The "burn Koran/Quran/[insert different way to spell it] day" thing continues..
-
It's a pretty stupid thing to do, but it's completely legal. It's a great way for them to say "Hey everyone, we're a bunch of bigoted #(%*&@#s!" Now, I want to see an event where they take the "holy" texts of every religion they can find (Don't want to leave anyone out!) and burn them all in the same bonfire. The message would be "Look, they're all just books." Actually, that would probably be misinterpreted as militant atheism... Hmm... Ok, let's see... Ok, new idea. Take all of those "holy" texts... Print a new book that interleaves the pages... One page of the bible, one page of the koran, one page of whatever else, and so on... Sort them randomly (But no repeats!) just to make sure it's fair. We'll call it... uh... Alright, that was the end of the idea, so someone else has to think of a funny name for it.
Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

If this was the UK, i'm sure the police could charge him for inciting racial hatred under Racial and Religious Hatred_Act_2006[^] Must be something similar in the US.

I decided to visit the idiot's website. http://www.doveworld.org/[^] He's about as Christian as a piece of toast. Nothing like one extremist inciting another group of them. I just wish these idiots would be locked in the same room and never let out. The one thing I'll these extremists is their conviction runs high. How many people would kill themselves over an ideal? Not many. Most people are passionate money and not much else. I've noticed how that is always the number one concern over the years. How can I make more money? How can I get more stuff? What happened to having dreams?

Well, at least you don't claim to support the troops while doing it.
Nonsense, you don't support the troops by submitting to violent extremists at home. It hurts the troop's moral and strengthens the violent extremist's moral.

I support their legal right to build the mosque, I never said otherwise, however that doesn't mean I don't have a strong opinion about it. You see, the first amendment is not some thing that forbids people from speaking out against other people's speech or what have you. It just prevents the government from coming down and saying "You can't say this", or "You are not allowed to worship that".

Of course, you do it by attempting to deny people who have lived somewhere longer than you knew their religion existed their rights because it makes you think to process that they've been here, some longer than you've been alive, and they aren't the problem. And then you highlight it by torching their holy book on the first day of their holy month, which happens to fall on September 11th this year. Not that they don't have the right to do it, it's just really fucking stupid.

Nope... As long as they don't start rioting or causing property damage, it's perfectly legal in the US. You guys may be ahead of us on certain things, but when it comes to freedom of expression, the US is way ahead.

Agreed, burning it is likely to inflame the situation (sorry about the pun), the best thing you can do is point at it and laugh. And at the Bible, the Torah, the Gurū Granth Sāhib, the Rig Veda and any other religious texts. Open them up at random and point at the ignorance and stupidity, at the bad understanding of the universe and at the lack of any evidence. Then, laugh at the people who would kill you in it's name.

interesting considering the bible thousands of years in advance had the shape of the earth told, that it "hung on nothing" and general good hygiene laws (such as excretion removal) that in "civilisation" was vacant until a few hundred years ago. Not to mention moral codes that are still lacking. :)

Progress? They don't tolerate anything but islam. You are not to be tolerated by islam or those who which to defend this country from islam. You are worse than pond scum. Burn the filthy trash books, spit on them, shit on them. and if any islamisist come by to kill some infidels, shoot them.

Civilisation is about 10,000 years old. Ur and Damascus? Ever heard of them? Britain had flushing toilets about 5000 years ago, and the Egyptians knew about food hygeine and were sailing to South America (although it was possibly the Phoenicians) so they knew the Earth was round and how big it was. All this predates the bible.

Yes, interesting that even Jesus says you should treat your slaves well and not beat them too hard or too often.

Those that have read books that are harder than "Where's Spot" and "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" will know there are at least sixteen senses. Including, but not limited to : nociception (pain); equilibrioception (balance); proprioception (joint motion); kinaesthesia (acceleration); kairoception (sense of time); thermoception (temperature differences); and ,possibly, a weak magnetoception (direction). That is before you consdider the Pulmonary Stretch Receptors in the lungs; The Chemoreceptor Trigger Zone in medulla; Cutaneous Receptors in the skin which react to vasodilation in the skin and produce blushing. You should stop delivering pizzas and get a fucking education you retard.

He's pretty spineless. Burning books is for the weak. To some people in this country Islam = evil. They forget that things like religion are just and excuse to justify they're idiotic actions. I've heard similar things from Christians over the years about other religions. Mormons are a great example of it, 'Sons of Ham'. The Mormon past is filled with racism, but they don't want to talk about that. You can't get Scientologists to respond to the whole alien thing. Right now Islam has to get through their own form of the crusades in order to mature. Sadly like most things man made, it's cost will be human suffering. I forgot to mention that for people who find Islam inferior to Christianity they forget that Muslim Americans are in the military protecting their unworthy asses from their fellow Muslims in other countries. The unworthiness of most Americans of the sacrifice the military goes through is amazing to me. People who hate are unworthy of living here. They are what takes the greatness of our country away.

Still is when the sewers back up. And think how bad it is in poor places. Like New Orleans where even now the Sewers are still broken five years after Katrina. As for the shitholes around the world, I don't even want to think about them.

Of course, if one equates closing down a website in the twenty-first century with book burning in the thirteenth century, then we we haven't really progressed a great deal.
Nah, unfair comparison... It was shut down because it violated the site's AUP... They had a provision barring "Hate speech."

Author of the Guardians Saga (Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels)In this day and age, I agree, an unfair comparison. However this sort of language, in the thirteenth century, could well have been considered as 'hate speech': Starting with sura 9:73 "Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate." ...or you may prefer sura 9:123 "Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that god is with the righteous." ...or blunt and to the point, sura 2:190 "Slay them wherever you find them." There are several hundred others, equally questionable with regard to moral intent. Of course, if you were to read Deuteronomy or Leviticus, you will find some truly appalling stuff.
