"It follows then that when Hitler burned a book I felt it as keenly, please forgive me, as his killing a human, for in the long sum of history they are one and the same flesh." -- Ray Bradbury
I dont think its as strong a statment as say kidnapping a journalist, torturing him and sawing his head off and playing it on TV and sending the video around the 'net, but I think the guys is getting his point out to the Muslims in a less violent way.
I'm pretty disgusted at this. This sets a bad example for Christians everywhere and pretty much shows everyone that they're no different than fundamental extremist muslims (is that the right term?). Bullshit in my eyes, love thy neighbor and turn the other cheek my ass. Bigots, and hypocrites, thats all they are. Not to even say what this might do to anger those crazy ass extremist other there...retaliation much? outrage much? What is gained by stooping to their level?
If Muslim extremists burned my bible, I'd be ok with that. They didnt however. They flew 2 planes in the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and one crashed in PA.
These "peaceful" Muslims (remember, its a religion of peace) continue to fight and kill Americans in the middle east DAILY. I have a friend who was a doctor that was killed in Iraq. A DOCTOR killed by a roadside bomb because he wanted to help these wonderful people. Do you think his wife and 3 kids think it's a religion of peace?
And you equate burning a book.. which is a symbol of this wonderful religion on the same level as what they've done?
Sorry for you're lost, first of all. But do you honestly think that burning their bible will make anything better? If anything shits gonna get worse over there. I don't know that much about Islam, but why blame the whole religion/people for the actions of crazy extremists? Why fight fire w/fire? Why even do something to provoke those people? Burning Qurans won't do shit, won't help things either....I don't mean to equate the burning of Quran to all the shit that extremist do to Americans, but hateful, meaningless acts of violence, is hateful, meaningless acts of violence.
Of course, I was disgusted after 9/11. But I'm able to understand that the actions of those who did it, is not a reflection of all muslims or middle-eastern people as a whole. Smh...
