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

[Nemo]

I haven't got any generalisations towards muslims (asians?) at all.. I have close friends who are muslims and they're very nice people so they prove that you shouldn't have prejudice against a whole faith for the actions of the extremist followers in the middle eastern countries.

And no, I don't see that. If you watch the news and allow them to change your views on things as serious as the whole muslim faith ect, then you couldn't have had very strong views on the matter in the first place.

You seem to be unique then, and im not saying that you wont have friends who are muslim/asian, since that isnt what a generalisation is. You seem to be mixing up racism and generalisations.

And that's the point, not many people were very informed on religions and such, and so the media showing all of this doesn't help, as that is all they know and therefore generalise.

If they are getting threats from Muslims then they're as bad as him for burning it really.

I don't like any religion, this kinda makes me dislike it even more. Religion had brought more bad than good imo.

it's only as bad as burning flags.

burn whatever u want, it's a chuffin book.

The koran is not a violent book, its pretty mutch the same as the bible with the teachings, however because certain extremest chosse to take certain stuff and change the meaning to justify the evil thier doing does not mean its the fault of the koran. Its the fault of the reader, the koran or the muslim religion does not in any way promote terrorism. Which is kinda sad because muslims are getting branded as terrorists when they are completley againts it.

I think the whole thing is silly and stupid but I do feal that if the tables were flipped and someone said burn the bible day then it will be much bigger.

Also you cannot say he should be allowed to burn because its a book, the book means something to millions of people.

Wow, people must really love that novel.

I'm not a major religious person but i think this is terrible! My Religion teacher said the guy organising this is a priest and if that's true he sould just stop calling himself that. This is a awful thing to do, it's just so disrespectful! Remember that guy who wrote about the Mohammad in his book or something? Remember how they reacted to that, how do you think they will react to this?

Lmao a story book ahahahaha....books like the koran and the bible are the base of todays society. Most laws come from those books. They are teachings and for many people a way of life, something they care about.

You must have something you care about from your childhood, like a toy or a present, what if i said Im gona burn that just because you dont understand what the koran means to people, how would you feel?

for all you know i burn qu'ran daily to cook my food. they burn the bible and peoples faces and whatever all the time and we just look over it because they can do no wrong. So all power to him, although i think it will cause alot of trouble, i think someone needs to stand up and he seems to be the man to do it. It's a shame we can't all united until the muslims and fight for what is actually right rather than siding with them because we're all to scared to offend someone. IT'S GOOD TO BE OFFENDED IT MEANS YOU STAND FOR SOMETHING.

@Jay the bible is a story book, trust me i have read the whole thing as a christian and it's a story of how you should live BUT YES THEY'RE STORIES they're not a law book on how to live your lives the people who read them and believe them think they're an intimate word from god.

Many laws were based on the bible and quran teachings, Not to kill etc...
Storie or not it means something to people, thats what you need to understand it has a deeper meaning then just being a book. Yes to me and you its a story book but to them its something mutch more and who are we to disrespect that?
