Burning the Koran!!! Is she nuts or has she guts! | |
Lucky Charms User ID: 15253317 Ireland 04/30/2012 05:46 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | She is wrong. Burning books, any books, regardless of content is always wrong. This is not a path I would like to see humanity go down again. I'm a fairly militant atheist but I would condemn burning the quran, bible or any other ancient religious text purely on academic grounds, I own copies of both and consider them valuable additions to my library. The Quran has value far beyond any spiritual mumbo jumbo, it's a historical document, a cultural record and like it or not has important significance. Plus burning books? Isn't that a little medieval? Shall we revive the stake and iron maiden as well? Bottom line, don't burn books you barbarian, books don't hurt people, people hurt people. A bunch of text on paper isn't suppressing women, dumb men who are intellectually stunted enough to believe what it says are suppressing women. Evil fucktards who use the text to justify their neurosis and twisted world view are to blame here and even if you burnt every copy in existence they would still be twisted, still be evil. Don't burn books... that is all. 'Magically Delicious' |

Don't burn books... that is all. While I agree with your sentiments there is plenty of evidence that books have been responsible for many, many deaths. When the conquistadors arrived in south America a priest handed a bible to one of the native chief's who not understanding what it was threw it to the ground. The priest screamed he has blasphemed and ordered the soldiers to open fire. Five hundred innocent natives died that day. Books have been used to justify war and Israel is a prime example using the Torah to justify murder as they believe they are gods chosen people. Mankind has a very long way to go to evolve beyond the superstitious nonsense that is used to justify wars, murder and even pedophilia While I agree that many books are valuable a lot of what is written in books like the koran and the bible, torah etc are altered to suit those who want to control. Much of the original message is lost in translation and deliberately manipulated. Take a look at the amount of people still stuck in this religious paradigm and you begin to realize that we are screwed unless there is a major mind altering event. It saddens me that so much information in books was lost when they burned the library of Alexandria and so much more is locked away in the vaults of the vatican. Perhaps she is venting her anger at the way women have been vilified in many religious books. I don't condone her actions but I do try to understand how she feels. Peace. stitch |

Its a book that is printed more times then it is burned. Hell lets have a bible burning day just so we can show there world that nothing bad come from it unless you make that bad happen. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 3131727 Canada 04/30/2012 07:25 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I take a different perspective on it. When the California Preacher burned a Koran and made news all over with it, a UN compound in Afghanistan was over run as a result and 20 peacekeepers were killed and or beheaded (including the woman). Now. Burning books of any ideology is illogical. However. Killing 20 people from the result of this action is irreprehensible, illicit, and extremist. However the extremists like to blend in really well. If we REALLY want to know who the extremists are in the muslim community we should be burning a Koran a day in every Afghanistan village and city. However I would suggest they should mount 30 mm miniguns on the compounds, there is going to be alot of people to shoot. "Afghan protesters angered by the burning of a Koran by an obscure U.S. pastor killed up to 20 UN staff, beheading two foreigners, when they overran a compound in a normally peaceful northern city on Friday in the worst-ever attack on the UN in Afghanistan."

Lets call a spade a spade, and extremists extremists, by comparing the reaction. Anyone balls enough to want to explore this experiment? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 15282848 Bullshit. Did you read my post? I would and actually have done so. I've condemned burning of the bible in threads like this several times in the past, including here on GLP. Feel free to search if you care so much about what I would or would not do. Again, I would condemn the burning of ANY ancient religious text and am not impressed at the prospect of burning ANY book. As I said, I own a Quran, I own a Bible, I consider them both valuable possessions. Don't tell me what I would and would not do. You are wrong, I'm sorry, you know what they say about assumptions... they make an ass out of you, period. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 15166070 Hong Kong 04/30/2012 09:11 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This woman obviously feels very strongly about the Koran. It takes guts to do what she is doing but its hard to disagree with her when you hear what those passages have to say.I have a philosophy of live and let live, however I can see how some of those passages can be considered a very real threat and insult to women. Is she right??? Quoting: siobian [link to www.youtube.com] Wow, what a fucking loser. Look at how tightly wound this hag is.....pathetic Abrahamic sheep, pissing all over each other to prove each other correct in the end. What a sick joke, I pray for MAD. |

He will handle everything. Give it all to God!! Love, Pray, Repent and Forgive For the Time is Near!! #LPRF Do you have eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart to understand? JESUS CHRIST is the ONLY WAY to SALVATION, DELIVERANCE and PEACE! Soon his grace will be taken from the earth and his WRATH will be poured out. Accept JESUS CHRIST while the GRACE of GOD is still available. May the Peace of God be with you! Love, Pray, Repent and Forgive. |
