Burn-A-Koran Day to be held on anniversary of 9/11, tension mounts

[karter]

This is just senseless? I mean yes , the killers of more than 3,000 americans were Muslims , But why burn their Religious book?
That would just worsen the situation , Why , for 19 killers , they are hurting the sentiments of like 60 Million or more people?

On the other hand , the protest against the Ground Zero Mosque is absolutely sensible , they should not create a mosque near the area because it can influence the people around , resulting in nothing and hatred.

The matter is just so confusing ;L

Freedom of speach and free will have limits....You cannot say he has the right to do that because of free will?
Thats like saying a murderer is right to kill someone because he has free will?

When people say free will and freedom of speach they dont mean that to be 100% true, theres limits. If evryone did what they liked then the world would be in chaos, thats why there are laws.

If you think about it there is no reason at all why he should do this, also its funny because his a priest but does it not say on the bible to treat evryone the same, respect thier beliefs and not be prejudice? If he does do it then he should be heald responsible for the aftermath.

Really True and well said

All this does is highlight the stupidity of religion. Islam and Christianity are the most successful trolling attempts in history :rolleyes: If there is a God this must be like Big Brother to him.

Exactly. All these rights must have a limit, otherwise there's no harmony or control over individuals and communities. Freedom of speech only really works when the person using it has enough brain cells to form a reasoned argument to have that freedom to express themselves. This imbesile doesn't have that right, for the reason you stated, because he himself has not noticed that he is proving himself to be a dreadful Christian and priest who clearly knows nothing of his religion or teachings provided, and by doing this event he is simply adding more tension to the problem and therefore throwing off balance and order, especially over an event that happened a few years ago and didn't involve the whole Muslim community, which this individual seems to believe they did.

there is no true way to translate spelling from arabic to english. the latin-ized version is qu'ran (how it sounds), but koran is acceptable in english because its how it sounds in arabic. the new york times uses "koran" and they're a highly regarded and accurate publication. its all the same.

Depends on what English. English-English has it down as Qu'ran seeing as the language was based around Latin. America sorted of has it's own version of English where it bases itself on spelling words on how they sound. The New York Times will call it Koran mainly because they're an American publisher, while a British newspaper (I hope) uses Qu'ran. The BBC call it Qu'ran and Koran, depending on what section of the company is reporting on it e.g. World News US is calling it Koran, while the UK version of the BBC is calling it Qu'ran.

It's just how the English language rolls (H)

This is just ridiculous, the book obviously means alot to Muslims, after all it is their holy book and the majority look up to it for advice on life and what to do.
The American's wouldn't like it if they started burning their flag, for example. Just because they don't agree with something it doesn't mean they can go around burning holy books.
It's good to see they've 'postponed' it I guess but it's still ridiculous.

they burn our flag all the time, have you seen any news on the middle east the past 10 or so years? not that it in any way justifies it, just sayin.

On the other hand , the protest against the Ground Zero Mosque is absolutely sensible , they should not create a mosque near the area because it can influence the people around , resulting in nothing and hatred.

nope. firstly its not a mosque, its mostly a community center with a floor for prayer, a mosque can ONLY be used for prayer. secondly its 4 blocks away from ground zero, and in fact there already has been a real mosque there, even closer to ground zero, before the towers were even built. thirdly its only inciting hatred because of the media coverage of it, the plans have been public for a year but conservatives in the media only decided it was a big deal about 2 months ago because it's an election year.

Let's make a few things clear: Not only is the Muslim book of worship full of ****** up things, but so is the Jew's and the Christian's. You have to remember that these books were written a long time ago, back when the world was a whole lot different. Secondly, the only ethical way to dispose of a Quran is to burn it. Fail on the moustache guy's part.

Religion has no place in modern society, science is leading the way to the future.
