IMO, if you are a Christian, then why not just live your life through Christ and those teachings every single day? You wouldn’t have much of an appreciation for Muslims burning the Bible, if you are a Christian, eh?
I am an atheist and would never burn a Bible or a Koran. Burning books is actually just really uncool and immature, IMO.
Go help the needy in the name of Jesus Christ and you will do so much more to denounce Islam than burning a book. If you have to find a book to burn, burn a ‘fable’ or ‘fairy tale’ or even a porn mag and write ‘Koran’ across the top then burn it. Honestly, I think that would say as much.
Again, this is all just my atheistic opinion. Ultimately, people should do what they feel is right.
Burning the book of a violent theocratic form of government does not equate to building a victory monument near the grounds where 2,600 died at the same hand of that theocratic form of government.
We are losing if these thoughts are coming from conservatives
It is evil to burn a Koran to show one’s utter rejection of Islam? Why?
“Burning the book of a violent theocratic form of government does not equate to building a victory monument near the grounds where 2,600 died at the same hand of that theocratic form of government.”
True.
The only real comparison is Muslims organizing a burning of the Bible. In my opinion, that would be very rude, very wrong and not necessary for me to understand that Muslims denounce Christianity. I get it. They hate Christians and they even atheists like me.
An enemy of the United States, if a US citizen, IS protected by the 1st Amendment.
The Qu'ran tells them to extend the hand of friendship to unbelievers and then to kill them. About the Jews it says that they will hide behind rocks and the rocks will cry that they are behind the rocks come kill them.
If he is throwing the money-changers out of the temple, he is slapping the faces of those he considers to be "moderate Jews".
I repeat, don't be fooled by this charlatan. He's in it for himself, and the glory here on earth it will bring him.
That's exactly what the Sanhedrin told the Romans.
That doesn’t wash with the people who are not Christians, of which there are multitudes in this country. A lot of them even go to church.
Watching the “press” play the Pied Piper’s tune on this one ... and watching the people “dance to the media’s tune” is amazing. This is a non-incident, but the press plays it though it were the size of 911. What I hate is that this trivial “side show” is going to detract from the attention we should all be paying on the 911 MEMORIAL day. Maybe this is their plan?
Islam is. It's just a matter of time.
People have a constitutional right to burn a Koran if they want to, but doing so is insensitive and an unnecessary provocation much like building a mosque at Ground Zero.
He based it on the bible and Christianity and tweeked it to suit his needs.
You are comparing a cult leader who supports Fred Phelps, to the Son of God, our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ.
Neither of your specific comparisons make any sense whatsoever, and have no basis in reality, therefore I will not make any attempt to refute them.
The inanity of your words stands on its own.
You were doing good until the last sentence. 'Getting along' is not their goal. It doesn't matter whether we burn korans or not.
Submit or Die, is the bottom line when dealing with Islam.
“Both instances are impositions on liberty”
I agree that banning a religious building is an imposition on liberty. The personal rejection of an idea/value/religion is the expression of liberty.
If rocks are taking to Muslims, then just step back, they will be their own undoing.=)
Which is why I thought maybe finding a copy of The Three Little Pigs (heh, heh) and writing ‘Koran’ over the title and burning it might not be such a bad way to go...
Pigs, fairy tales and burning books...effective, but not worth so much retaliation?
“The Koran is a fairy tale. “
