Ah ha ha hah... he asks your proof and you give him Loose Change... 

Wait, your not seriously putting this tripe up to support what your saying

who cares?

if you wanna burn fictional books then go ahead, if you wanna real bonfire add in a Bible and a Torah for good measure!

interesting how they are morons now, you were saying they were cleaver at the start of the thread. And escalation in these matters is inevitable, remember it started with an innocent mosque that was intended to help heal (maybe they should have known it would cause a shit storm but their intentions were good, if misguided IMO) then it was escalated to burning religious texts, that kind of thing is bound to cause offence and will undoubtedly lead to bigger worse acts.

Should they be prohibited by low from doing so? No they shouldn't, but that doesn't mean what they did was smart or justified. It is rude, ignorant and will lead to escalation they were stupid to do it. And no what they did in no way justifies what will be done in "revenge".

And as for "If burning a book makes someone want to kill, I say bring it." I hope you weren't being serious with that statement. Because to invite that kind of thing is just stupid.

Burning a book makes some people want to kill, and that sickens me. But it is not a new thing and there will probably always be people who will, especially as long as religion is involved. Which is one of the many reasons I think religion is wrong. Except for ones like Buddhism you can't argue with that religion.

I agree with Rath and everyone else who said similar things. What this church is doing is outrageously stupid and disrespectful, and is just a silly cry for attention to their cause. Mafoo, you're acting like muslims are the enemy when they are not. Taliban and the idiots who would join them and likewise for other similar organizations, those are the enemy.

The people who are wrong, are those who are doing acts of hatred (even if they have the right to do so) to provoke others, whether they are muslim, christian, atheist and so on.

The people who fear the mosque, do so because they are ignorant and associate muslims with the Taliban and other evil doers. Well, guess what, terrorists are humans, just like you and me, thus we must all be terrorists! Run for your lives! ;O

Never expected any different from Christians. And people wonder how terrorists manage to recrute people.

Christians are, if anything, worse than Muslims.

Don't they do that in Western countries to abortion clinics?

yep, not to mention things like the Crusades, and the Israeli Jews blow up Palestinians all the time.

Just weighing quickly, I'm afraid I haven't got time to read through the comments, just the OP and the link. So forgive me.

I see this as equivalent to flag desecration, which is protected by freedom of speech in the USA. If the chruch wants to burn a copy of the Quran in protest then let them do so. But I fully expect retaliation, as the OP said people are already protesting in Indonesia. Pretty much all religious people see their religion as above any significant form of criticism. It's kind of sad, we don't really get this to such an extent with other things such as politics.

Anyway, I think the church has the right to do this and in some ways I can respect them for it, but I do kind of think it is an antagonising douchbag thing to do at the same time.
