So WHAT is actually the bigger lesson in the Koran Burning?

[Doc]

#1. That American and other Western personnel and commanders acted ignorantly in their disposal of Korans?

OR

#2. That so many of those practitioners of the "Religion of Peace" riot, beat, murder and maim, over this ignorant act?

(PLEASE NOTE: Islam in NO WAY offers any respect nor recognizes the sanctity of OTHER Religions, or their books, or their places of worship...)

 

[Wulk]

1. I don't know if it were ignorance, or stupidity, or...both

2. I wonder what the reaction would be, in one of the deep fundamentalist Christian locations, in the US, if someone were to pile up bibles and burn them!

Wrong Days. Muslims offer great respect to the religious books of others, especially, Jewish, or Christian. Have you never heard the phrase: "people of the book"?

 

[GordonGecko]

Let's see Doc.....a Muslim army from a Muslim country come in to TENNESSEE to help provide security due to "some reason"....

and the Muslim Army burns a bunch of Bibles even if by accident. Your average fundy/evangey Christian would just....."write a strongly worded letter"?

 

[Angel of Dearth]

I'm thinking I need a new avatar. What do you think?




I especially like this one since the three stooges were Jewish.

 

[Figjam]

...how about:

#3. That they don't want us there. We are not serving any purpose there other than continuing to support a CORRUPT government - and they would riot even if we accidentally burned the recipe for kabobs...

 

[Figjam]

...go figure...

 

[Angel of Dearth]

Your average fundy/evangey Christian would just....."write a strongly worded letter"?

No. Clearly, the Christian fundamentalists would call for the murders of the offenders and kill 139 protestors just exactly like the Muslim extremists did. Exactly the same. Exact.

Scott Roeder and Eric Rudolph did.

both, those questions are not exclusive from each other.

Ignorant

ing zealots are everywhere. Killing people because you think someone pissed off your god is wrong.
And it doesn't matter if it's done with bricks and bullets or with long-term, untreated illnesses that could have been cured with access to health care.

 

[Figjam]

...didn't Christ teach us to "turn the other cheek"? Because they do it, makes it right?

 

[Angel of Dearth]

Okay. So just in the one picture alone I see four times as many people as you mention.

If you're looking for a game of numbers you're going to pathetically lose.

 

[Angel of Dearth]

Scott Roeder and Eric Rudolph did.

Let's see here. . .

Muhammed Atta and Nawaf al-Hazmi did too.

Okay. Your turn. Come up with two more and I'll do the same. I gotta whole bag of this ready to go.

 

[Number_58]

Sure...I've seen Christians rioting, murdering, and terrorizing others all over the world for destruction of their holy text, unflattering images being drawn of God and/or Jesus...etc. Unless you can show us otherwise.

 

[Angel of Dearth]

Jesus also learned a lot from the Old Testament which has quite a few words of wisdom about fighting and self defense.

Wanna hear some? Or do you already know they exist and hence wouldn't be convinced anyway?

 

[Days]

convinced of what?

...for example? "Anyone who injures their neighbor is to be injured in the same manner: fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. The one who has inflicted the injury must suffer the same injury. "

...seems backward - but then it was BC, no?

 

[Alinvegas]

That Korans burn faster than Bibles?

 

[DefeatObama]

That Korans burn faster than Bibles?

LMAO.... OMG...that's funny....

 

[Days]

actually that was intended for cattle, not humans. The law mandated mending your fences, keeping your animals from getting loose in your neighbor's lands and goring his livestock. If your neighbor does suffer harm from one of your creatures, then the injuries his livestock received from your animals are revisited upon your livestock to match his damages. eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth. God never said for humans to do that to each other... in fact, there were cities of refuge mandated by Mosaic Law, so that if a fight broke out and one man killed another man, and it wasn't premeditated, the man who killed his neighbor could flea to a city of refuge so that there wouldn't be retaliation from the kin of the man he killed. So there was no eye for eye and tooth for tooth Law for humans... just livestock.
