Pathetic at best.
"If people do not welcome you, leave their town and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” (Luke 9:5)
"And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.” (Mark 6:11)
"If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet." (Matthew 10:14)
So they shook the dust off their feet as a warning to them and went to Iconium. (Acts 13:51)
As compared to.......
Many commentators have noted the apparent irony: The Pope suggests Islam encourages violence – and Muslims riot in protest.
Many commentators have pointed out the apparent hypocrisy: Muslims are outraged by cartoons satirizing Islamic extremism while in Muslim countries Christianity and Judaism are attacked viciously and routinely.
Many commentators are missing the point: These protestors – and those who incite them -- are not asking for mutual respect and equality. They are not saying: “It's wrong to speak ill of a religion.” They are saying: “It's wrong to speak ill of our religion.” They are not standing up for a principle. They are laying down the law. They are making it as clear as they can that they will not tolerate “infidels” criticizing Muslims. They also are making it clear that infidels should expect criticism – and much worse – from Muslims.

Ever consider our ginned up fear of this would be completely unnecessary if we did "leave the town and shake off the dust"?
By leaving those towns where we are not welcomed in the first place, might we just in one stoke all but end this entire terror threat?
Did you ever just sit back and ponder how powerful a weapon fear is?
Did you ever consider that both sides of this alleged conflict are fed fear and more fear and more fear upon one another about each other?
And just who are the one's doing the fear feeding in the first place?
The average Joe on the street of either society who's just out to provide for his family?
Or is it certain elevated personas within each society who turn and twist the knobs of emotion and whips of those flames of fear?
If so, what is their agenda?
Ever notice that we are told the muslim hates us for our freedoms and that we need to fight them over there so we don't have to fight them here and lose our freedoms?
If we measure preserving our freedom as to the success of the war on terror, then did the Vietnam vets win the war in Vietnam hands down?
Understanding that the term freedom is subjective as we've not clearly defined the term, do we have as much freedom today as we did on 9/10/2001'?
If no, then how can you say the war on terror is to preserve freedom?
If yes, can you share your definition of freedom?
As to the picture you posted, can you post any pictures of this type of event taking place in America?
If so, how many of these events take place over a given period of time?
How many have occurred in America since 9/11 for example?
Dearborn Michigan has the largest muslim community in America, 2nd largest muslim community outside the Middle East so how often do these burnings take place in Dearborn?
How many christians or jews are killed by muslims in Dearborn on an annual basis?
How many daughters are killed by muslim fathers in Dearborn on an annual basis?
What about beheadings?
Was the picture you posted from Dearborn?
If no, where in America did that take place?
If no to that, where did it take place?
If 5k miles away, why should I be fearful of that with 3k miles of deep water between me and them?
Lastly,
If christians are all about being blessed, then why do they ignore their man-god in Jesus who said, "Blessed are the peacemakers?"
Why do christians also again ignore their man-god who said, "the meek shall inherit the earth?"
If America is a christian nation as so many claim, when are christians going to apply ALL the teachings of their man-god Jesus and not just cafeteria pick the stuff that's convenient for the moment and ignore the other stuff he's suppose to have said because it's not convenient?
Christians will often talk about all the bad stuff going down these days, lots of gloom and doom but did they ever consider all the bad stuff is because they've ignored the "good stuff" their man-god said?
