International burn a koran day

I'm also very sad, if our Al-quran were burned. This is an insult. But we do not need to show excessive anger. Show them, that Muslims are people who show patience and love peace. I'm curious, where did you find this news. And where is our Al-quran will be burned?

I can say that MOST of the US and possible world is with you on this. And as a Christan, I'm ashamed at these idiots. And I'm not ashamed to call them idiots because that's how they're acting. I actually only heard of this today since I don't watch the news over the weekend and I had responded to a topic here on mylot about burning of a religious document. And I said there that it's a bad idea to burn anything ANYONE deems as 'sacred' no matter what it is. It's not our right to judge others and I think this stupid protest will start something very big and a lot of angry people, not just Muslims, will show some serious back lashing towards this church. What I hope is that people understand that because of one group of stupid people doesn't speak for the whole kind. I know that very well because I've seen one group of people stereotype a whole group. I agree that they're STUPID for doing this and I heard on the news that their explanation is because other people burn the Bible....so what. To sink down to someone's level would just pathetic and of course childish. But it may be a waste of air just to try to talk them out of it. I do wish we could arrest that pastor, but of course that would cause some outrage as well. Good or bad, I don't know, but I do know there will be a lot of talk about it. I just can't understand how anyone can see this as right and that other people are backing him up. It's really mind boggling. All I can do is apologize to anyone who was offended and say that no one should judge anyone on how they are.

Hi Edohusnull, Please don't react to this very small group of people and they are a very small group of people. Most Americans are against this whole thing and are speaking out against it. Our media people don't help matters by publicizing these stupid things and making sure that the world knows and gets worked up about it. They are burning the Koran in order to get a rise out of the Muslim people and hopefully it won't work. All they are doing is trying to spread their hate. Let's hope that it doesn't work.

What Christian sect is this?

Anger breeds anger.... extremists on all sides think not about the innocent but only the perpetrators. I am a christian but grew up with many friends of different religions and I have more fear of the extremists of any religion then the religions themselves. All I can say is to not take what this man says or does personally he does not know you. If the media had left this alone it would not have the effect it is having. If no one knew he was doing it then what would cause anger at it. Like a small child misbehaving for attention.

It's just a book. I can't imagine anyone getting upset if I decided to burn my dictionary.

What is happening in the muslim world with the anger over a small minority (50 People) doing something that is hateful is also wrong. The American people have been the target of a small group of Muslims doing hateful things to us and our way of life. You anger is understood, but don't blame us for the actions of a few "shallow" people. We are speaking out against them and what they are doing. It is just like the American people should not put all Muslims together with the few who are trying to kill all non believers as they put it. It would be nice to see more Muslims speak out against the violence done by a few "shallow" Muslims.

Hi edohusnull, I agree with you, this is a terrible thing for anyone to consider doing, and it is only a few radicals within Christianity who support this. All religions it seems have a few extremists. I'm sure that the majority of Christians are abhorred by the thought that such action might take place. Blessings.

I am sorry. I, too, am sad and angry that some people are planning to do such a despicable act. They have no right to burn the Quran. That is not in keeping with the teachings of Christ. Those people are not just "shallow." Those people who plan to burn the Quran are INSANE. I just hope and pray that all Muslims and Christians will someday treat one another with love and respect. We may be of different faiths, but we can live together in peace and love if we really want to.

Edohusnull, That news saddens and angers me. You see, those people who claim they are Christians are deluded, because Jesus Christ never taught that kind of thing to do to other people or other religions. Those people making hate against Muslims should be put inside a vault!

iam moslem and i said iam dissapointed...dissapointed why our holy books is burnt by a people...we never burn the holy book of other faith

I am a Moslem too, and I am against terrorism. Bombing places in the name of GOD is NOT Islam. Unfortunately, just because some people did that, the rest judges as if Islam is a religion of violence. Let`s say if I were not a Moslem, I am against that act. I am not that religious, but I can`t stand that action. Islam is a religion of peace, even my non-moslem friends admit that. Sometimes mainsteeam media associate bombing with Islam, that`s even worse

I almost agree to you man. But your last sentence made me change my mind. You are no different with those people trying to burn Koran.

I, too, am sad and angered to see people planning to burn the Koran. On one hand, as a Christian, I want to apologize for their actions. However, their actions are not in line with Jesus Christ, therefore, their actions are not "Christian" at all. There is so much bigotry and hatred in this country right now, and it is really fueled by ignorance. People need to learn about Islam, rather than going by what some fringe group pastor is saying or what a conservative media outlet is saying. Knowledge brings understanding. Knowledge is power. One question, however. What is the difference between Koran and Quran? I noticed you differentiated between the two in your post.

I don't believe in burning books because I believe that it is stupid. What does burning books accomplish? Nothing. Now if they want to debate the content in the Quran, I am open to that, because my friends and I have debated content in the Bible and in the Torah and in other books, but to burn a book makes no sense. What kind of message are these people trying to send? I am always reminded of "Fahrenheit 451" when I think of things like this. Where will book burning end? We burn one book, won't society want to burn them all? That is what I see in all of this. No good can come out of burning books.

As I said in another discussion on this topic, it all comes down to some hate-filled idiots going through holy books or political tracts LOOKING for reasons and excuses to hate.
