Doesn't this classify as a fuckin hate crime?

No. Thankfully, we don't have an equivalent of the incredibly creepy Canadian Human Rights Commission (yet).


Canada is awesomesauce

Maybe, but that particular bit of Orwellian bullshit is an absolute fucking disgrace.

Honestly if they wanted to be dicks, they should just have a Mohammed-drawing party.  Burning the Koran is 10 times worse and makes it harder for anybody else to defend them.  Of course, they should have the right to do both, but they also have the right to pull their heads out of their asses any time they'd like, and I don't see them exercising that one.

"It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort," Gen. Petraeus said in an interview. "It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems. Not just here, but everywhere in the world we are engaged with the Islamic community."

Is from that article linked above.

I am sorry, we really have things backwards here. We have a group of stupid people in Florida, who due to not liking a Mosque going up in NY, chose to burn some books. BFD, no one gets hurt, and some books go poof.

Now, in retaliation to this, we think some people around the world are going to take this information, and start killing people with it. So, one group burns books, and one group murders people, and we are apologetic about the morons in Florida?

This is like someone sticking there tong out at someone, and getting there face blown off for it, and taking the side of the guy who pulled the trigger.

If burning a book makes someone want to kill, I say bring it.

You're missing the entire point. They have the right to do it but it's tasteless, unnecessary, hate-filled, and absolutely represents the exact opposite of what their own religious figure, Jesus, preached to the masses.

I won't back anyone whose motives are filled with intolerance and hate, which these people obviously live by (otherwise I think they would have refrained from making those "Islam is of the devil" t-shirts).

Besides, it's hard to claim that they're doing anything because of the mosque... after all, they printed up those t-shirts last year. It's pretty apparent they don't like Muslims for being Muslim, which is absolutely fucking ridiculous and should not be supported by anyone with a brain.

Christians are, if anything, worse than Muslims.


Riiiiight. You realize that this statement makes you look just as foolish as those people wearing "Islam is of the devil" shirts, right?

Broad-sweeping statements like that one are what cause intolerant and ignorant thinking like this to gain traction in the first place.

This act of burning books will only result in the undermining of the efforts of thousands of Christians around the world as well as fuel the hatred of Islamic extremists.  As a Christian, and a human-being, I am greatly disturbed.

Why do few Christians have to make the rest of us look like bigots?

Think of how normal Muslims must feel when their extremist brethren blow up people in the name of their church.
