Desecration of the Quran: Your Views

[Tim33]

If they are not going to report Church burnings or Bible burnings, they should never report Quran abuse or Mosque abuse, it is such a double standard if they do.

Agreed, though i dont think they should publish either, religion has far to much power. People should be able to burn what ever book they wish to burn.

I'll make a toast to that!

where they burn books, they will burn people

And if cows were carnivorous, they'd eat meat.



They point I think Tim was trying to make (and the one I supported) was how ridiculously fanatical people get over somethings.
It might be my Libertarian bias, but as long as I'm not harming someone else I should be free to do whatever I like.

So like in Guantanamo- does that mean that we will be soon inadvertantly urinating on people, kicking them and writing expletives on them?

I totally agree. I just don't see how burning, peeing on, flushing a book does any harm to anyone? As for psychological damage? If a burning book causes this type of damage to you then you have serious problems! I just think that there are more serious things that should be worried about than this...I do however appreciate everyones comments in this thread!

No-one should insult the belief of others, whether they agree or disagree with those beliefs. The US soldiers allegedly desecrated the Quran, and they probably would have desecrated the Christian Bible or the Jewish Torah as well. Some people simply have no respect. I don't believe that punishment, per se, is appropriate, but the individuals concerned should be made to publicly apologise, name and shame them.

As a liberal and atheist, defender of freedom and freedom of expression and speech. I really don't care at all.

I consider Islamism a despicable culture and religion. While part of Middle Eastern and Africa do not get rid of it (I meant its radical far side), will live forever in the middle Ages. Being a burden for mankind.
