NEW YORK, July 26, 2007 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Charles Merrill, the artist who recently edited the Holy Bible with a black marker and pair of scissors, has lately burned a rare Islamic Holy Book, The Koran, valued at $60,000.00, in an undisclosed Chicago location. "The purpose of editing and burning Abrahamic Holy Books is to eliminate homophobic hate," Merrill stated. "Both ancient books are terrorist manuals."

"Airplanes are flown into buildings because of words, and hate crimes against gays," Merrill said.

“Holy Books is to eliminate homophobic hate”

Anybody want to tell this moron that is not going to accomplish his task? However I’m sure the religion of peace will certainly move you up on their list and will want to chat.

This is totally OK, BUT it would have been better if the NEA had funded it!

Oh...Yeah...that'll work. Next time it rains on a day I plan a picnic I'm going to erase the weather report from the morning paper!

Between the faggie and the muzzie hate-book, there really isn’t much to choose, except that the latter are far more effective in attaching teeth to their hatred.

Mr. Merrill, raised in the comforts of the West, has never had to endure the consequences of "hate" probably beyond a punch in the nose or the ultimate terror of having someone of faith go "tsk, tsk" over his chosen voluntary deviancy. While the disapproval of a Christian is probably emotionally devastating to a homosexual, and while said liberal nancy-boy would proclaim to the rooftops how tolerant he is while he destroys things other hold sacred, he is certain to learn about what real hate is very soon now, as he will now have the world's Muslims actively plotting his death.

Please, Mr. Performance Art Poofdah, you are so out of your depth, it would take Mulder, Scully, and that submersible that went down to the Titanic to find you. May I suggest you get some kind of real job, that doesn't depend on Liberals handing out government grants for how "meaningful" you are, and you'd probably better do it in some part of the Midwest where there are no damn mosques.

Probably why this isn't reported anywhere but MarketWatch. Maybe Bin Laden, et al, monitor FR?

Right! He will discover that no Christian will be tracking him to harm him for marking, blacking out or cutting up a copy of the Bible. Of course, if he destroyed copies of certain versions, he might have destroyed a copy that actually leans toward his position, like the NIV.

He has been begging for it (in more ways than one, no doubt).

he’s admitting that God’s word condemns the actions of homosexuality

No doubt about it.

And I can hear the charading liberals now, shhhhh, be quiet. Don't you know we can't tell the truth about our hatred for that book just yet. We have to wait until we have a few more years of manufactured liberal voters influenced by drug use, public school brainwashing, Christian-bashing movies and phony scientific specualtion under our belt.

I am beginning to conclude that no matter what the obvious truth is, no matter how many people deep in their guts know what that truth is, everyone will act as though the biggest screamer with an attitude is speaking the truth. Aggression and outrage win. Perhaps that is why the gay activists are so successful.

They add in a HEAVY dose of emotion as well. "What about our FEELINGS???" The liberals go over hard for that one.

Hey, You are using, in a sort of way, my nom de plume! You are correct, it does have an insane connotation. “Bat Shit.” That’s me. Also, he was a character in a favorite movie, “Dr. Strangelove.” Is Guana the feminine of GUANO?

I wonder if he maybe DIDN’T burn the thing. Did anyone see him do it?

Quite a piece of performance art if you can start riots by claiming to have burnt a piece of paper when you didn’t.
