Surely the burning of the book doesn't matter- the physical words of the Qurán should be in their hearts, not on paper. Even if a book is destroyed, does that make its message also destroyed? No.
I seirously think that these fundie Christians are little more than the real-life equivalent of internet trolls- they wanted a reaction, they got one.

I should have clarified, I was in a hurry. What I meant to say was, whether Tuna has read the Qur'an or not isn't relevant to his overarching point that it doesn't matter how the Muslims in question were provoked or why they reacted the way they did, their reaction to this situation is simply not justifiable or defensible.

I was pretty sure I answered it when I was on my phone yesterday, but I will answer it right now since your panties are in a twist. Yes I have read it.

From a short-term perspective, and in a purely pragmatic aspect, perhaps we could discuss the advantages or disadvantages of certain minor actions. But those are rare exceptions. We can't renounce to basic principles, such as freedom of expression. According to the politically-correctness mafia, it is unfair to say that some parts of the globe are more socially-developed than others. But that's the truth. Due to a terrible poverty and a suffocating political and cultural isolation, Afghan people are victims of religious leaders and politicians without scruples. Quote:

Partially. But you'll recall the Afghani man about five years ago who was almost executed because he converted from Islam to Christianity (apostacy is punishable by death). It was what turned me against trying to form democracies in the middle east back when I was still a neocon. You don't have to be a westerner to be killed for disrespecting Islam.
