Church will burn Quran

[(Q)]

This is so outrageous I don't even know where to begin.

You could try the rioting and violence in the streets perpetrated by Muslims over a cartoon depiction of Muhammad. It is equally insane behavior.

I mean, if you guys think Musilms are so evil, crazy and bloodthirsty, why provoke us?

Provoking, as in drawing cartoons? Hilarious. :roflmao:

 

[(Q)]

because people are the same.

Nope, believers are the same when they perpetrate violence in their gods name.

By the way this news made me think how burning is so effective yet an ancient way of showing one's hate or protest. You couldn't apply the same technique for digital data.

"I hate your religion and I will burn my computer!"
"Really, good for you..."

that's a circumstance. people perpetuate violence for all kinds of reasons. racism for example.

Like the KKK, for example? Good Christian folks?

i wouldn't call them that.

You'd probably call them your brethren.

i think that assumption deserves a "fuck you". what do you think?

It is your god given right to do so just like it is your god given right to spread all the hatred your psychotic religion produces.

Christian terrorism is religious terrorism by groups or individuals, the motivation for which is typically rooted in an idiosyncratic interpretation of the Bible and other Christian tenets of faith. Christian terrorists draw upon Christian scripture and theology to justify violent political activities .

Beginning in the late nineteenth century, white supremacist Ku Klux Klan members in the Southern United States engaged in arson, beatings, cross burning, destruction of property, lynching, murder, rape, tar-and-feathering, and whipping against African Americans, Jews, Catholics and other social or ethnic minorities.[36]

During the twentieth century, members of extremist groups such as the Army of God began executing attacks against abortion clinics and doctors across the United States.

i'm aware of how it works.

It will be extremely interesting to compare responses on this thread vs the one regarding "building a mosque on ground zero".

Also stupid. Private property is private property.

Don't want a mosque at ground zero? Don't go to it.

At first, I will admit, the thought of it annoyed me. Then, upon further thought, I realized that even worrying about such a thing is, itself, as idiotic as worshiping some stupid deity.

Personally, I think any sort of book-burning festival should be considered "incitement to riot" or at least "disturbing the peace" (my peace anyway)

Not me. Free speech, at least for individuals, is sacrosanct. You don't have any right from being ridiculed, insulted, annoyed, offended or otherwise belittled. If you did, then nobody would have a freedom of speech.

I forget, is this covered by freedom of speech (ironic if so) or right to peaceful protest? Either way, a bit of reclassification is in order.

Most certainly.

You are as free to burn Korans as artists are to put pictures of Christ in tanks of piss or for others to burn the American flag while changing "Down With America!!" Freedom of speech doesn't really mean a lot if it comes with all sorts of stipulations.

Quite possible. Perhaps a retaliatory "bible-burning" is in the offing? That should incite serious retaliation for said retaliation - ad nauseam.

No it won't. Christians--taken on the whole and when acting in the name or defense or interests of their religion--have mostly stepped beyond rioting about bible burnings and other afrontery.

Stand by please...

Oh. I'll be watching.

This is the news from CNN:



I can not be so sure, but my guess is that even the crusades couldn't plan such a weird action a thousand years ago. As a non-believer, it doesn't bother me in any religious level; but I can see it will cause unnecessary tension.

reminds me of the church that burned bibles what weren't the King James version, the one 'true' bible.

Where the hezmada have you been, Orly? You don't call. You don't write. Jeez.

LOL, I know right!! My life keeps interfering with my life.

The burning of any book is the mark of the truly ignorant..

Of course, I was waiting for the laughing fool to post his usual horseshit. I could explain why you're a moron but I know it would go over you're head and really it's not like you would respond with a coherent response anyway, is it? I honestly don't even think you're capable of doing so even if you tried. Tell you what, I have a nice shiney set of keys, that should entertain you for about an hour or 4. Run along child, adults are talking.

Now:

 

[Ja'far at-Tahir]

It's not the west, it's just one church in the west.

I am very aware of this fact, yes.

Please don't generalize.

I say this all the time but it's never done for Muslims or Islam on this forum.

 

[Ja'far at-Tahir]

yeah, i mean, i don't know how much damage you can do with hinduism

Actually from what I understand there actually is Hindu radicals and I believe hearing something in particular about them being against the Valentine's Day holiday but I'm not sure, I could be wrong but I do remember reading this somewhere.

I think it could be good. I like the idea of lifting up the rock and taking a look underneath at all the scurrying bugs trying to hide from the light. The truth is, Churches all over the world teach that Mohammad was a false Prophet. He must have been. Because revelation ended with the coming of Christ and the Bible is infallible. Mosques all over the world teach that Bahá'u'llá was a false Prophet. He must have been. Because revelation ended with the Last Prophet and the Qur'an is infallible.

*Class: To day the part of Jesus will be played by Mohammad and the Qur'an will replace the Bible*

Same coin, different side.



In the modern world multiculturalism is going to continue and with it a plethora of beliefs. Now we're faced with the implications of a One True God in a world of many True Gods. So, time to take a good long look at the fundamentals of Orthodox monotheisms and the crazy it brings out.

How have multicultural societies dealt with these issues successfully in the past?








Welcome to the world of One God.
