So Christian's have to start threatening and carrying out murders of Iranians to get respect. Got it.

That'd be absurd since the Bible as a physical object does not hold the same status. Theyd have no reason to be angry. It'd be bad but it'd still be just a book, but not equally as reprehensible to God as it were.

What status is that?

The point still stands though - as absurd as it may be. Don't you think the killing of 7 people in Afghanistan over some nut in Florida burning a book is absurd? I do.
 
A little yes, but we occupy their country, so not that silly. It's mostly unfortunate. Each Qu'ran is considered imbued with some aura provided by god and is holy as an object each one and in themselves, so yes it is different. I don't know all the details of exactly why its more special I can't exactly remember.

They didn't kill people because we occupy their country - that's a red herring.

Ahh... Like an RPG game that has objects with special properties that increase magical use? Ultimately, the only reason Islam get's these breaks is because people die when something in Islam (a crazy nut or not) doesn't like. So, radical Christian's have to start lopping off heads to get some religious respect... they won't be willing to do that, but at least we know the path.

To the contrary I feel it is a major contributor to the situation.

I don't see islam getting a break, their countries are made allies and enemies at the whims of the west and we've been stomping muslim face for quite a while. :shrug:

A good christian or Abrahamic scholar should know the difference between the bible and the Qu'ran. The idea of killing over bible-mutilation is a bit silly nowadays, theologically.

Well some are abortion bombers, respect the "struggle" n' all, still feels cosmically foolish in the western context but yeah, hope they get caught too for being bastards

My comment wasn't about respect. It also wasn't about Christianity or Islam. Try to focus.
 
Where was the Muslim outrage when they slammed passenger jets into our skyscrapers?

You're comment was uninteresting, so I decided to turn it up a little bit.

I think the better question is:
Where were you when the majority of the world, including Muslims and Muslim nations, condemned the attacks on September 12th?

So if Muslims want people to respect their religion, Korans and other **** then they should be respectful towards other religions by not burning bibles, Torahs and anything else people might consider to be sacred.

If they all did that, they'd be liberals. I hope everyone here realizes that the ultra-conservative Muslims are the one who we fight? You don't see any liberal Muslims killing Christians for being infidels, because they are more tolerant.

It's not a ritual meant to directly incite another faith but a means of disposing of bibles. I guess I had to repeat it.

Does anyone have sources of mosques burning bibles in hate rituals?

Once again, you support the actions of tyrants. Why are they confiscating the Bibles in the first place? Shouldn't citizens have the right to possess Bibles if they wish?

And regardless of the reasons they are burning them, it would still be considered offensive by many Christians.

SE102 -- I tried to edit this post, but just a tad too late...

BTW, an imam in South Africa wanted to do exactly that. Other Muslims (like most Christians in the Qur'an burning incident) opposed it. In the RSA, they were able to get a judge to block it, something that would not be possible in the US.

I issued no support for it, one is the 'security' procedure of a state bureaucracy and the other is a hate ritual. Quite a difference. Deplorable sure, but qualitatively a different thing.

Really? I would condemn it either way, just like I condemn the burning of the flag and disgusting "art" involving Jesus or Mary.

Could you imagine if that was done with the Quran?
 
No, Muslims should not protest the burning or other destruction of bibles.

They have to grow up and stop rioting when someone destroys a copy of their book of lies, mythology, and hatred.

Jeez, they're printed by the million, what do those idiot's think happens to the remaindered copies that aren't sold? Do they believe the unpurchased Korans are sent to a happy retirement to enjoy the company of 70 Playboy magazines?

The Mayor notes the left was much more pleased when the imbeciles...(or is that "infidels"?)...were burning Bush in effigy rather than Obama.

No. You've established that South Africa lacks true freedom of speech. Are you trying to claim the US should become more like South Africa?

The whole issue is that in the United States people are free to exercise their freedom of speech.

Period.

We do not want to beome a retarded country like France, which is in the process of banning religious icons and dress, or moronic like Germany, which stifles freedom by outlawing pro-Nazi literature, or touchy-feely like Canada, with it's multidinous "don't hurt anyone's feelings" laws. Not one of those countries is free as long as they're attempting to control the content of speech.

America expects it's people to act like men, and if someone can't take an insult, they need to grow up.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but burning (bibles/korans/torahs/"Fahrenheit 451's") will never hurt me.

I didn't really give much of a ****, personally it mattered to me about as much as when someone burns a flag because you'll always have your crazies. But as for those who were "pleased" that Bush was burning in effigy. Maybe, now just maybe, that could be because a lot of the left disliked Bush.
