I certainly did and I even give them a link to Accyweb and said if they really wanted to know what was happening in the UK it would be a good idea to join the site and find out what ordinary people thought. But sadly they thought they knew everything about our country from reading articles in the press (both US and UK) and watching You Tube videos.
Maybe , just maybe if all the bleating kow-towing present day politicians ,(National and Local ,in the UK/Europe and the US) had paid a bit more attention to their school history lessons we wouldn't be in the mess we now find ourselves ....... anyone remember the siege of Vienna ,(for me it was either Mrs Evan's or Mrs Harrisons History class at Gt, Harwood 'top' Council school), or a maybe a crap Hollywood movie called "El Cid" . The 'West' has been at war with Islam's on-slought for 600 years and each time the only way we have defeated and proteced our way of life/culture is through military force.
Re. the loony religious nut from Florida and the Koran book burning .....the guy is a nut, but where has there been any national outrage when the followers of 'Allah' burn the Union Jack or Old Glory on the streets of Islamabad / Kabul or even London , my view , its time to stop treating these people like naughty children with the modern methods of a time-out and go back to the old ways where a good smack worked wonders , and if a 'smack includes dropping a few bombs or chemicals on kids harvesting the opium crop in Afghanistan so be it , means less heroin on the streets of London or New York .

After Celerity Big Brother, they burned effigies of Jade Goody in India.
A short time later she was dead.
Perhaps this will be and end to religious conflict.
I presume Muslims won't be burning their books, so I wonder how many spare copies of the Qur'an there are in this Florida town?
Perhaps this nutter flogs books, as well as furniture, and has over ordered on some stock lines.
He might be some lone loon, but if he copies what the Nazis did, he'll put lives at risk.
Religions, sanctuaries for idiots.

All the more reason for not following suit, burning the Koran makes these peope no better than the Islamic Nuts
Nothing surprise me about lots of things in the States Joan, For ages now I've watch the documentary chanels on TV every night, and some of the weird and wonderful things they Yanks come up with are priceless, and I totally agree with your last statement too
Don't thin you can cal it media hype Mancie when Secretary of State Hilary Clinton makes a statement on the affairI reckon i'ts all media hype and is easily done.. some nutter in some small crappy part of this planet has decided to burn the Koran.. a few phone calls to the local press and we end up with this rubbish as international news..
It gets worse, Obama has now become embroiled in it and has spoken on TV - OK, he said it was wrong, but all the more publicity for the nutter. Lived there for over 3 years and I experienced some of this type of rubbish at first hand.
If I based my knowlege of the US on the programmes on the documentary channels I would have a very distorted view of the lives for the majority of the American people.
I was attempting (rather unsuccessfully as it turned out) to correct the misconceptions that my relative and her friends had of the UK, because they made their judgements from You Tube videos etc.
So some petty minded closed group of morons decide they will have a bring and burn book club.
What are the chances that the members of this group will have a copy of it in amongst their well read library of Batman and Superman comics, well lets be honest, zero. So to gain entrance to the bonfire party they will first have to find a bookshop, this will be a learning curve for them, They and by the sound of it thousands of others buy the Koran in this one off deal.
The bookshop owner goes off to his wholesalers and buys extra copies, the wholesaler needs to supply his demand and gets in touch with his publisher and he buys extra copies.
The Publisher orders the printers to let them roll we have orders to fill.
Somehow I think as well as upsetting people of the faith that wants to read that particular book these fools will have spent their money boosting the profits of the publishers on behalf of the prophets of that very faith.
The same goes for flag burning, America probably keeps it's national debt down by supplying flags to be burnt by the extremists of other nations, it's good that they can reciprocate with their version of unnecessary global warming.

The Pastor probably has the ability to print copies of the Koran - I hear it has been called off now.
Hope so. Such an ill conceived idea would open up such a outpouring of hatred worldwide that we would all suffer. Did he see sense (doubtful) did the authorities "knuckle him (more likely) or were the death threats piling up most definately) on is door mat and in his email inbox?
I was actually thinking on documented cases in the states Joan, things we've heard of here but don't know the inside stories, but I would think everybody would agree with you on YouTube, myself I only ever use it for music
Very poor analogy. The level of separation between the Mosque and Ground Zero means that, if we are to try to amend your analogy, it's much more like having a museum to Robert Wagner being situated next to Auschwitz than anything directly linked to Nazism.
So many people erroneously see the Qur'an as the instruction manual and the Mosque as the training centre for extremist behaviour from those of the Islam faith. I'd wager that those kind of misgivings do more harm to the world than the nutty Pastor in America. After all, it was the media that gave him a podium.
That'll teach me about trying to multi-task after a long day. Of course, I meant Richard!
I'm just wondering .... in view of this http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.u...protest_in_Accrington_over_Koran_burn_threat/ " what would happen if Accy webs uber liberals Garinda/Gayle Knight/Claytonender/Ken Moss etc. and even Council leader Britcliffe decided to organize and hold a march from Ossy "Art's theatre/cultural center " down Union Road to 'Church Commercial' and then along Blackburn Road to Accy Town Hall to protest the Sharia Law death penalty imposed on Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani the Iranian woman facing stoning to death , would such a spontaneous procession/demonstration be allowed without police interference...and how many of the locals who live along the route would join in .
just curious
