They are the reason I have to pretend to be "liberal" in order to make friends.

A book burning is a pathetic display of ignorance and stupidity - regardless of what book is being burnt.
Stooping to hate - the lowest common denominator - what a way to honour those that died at 9/11. It doesn't matter that some Muslims and some Islamic governments are hateful and violent - instead of emulating them, people should rise above. In the past century we made large inroads in human rights - recognising that people have rights independent of their governments, recognising that things like genocide and torture are always unacceptable.. behaviours like this seek to undo all the progress that has been made, all for cheap political points and indulging in vindictiveness.

Part of the problem is that everyone keeps giving these circus sideshow christian freaks the attention they're seeking. Such acts are no more worthy of consideration than the screeching of infants. These fundamentalist rejects having been doing and saying the same tiresome and insane things for years. Their petty malice is getting rather boring and i've yet to see a creative or original act from the whole lot of them.

I personally see book burning as completely primeval. Instead of destroying books you don't like, why not just not read them? Besides, it's not like the Bible hasn't inspired grotesque acts of terrorism in recent history.

Having said that, I support the church's right to burn those books as part of their First Amendment freedoms.

This is not what Christianity is about at all and the "church" doing the Qur'an burnings looks more like some sinister cult. True Christians are supposed to be a beacon of God's love to the world. Those who call themselves "christians", but preach hatred are Pharisees and wolves in sheep's clothing!

God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts

The City of Gainesville denied their burn permit, and they would be fined if they went through with the burning.

Pretty sure their plan was blocked by the courts. At least I read something like that on the news the other day.

Guess they don't care. Maybe some of them will burn themselves.

I just thought of something. Were these the same f***s that were burning Harry Potter books because they thought the books promoted witchcraft?

Ah what the hell. Still, at least their bank and insurance people are smarter than they are. I hope they get a shit-ton of debt. Hell, they probably spent all their mortgage money to buy the Qu'rans so they could burn them. How stupid is that, it's like burning dollar bills. Complete and total waste of time, effort, and money.

I seriously hope that a divine wind will blow the sparks from the Qu'ran bonfire and set this chapel alight, because as far as I'm concerned, so-called "Christians" who speak only of hatred should face retribution from the Almighty himself.
