opportunity lost?

this is appropos of none of Mrs Khan's comments but I am starting to think that the proposed now non-burning of the Koran is an opportunity lost. If the pastor (and Obama who ' feared the stunt could ignite a worldwide wave of Islamic outrage') had been smart - instead of being held hostage to the prospective tantrums of violent six year olds worldwide - could have put the ball in their court. By making the non-burning conditional upon their good behaviour.

i.e. OK - no car bombings, suicide bombings, amputatiuons, stonings, killing of or any form of discrimination against non-muslims. No jizya, female genital mutilation or child marriages, hanging of gays, amputations for punitive reasons worldwide for the next 12 months - otherwise - the little green books of ignorance goes onto the pyre. i.e make THEM take responsibility for their own actions and they keep their part of the bargain - for the non-burning of the 'sacred' islamic text.

If they don't - they only have themselves to blame. Seems a simple solution. Can they do it?

Don't hold your breath - not even for a day.
