fire with water not more fire

As the Straits Times aptly put, 'two wrong don't make a right'.

So what in God's name, yes I say god, is pastor Terry Jones doing?

Negativity adds, not multiply. Who in their right mind would prove their enemies well, right? No one. To be fair, fanatics on the opposite side have been burning American flags and shouting 'death to America'. This doesn't mean you should do the same.

During the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, both John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khruschev displayed brinksmanship for the greater good. If we liken the Nuclear Arms race to one of recruiting arms race between Terrorist and Counter-Terrorist, the obvious choice is to disarm if we want peace.

So don't press that button. Don't invade Cuba. Don't send a Medium Range Ballistic Missile right into Russia, because they can just as well throw it back, and only innocents will suffer.

Let us quote this 'pastor' for a moment. "We feel lives are in danger whether we do it or we don't do it...if we do not stand up now to try to expose this for what it is, in 10 years, will we even have the opportunity?" Expose what? That Islam is the spawn of you know who? Yah they heard you the first time. I guess what, their not going to feel guilty, apologize, repent, or convert to christianity. Why? Because your claim is based on a small group of people, oh wait I've heard that before...

"A small church, in a small town...burning copies of its own books, on its own property, is not responsible for the violent actions anyone may take in retaliation to our protest...If violence happens in reaction to this, the violence was not caused by us, it has just been exposed." Guess what Terry, terrorists are a small group of radicals too, yet they do so much damage socially, economically, etc. In the end, this pastor's actions are based on the false presumption that all Islam are evil terrorists. So I guess its time we call all Christians 'crusaders and Jenovah Witnesses'.

What of the Islamic Center two blocks from Ground Zero? I support it. Those people who lost their lives in a ruthless act of violence do not want to start wars. They don't want more lives to be lost like theirs. They don't want their families to continue endless arguments, stay depressed over them and never move on.

'It's an affront to the familes'? How can it be when its construction is meant to progress towards peace? How can it be that an Islamic Center = Terrorist Center?

Only if you understand sarcasm.
