If you’re implying that I would beat my wife, how dare you? If you’re trying to make the same lame comparison, just stop avoiding the reality of it. There’s no point in trying to compare it to anything else because it is a fairly unique situation. Mr. Jones’ actions had intent behind them… he intended to illicit a response and anyone with half a brain knew it would be unpleasant and very likely violent.

As far as my question… fine I’ll re-word it:

If you had nothing else to deter you except the knowledge that it **could **result in violence… would YOU have done it?
First, I feel no need to do such a thing so your question is, in fact, unanswerable.

Secondly, if I did feel the need to do so then I would go ahead and do so.

Protesting an abortion clinic could have a violent result. It doesn’t mean that the action should not be taken.

Now, if this were such and issue with Islam, why was the violence only in Afghanistan?

I’m starting to think I there may be an intelligence issue here… I’ve asked a very simple yes or no question that nobody seems capable of answering…

If you knew that burning a book could and most likely would create violence (based on past events) would you do it?

If you answer yes… please explain why.

If you answer no… please explain how you can justify this man’s actions.

If you don’t answer I will assume you simply can’t comprehend the question.

Actually, you don’t comprehend your question.

And making such a statement shows very poor discussion skills.

“When did you stop beating your wife?”

That’s a simple question. Give me the date or I will assume you are still beating her.:rolleyes:

First of all, I’m not married, so I’m not in a position to “beat my wife”. Second of all I would never and have never hit a woman.

I’m showing poor discussion skills?

I asked a yes or no question and you refuse to answer it… that’s poor discussion. You simply don’t want to admit that no you wouldn’t have done it because it destroys your defense of this man’s actions.

Was the Vatican wrong for condemning the pastor’s plan to burn the Koran?

Nope, but, I am still waiting on the Vatican to condemn the coldblooded murders of the UN workers in Afganistan. I see that they are pleading for an end to the bloodshed, but haven’t condemned it yet.
 
One took it beyond comments. Similar to arguments made against the Eucharist; speaking against it is one thing, desecrating it is another.

I admit, the better artist comment made me grin. 👍
Neither the oppression of women delat with in that work, nor the note knifed into Theos heart as a result made me smile much.
And Van Gogh is as dead as the UN workers.

I’m pretty sure the Vatican condemns murder period regardless of the circumstances surrounding it.
