It does feel a bit risky to say on a forum with so many ethnicities though...

Burning the Koran is a waste of perfectly good toilet paper.

Allright, I'm safe now.

I hate people like Jones, they're just a complete caricature of Christians.

yeah right.

Maybe they should work on being closer to each other as human beings instead.

not going to kill them because they do. The problem with the Dove Outreach Center isn't so much that they burned the Koran. It's that they
made such a big deal out of it. Why? Because they wanted a reaction
and a reaction they did get.

That's true that they just want a reaction man, but who cares - what sort of a World would we be living in where people didn't react to atrocities?

That's what it is in my view, it's bad. If you burn a person's Holy Book, you're burning every person who follows it. How can you then talk about freedom of belief and World community etc., you can't, you haven't got any grounds. How can you talk about equality, and rights and all that other bull****? You can't. So how can you then say, "it's my right to freedom of expression to burn this book"?

Well, you can't. Why should we uphold someones right to attack someone else's rights/ beliefs? Why is it their right to burn it, but it's not a Muslim's right to defend it?

Pretty sure every Holy Book has a variation of
"Thou Shalt Not Kill"

How can you equate burning a book to destroying the lives of a human being? Where are YOUR grounds for this reasoning?

You seriously don't see a difference between attacking beliefs actually killing human beings? Talk about lacking a sense of proportion. Elsewhere on this forum you have attacked the beliefs of the non-religious, does that mean they have a right to kill you?
