Anti-choice protesters add new tactics: desecrating Korans & rainbow flags

Pro-Life Demonstrators Destroy Koran, Rainbow Flag

By Andrew Hasbun

Pro-life demonstrators Tuesday tore apart the Muslim holy book, the Koran. They wanted to set it on fire, but the group does not have the proper permits.

Tuesday morning rallies became confrontational when police would not allow loudspeakers. In an act of defiance, the group dropped their signs and crossed the street. They prayed in a spot where they're not permitted to rally. The demonstrators have permits for a variety of locations. One is outside U.M.C. There they hope to influence doctors and students.

"Medical institutions are the ones training doctors how to kill children," said Pastor Michael Warren of Operation Save America.

Outside the Capitol, seven Supreme Court decisions, including Roe Vs. Wade, were passed out and torn apart by children. Then a rainbow flag, a symbol of homosexuality, was destroyed. Next, demonstrators brought out a Koran, Islam's holy book. They ripped out pages, passed them around, and began tearing. A pack of matches made its way to the front, but the group never got the proper permits to burn.

3. Who knows. But it does show they're full of hate.
They're just not afraid to admit it anymore, apparently.

7. LOL depends on who's doing the burning
I'm guessing you support this, but not flag burning? How about bible burning? Please let me know where you stand on this.

11. Well, I equate it more to the Shrub's "Bring 'em on" bullshit.

Let's just provoke people even more so they'll be sure to target our men and women in Iraq and elsewhere. Hence my suggestion for these chickenshits to pull their stunts in Baghdad.

BTW, enjoy your stay.

9. Yikes! I hope al-Jazeera didn't get any footage of that!
If they did, by nightfall, 90% of the entire Arab world will be convinced that Americans are indeed a bunch of Islamophobic infidels -- and some of them will act accordingly. :scared: All because a bunch of moonbat anti's got tired of their usual tricks, like calling clinic defenders "baby blooduscking vampire lesbian whores". (This actually happened to me once -- and I'm male!)

Ripping up Supreme Court decisions, eh? Why not just shred the Constitutioin like your Maximum Leader does? :sarcasm:

10. Good, their colors are finally showing.
The fucking bigotted assholes. I always wonder when I see them who is fixing their problems while they're spending so much time in everyone else's business.

17. Burn that rainbow flag! Gays are killing their unborn children!!!!
If ever there were a group of people who DIDN'T contribute to abortion. (I mean, I'm not saying there's never been a lesbian who got an abortion... but come on.)
