I am the kind of person who refuses to debate religion with anyone, anywhere. Yes, I have my opinion of the Muslim religion, the same as Christianity, and yes, I do fit into one of those categories.. however, I've never felt it my place to say who is right or who is wrong, and I know for a fact, it will all be sorted out in the end, so why even bother arguing over it? With that said, here is my problem with this whole thing:
I am an American, and just like Rev. Jones, I watched as those towers went down, I watched the tears, cried the tears and was heartbroken for so many families in this world....then..
2 of my nephews signed into the Army. Since they have both served a year in Iraq, and one will return on Monday back to Iraq in a place where there are radicals who are enraged at the thought of the Koran being burned. I am super pissed that ANY AMERICAN, WITH ANY RELIGION would do or say anything knowing full well they are putting our young men and women into harms way. I am also super pissed that all Muslims are being placed under the "radical" category with this so called pastor. I would encourage everyone to talk to a solider who has been involved with muslims, the same as americans. Talk to our brave young men and women who have sat in the living rooms with these people, had translators there to help them, and hear how most of these people are just like you and I...they have beliefs, they have feelings and they raise their children just like you and I, to the best of their abilities. Some of these people are just like you and I, they are not all bad, they just have a different belief than most, however they do not turn that belief into the things we have seen over the years, they don't all turn it into hate and bad things.
Outside of the whole religious debate, I am angry over what this man has caused for our troops. I want to remind everyone that each of these men and women serve in our forces for the rights of you and I, and for the rights for this man to do as he has done, which has been nothing more than putting our troops in worse danger than our own government has. Just a few headlines from today:

Seriously, this man thought he was going to accomplish something? What he has accomplished has been nothing more than putting our country at risk for more terrorist attacks, more deaths through our military, and god forbid, has caused a more unsafe place for our children to grow up and live their lives without fear. THIS IS NOT THE AMERICAN WAY!
This man would have been better off fighting off our extremist here in the United States, including those crazy people of Westboro Baptist Church our in Topeka.
I am super pissed at what this man has caused in our world this week.
I'll tell you only one belief I have with my faith:
WHEN YOU DO WRONG, IT COMES BACK TO YOU 100 TIMES OVER!
