Church plans Quran-burning event
 I see your problem sir. You're going to need to replace the toilet because it's been contaminated.
In protest of what it calls a religion "of the devil," a nondenominational church
| Which is to say, generally Protestant Christian, rather than including Druids, Satanists, Hindus and Jews, right? |
in Gainesville, Florida, plans to host an "International Burn a Quran Day" on the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks.
That ought to get their turbans in a knot!
Way more at link. It was really tough not to grab the whole thing! :-)
| This kind of thing is rude and unnecessary. That it's just as much protected speech as burning the national flag, that does not make it any better an idea. Burning the religious books of others has a long tradition -- the Catholic Church burnt the religious books of heretics, Jews, and Muslims; the Orthodox Church burnt the religious books of pagans and Jews; the Nazis burnt the books of everyone they disapproved of, including various varieties of Christians and Jews; Muslims at various times and places burnt everything that wasn't Quran, Hadiths, and Sunna... Burning books is an act that demonstrates the barbarity and poverty of thought of the perpetrators. |
