“Time Magazine Editor: Burning the Koran is Worse than Burning the Bible”

Well crud. I had no idea.

Can we get a full list? You know, like four of a kind beats a full house. I need a comprehensive list of what books are more ok or less ok to burn.

Thanks!

(Their mouths move and words come out, but I'm pretty sure they are broken or something.)

If the Koran is written by God himself I’d say he has some smiting to catch up on.

“Allowing Islam into America is akin to injecting yourself with AIDS to prove how tolerant you are of queers.” So very pathetically true.

As for the good general, if he can't protect the life of his troops AND the rights of Americans guaranteed by the Constitution then it's time to bring the troops home.

There sir, you hit the nail squarely on the head and drove it through the timber in one hit.

As Ann so clearly pointed out, our kids over there are in infinately more danger from the ROE than they will ever be from an act of free speech within on our shores.

Whoa now! Can't sit idly by and let that one pass! To quote scripture:

2 Timothy 3:16 All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;

Yes, the about 40 men who wrote the Bible wrote under the "inspiration" of the Holy Spirit sent by God! That is why the Bible does NOT contradict itself over hundreds of years of compilation. However, the Koran, written by 3-4 or more people not only has contradictions and outright falsehoods, but calls for its enemies to be murdered. The Bible does NOT call for those burning a Bible to be murdered. That is one HUGE difference between the two texts. We are told to forgive our enemies. The Muslim is told to kill his/hers.

Therefore, when an idiot over here who wants to provoke Muslims to wrath (for whatever reason) burns a Koran, the Muslims riot and kill innocent people who had nothing to do with the burning of the Koran (genius religion, isn't it?). When they burn a Bible, we certainly don't go kill someone down the street. Which makes more sense to you? If you can't get that, you are beyond reason.

The koran is evil and more likely comes from Satan then anywhere else.
This evil must be stood against if civilization is to survive

Excellent post. I posted in haste upon reading the headline. And, the word “INSPIRED” in the Greek literally means “breathed” = in context, “God-breathed”.

Obama — well, the “christian” portion of him at least — should be offended by the editor’s remarks. I predict he will vote “present” on this matter.

“That makes it sacred in a way that’s hard to understand if you’re not Muslim. So the act of burning a Koran is much more — potentially much, much more inflammatory than if you were to burn a Bible. You are directly attacking God.”

Such bullshit.

The mooselimbs claim that their book is more sacred than the Bible and therefore Christians maybe murdered because the muzzies feelings are hurt.

I'm offended that mooselimbs are on the earth and the solution is my tag line.

Since it's not possible to separate the "good from the bad" mooselimbs, nuke'em all and let allah sort them out.

And the reaction to your atheism is.... pretty darn mild. A few might want to tell you about their beliefs, a few might encourage you to accept Christ as your personal Savior, a few might warn you of the peril you face, from their point of view. That's pretty much the reaction you would get on any street in America. Highly unlikely anybody would even get in your face about it (although there are a few nuts in every bunch), and you could depend on the law to support you if it came to that.

By comparison, in most Muslim-dominated countries, you could expect to be hounded, chased, beaten, lashed, and probably killed for your lack of belief in Islam. And not by a few isolated nuts -- no, it would be by the majority of people, and they would have the support of the law.

I agree, which is why I very much prefer living in a Christian-dominated country to a Muslim one. I don't have to believe in (what I regard as) the mythology inherent in Christianity or Islam to recognize the difference in how its adherents treat non-believers such as myself.

Mind you, this would have been different a few centuries ago. The Church used to kill heretics...but that was then, and this is now.

Members of the Westboro Baptist Church would be the only threat to Abin Sur’s atheism that I'm aware of here in the U.S.
