One Christian Pastor Terry Jones has burned a Quran, the political correct politicians in the Western countries are outraged and want to sue this bold Priest, they want to charge him with the so called "hate crime" or to silence him. Till now I am still missing the outrage both of western politically correct politicians and of Muslims against the non-stop 24/7 burning of the Holy Bibles in the Muslim countries e.g. like here in Iran.
My question is should Muslims condemn the thousandfold burning of the Holy Bible like Christians it do?

Hundreds of Bibles Have Been Burned By the Iranian Government Security Forces
My question is should Muslims condemn the thousandfold burning of the Holy Bible like Christians it do?
ARDASHT, IRAN (ANS) -- Following the outrage in the Islamic world about the possible Koran (Qur'an) burning that was due to take place at the Dove World Outreach Centre in Gainesville, Florida, who had launched "International Burn a Koran Day" to coincide with the ninth anniversary of the September 11 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, it is interesting to note that Muslims have been silent about a shocking Bible burning that took place in Iran.
Fortunately for the many Christians living in the Islamic world who were in great danger if this had gone ahead, the church called it off at the last moment.
But now I can reveal that the Farsi Christian News Network (شبکه خبر مسیØ*یان Ù�ارسی زبان - FCNN) has reported that Iranian Government Security Forces burned hundreds of Bibles back in May of this year.
A spokesperson for FCNN told the ASSIST News Service (ANS), "This action [of burning the Bibles], which has been confirmed by informed sources, was aired on a site belonging to the Pasdaran paramilitary organization, is nothing less than shameful and the persons responsible must be identified and exposed to the whole world."
The report said that on Saturday, May 29, 2010, Ati News, a site belonging to Morteza Talaee, the previous head of the security forces and the current member of the Tehran's city council, their "social-life reporter" had disclosed that shipments of so-called, "Perverted Torah and Gospels" had entered Iran through its Western borders.
Two days later, on Monday, May 31, 2010, the same report was reiterated by the official anti-crime website of the Pasdaran Army called "Gerdaub" which said that a large shipment of Jewish and Christian Scriptures had entered Iran through the Western Azerbaijan province and, according to security officials of that province, the "occupier forces" that operate in the Western regions of Iraq "were responsible for such activities."
FCCN stated that Gerdaub, the official website of the Pasdaran Army [also known as the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps [IRCG] continued its report by quoting the security official who had stated: "Some of these books are distributed locally, but most of the books are smuggled and distributed all over the country. In just the last few months, hundreds of such 'perverted Bibles' have been seized and burned in the border town of Sardasht."
The same unidentified security source added that his intention has been to "inform and enlighten" people.
