If they actually go through with this, it would piss off so many people. The US is already on bad enough grounds with Islamic nations, this is just pure idiocy at its finest.
EDIT: I just checked my calender. Isn't the 11th Eid?
Holy shit, that's like taking a Bible and burning it on Christmas.
ITT: Useless arguments about Religion.
So, did the burning actually happen? I wonder how certain extremists will retort to said actions.
It happens on 9/11.
I do have to admit, this is possibly the best way to piss off large portion of the planets population. Good job crazy church people!
It's stupid and bigoted. That pretty much sums up not only this book burning, but those extremely moronic religious zealots and their need to have their religion feel superior.
We really need to get rid of religion if we are going to continue to progress as a species.
Yea, that will never happen.Quote:

Snot nosed teen is different from a pastour of a church trying to establish an "International Burn a Koran" day at the end of a major religious holiday for muslims.Quote:

Stop your Christian lies scum! We all know you come from the holy land!Quote:

Except the fact that Islam was founded as a continuation of the other Abrahamic faiths..Quote:

The only thing different with the two religions is:
1.) the lore -
which is a pointless argument, since it would be like saying swapping the lore of WOW, while keeping the gameplay exactly the same, would make it a completely different game.
2.) The time they've had to develope, and the amount of criticism they've endured -
The only reason most Christians don't act like Muslim extremists(whether they are many or few) today, is because they've been secularised by the onslaught of reason, science and humanistic values for several hundred years because the man at large grew tired of the churches bullshit, lies and tyrany.
Yes, I agree partly, for I do believe that the general muslim is indeed more ingrained in the old customs of Islam and Muslim culture than the practitioners of their western counterpart-religions.
That doesn't change the fact that biggotry is biggotry though.
And it doesn't change the fact that burning their holy book is not actually doing anything but inciting violence and hatred.
People have the right to burn books if they want to. However, we live in world with countless conflicts of all kinds, so maybe it's smarter to ask ourself "what can I do to make the best of this situation" rather than going out of your way only to spite people in the acts of hatred.
You hardly see Atheists(the thinking ones at least) burn bibles just to piss of Christians.
But if you did see it, it would be because the bible is filled with bullshit, not for some other emotional arbitrary reason.
Problem is that these people are not burning the Qur'an for being filled with bullshit, they're burning it because they dislike muslims for an act done by a small minority of that faith -
I.E This entire situation is just another example of religious and philosophical intollerance done by religious people.
Yeah but captain douche bag doesn't seem to give a shit. I really hope this doesn't cause trouble for our troops.Quote:

It's a lose-lose situation. If we replaced the word religion with tarot-cards, alien abduction, and/or any conspiracy theory, most people would be in total agreement. After all, whether you believe "whole-heartedly", or just "in some parts of" tarot-card readings, you're still doing something wrong mentally.
that is not even a true copy of the Qu'ran. The Qu'ran is only in arabic. That copy is only an attempt to translate in english.Quote:
