Should he burn the Koran

[michele]

Well should he be allowed ? its a free country

[Bulletguy]

Who? *-)

[duffers]

a red-necked fundamentalist nut case somewhere in the good ole USA

 

burning / banning books is wrong - don't care what they are -

 

he's doing it because he's an ignorant cretin,

also walks around with a gun strapped on all the time - but then - this is the good ole USA we're talking about

 

 

[flicka]

He is trying to incite violence & hatred, whist claiming to be a man of the God.

IMO More like Religious Bigot.

 

[Dave Newell]

If he does go ahead with it he should be arrested for inciting a riot.

Agree - this idiot is the very worst kind if bigot. Burning books of any sort is wrong. The taliban tried to annilate the Bhuddist history of Afghanistan by destroying Bhuddist artifacts.

 

This idiot in the USA is akin to that.

It does seem strange that anyone burning the Bible would probably not be thought racist yet anyone burning the Koran would be?

 

I agree that he should not do it but neither should anyone else burn any other books related to religion anywhere in the world.

 

It does not offend me because I have no religious affiliations but I can understand why it would offenfd those who do have religious affiliations.

 

Religion may have a lot to answer for come the judgement day?

[duffers]

it offends me - despite my having absolutely no religious inclinations,

it also frightens me -

all this arrogant and absolute self righteous belief that there is only one answer and everyone else will burn in hell eventually so what happens to them in the meantime is of no concern.

 

take him into protective custody now - before he incites a riot

 

 

[Tony Jones]

Burning people is wrong - however wrong they are.

Burning books - however wrong THEY are - is just childish and immature.

Threatening violence - or doing it - because someone burns a book is all three.

 

This man is silly to want to burn a Koran, and evil if he's doing it especially to provoke and anger others, but in a free country he shouldn't be prevented. However, if that gun means he wants to shoot Muslims, even those he thinks condoned 9/11, he SHOULD be stopped.

 

BTW - The Bible means a lot to me because of its content, not because that particular bit of paper and cardboard (or leather!) is somehow "holy." So I've often thrown away old worn-out Bibles, without a second thought. They may end up burned, pulped down, or in landfill. I wonder what happens to old worn-out copies of the Koran? Just a thought.

I think his behavour is akin to prodding a stick in a wasps nest and undoubtably someone will get hurt.

I agree with Tony ,In a free country he shouldnt be prevented.

 

I wonder what happens to old worn-out copies of the Koran? Just a thought. Exactly ,

I have noticed that what is good for the goose never turns out to be sauce for the Gander where Muslims (some ) are concerned . When they said they were issuing a Fatwa on Salam Rushdie I didnt notice the whole of England up in arms.

 

I happen to think the man is bonkers in this case ,the media also for giving it air time . The pastor would of gone to bed if the media hadnt got hold of it and it would of been just an ordinary Ground Hog Day in his town but thanks to the Media its not .

let the man burn the book he is after all mentally unbalanced why give it so much fuss and the Muslims ought to grow up and look at this as a very sad man rather than issue what ever whaat ever threats .

 

thats my take anyway .

 

Well done Tony ;-)

Never read the Koran Richard, and again'st 'book burning' in any shape or form, but if the grammatical content and spelling is anything like what you just wrote then Pastor Terry Jones has, on this occasion, my full blessing to burn every copy he can lay his hands on.

[michele]

 

 

OOps Howie just farted again :D :D :D :D PMSL sorry Tony :D

[howie]

Pastor Terry/Tony Jones !, surely not. See if there's a branch of the 'Dove Outreach Church' down there in Essex Michele. 8-)

[Guest Tracker]

I bow to your superior grammatical ability your Howieness and I will indeed carry on learning from your postings exactly how it should not be done!

A link in the opening post to this thread would have been VERY useful *-)

 

So here is one which at least provides more descriptive information as to the thread topic;

America has always been a rather strange country full of wacko's and weirdo's and this burning business is nothing new. Anyone remember this?

Not to mention the KKK nutters and bile and crap they STILL continue to spew out on race hate.

 

This current episode is simply another day in good 'ol US of A.

As a Christian [ Fallen ] I can understand the Muslims being incensed by the threat of burning their Holy Book, Religion in England has become totally irelevant IMO ,look at all the Churches that have been turned into pubs, but the Muslims are still fanatical about their Religion and way of life, I don't have a lot of time for them personally but I think it wrong for this man to burn the Quaran if that's how it's spelt, not at least for the harm it will cause to innocent people in Muslim countries If he wanted to burn the book, why did he not just do it quietly in his back yard, because he wants maximum publicity that's why, under the American constitution he is entitled to take this action BUT his local authority won't issue him with a BURNING LICENCE if you ever heard anything so daft.

Just checking my understanding of this -

So this publicity seeking idiot in America should not be allowed to burn a copy of the Koran, but it's ok for the Muslims to burn an effigy of our Prime Minister or the USA President - seems about right the way that the balance is tilted these days.....
