(CNN) -- The U.S. commander in Afghanistan has criticized a Florida church's plan to burn copies of the Quran on September 11, warning the demonstration "could cause significant problems" for American troops overseas.

"It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort in Afghanistan," Gen. David Petraeus said in a statement issued Monday.

With about 120,000 U.S. and NATO-led troops still battling al Qaeda and its allies in the Islamic fundamentalist Taliban movement, Petraeus warned that burning Qurans "is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems -- not just here, but everywhere in the world we are engaged with the Islamic community."

Wrath, pride/vainglory.  Deadly sins Terry Jones of Dove World Outeach Center seems to know nothing about as he scrambles for his 15 minutes in the name of God and country.

Muslim countries, not just Afghanistan and Iraq. My husband is currently deployed in Senegal, Africa, on a peace time mission (so he is, of course, unarmed). He is also one of the very few white men there, so he is easy to spot as an American, not to mention that he is in uniform. This provocative gesture, whether called off or not, puts Americans all over the globe in senseless danger.

Is Mitt An Ignorant Conservative Or Just A Liar?Oct 27, 2012
Mitt told a crowd in Ohio that Jeep is going to close down its US plants and move them to China.  The benovalent Romney said after he is elected he will do everything in his power to keep those jobs here (unlike Sensata which he has refused to help). Even after he was told his statement was false, Romney repeated it in another city. The thing is, Jeep has no intentions to close American production. The company put out this response to Romney shortly after news ...

Freedom Of Religion.May 08, 2010
This country was founded on the needs of free women and men to practice the religion of choice. I find it disturbing that it is assumed on this thread, and generally in the USA that everyone follows Christian practice. And for all you Bible quoters, do you ever quote the Gospel of Mary and other Gospels suppressed by the "church" ? Or just the words of your overbearing patriarchs? P.S. God is neither male nor female.       ...

Known as Trump LIES. The media is being shut down. This is the part of media that was transparent, the actual television or recording. As of June 5, the communications staff stopped referring to the briefings as a “daily” event in archives on the White House website. Spicer spoke with members of the media for 34 minutes Monday in an appearance that the White House barred from being televised or recorded. Even then, Spicer’s answers to basic questions in many cases offered l ...

“Look at the tyranny of party–at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty–a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes–and which turns voters into chattles, slaves, rabbits, and all the while their masters, and they themselves, are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion and freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction; and forgetting or ignoring that their fathers and the churches shouted the same blasphe ...

'Pulpit Freedom Sunday' To Defy IRSSep 27, 2010
Nearly 100 pastors across the country planned to take part in Pulpit Freedom Sunday, an in-your-face challenge Sunday to what the government says can and cannot be said in church. The pastors, along with the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based nonprofit Alliance Defense Fund, are reacting to a law stating that churches are not allowed to support politicians from the pulpit, according to the ADF. The growing trend is a challenge to the IRS from the churches, and may jeopardize their all-important tax-e ...

He didn't know it was coming. I always liked "Uncle Joe" except for being so down on coal. He always had a good sense of humor and I always felt he was humble. His speech is showing it. I'm glad he god recognition for his many years. So there he goes, praising his family instead of what he has done ...

Why Religious Freedom Laws Like Indiana's Are A Bad Idea For Left AND Right, Christian Or NotApr 01, 2015
Let me first say, again, I strongly believe in protecting civil liberties, but not promoting them. This means regardless of whether I agree or disagree morally, I do NOT agree with extremists, right or left, hellbent on forcing opinion into law. Recently, this has been done by both sides, either by enacting deceptive state law that "pretends" it doesn't discriminate, or by filing deceptive lawsuits that "pretend" they're with whomever refused them, rather than finding the perfect sit ...
