Remember gitmo and the horrific accounts of soldiers/guards touching, movint, etc Qurans, sparking world-wide outrage by Muslims who called for a violent response?


I guess defiling religeous manuscripts is bad when the manuscript is the Quran! Burning Bibles is hunky-dory, but you deserve to get your head cut off if you do anything tothe Quran! :roll:

Seems to me that the burning of the Old Testament (being the word of Allah) and the New Testament (being the teachings of the Prophet Jesus) would be a blasphemous act within the Muslim faith.

It'd be like Christians burning the Torah.

I suppose if you believe in free speech, you'd have to say they have a right to do it. But I doubt many here would think it is hunky-dory. If a congressperson were to burn bibles here, I'd imagine they'd have a pretty short term political life, for example.

Personally, I think it is pretty rude and disrespectful to intentionally desecrate another's religious symbols. But then, I was one of a small minority who thought it was rude and disrespectful that the Danish cartoons did it to Islam too.

The issue of legal right here is not the issue...nor is it disrepect...

It's the hypocracy shown by some in the Muslim faith who allow themselves to do what they comdemn others for doing...

That is all...

Oh, I thought maybe the point had to do with the hypocrisy of defending the slurs against Islam on the grounds of free speech, while criticizing the burning of bibles by the 4 muslems.

I think you have a great point there! The Quran and the Muslim religeon have distinct similarities. The Quran even speaks of people in the Bible, like Mary, Jesus' mother! There are certain sects of the muslim religeopn, like thw Alawi sect that is believed to respect Christianity for its reverence of of God and Jesus. I think those Muslims who actually have read and know the Quran would probably find it a blasphemous act; however, many of the radical Islamist have either never even read the Quran or twist the Quran's words/Muhammed's message of peace to continuosly create the hate-filled and mis-guided suicide bombers willing to give their life for a lie.

I once thought of taking the Quran out with me while deer hunting. But I found that the pages in a Sears Roebuck catalog to be more numerable and far more absorbant. So I was able to save ten dollars! :rofl

Hey, no worries mate. I have quit using the S&R catalog in my old age. Not because of any revelation of conscience but more because they started making the pages very slick. It's not pretty.:shock:

Yeah, but the pages are too thin. I hate it when my fingers poke through.

Ah, so you know for a fact that Hafiz Islam, Hafiz Abid, Rana Abdul Ghaffar and Rana Abdul Jabbar were condemning the toilet/cartoon incident? If that's true that THEY did it, then, YES hypocrisy hats for them four. But you can't lump 1/5 of the world's position in with the actions of these four.
