The Burning of the Koran

I have never heard of Muslims burning the Bible. Do you have anything to support what you stated? I am a Christian and I have met many Muslims and while I have had some discussions with them and of course disagree with some of their beliefs, they never gave me the impression of even the wildest thought of burning a Bible. The ones that I met are not even happy if one would place the Bible on the floor.

I've never heard of, if there is burning of the holy book of Christians by Muslims. I am as Muslims, do not agree if there are Muslims, burning holy books of other religions. Not all Muslims, performing the act. Many Muslims who loves peace, and live peacefully with other faiths. I live in families of different religions, but we always got along, I hope this also happens in the world. On behalf of Muslims, I'm sorry, if there is no pleasure.

You have given many good responses Royalty, so you certainly understand what you have posted and I agree. Having been taught about world missions through most of my Christian life, I have probably heard more often of Muslims killing Christians than burning the Bible, but I'm sure they would. Consider the reaction when a Muslim converts to Christianity. You bring light to an area that requires balance. Christ calls us to live in peace with others, demonstrating love and mercy. We turn the cheek and we give our coat and our cloak, and we forgive our enemies. That is how we treat people. On the other hand, God commands us to know His truth and to proclaim it to the world. The God of the Bible has no problem with us enthusiastically pointing out to those of other religions that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, the life - no other way! Another thing we need to keep in mind is who Jesus Christ is. At Christmas we see Him as the small helpless child. We must remember that He is now sitting at the right hand of God the Father (with all authority), and when He comes again, it will be for judgment, not a love fest! Back to the Florida Pastor who was going to burn the Koran. In the media, it was a huge deal because 'political correctness' currently defends everything Muslim. Just watch and you will see that the famed 'separation of church and state' does not apply to things Muslim. Let's not forget what was behind this burning moment - Muslims wanting to build a victory monument close to Ground Zero. Absolutely insulting to those who love America.

i am also a Christian. i don't know what to react on your idea. but you have a point there. anyways, what i understand in relation to this matter is that the Koran was written and rewritten in the same way it was first published and until now, the same content. it was never interpreted as a new Koran or old Koran. how it was is how it is till now. the Bible, on the other hand, has a lot of translations. and with that it created different ways of understanding and imposed different ideas how should one react on what is written. this gives me the idea why muslims unite in one idea that they should not be discriminated specially when it comes to the Koran. as to us christians, we can't get easily united as we ourselves have no common basic knowledge on what are written now, and were written since the first bible written.

Hi Royalty, Welcome to mylot. Yes the bible is very violent too. I didn't know that the Muslims burned the bible regulaarly. I actually don't get worked up enough over that sort of thing to care. What does bother me is that people are threatning violence over this and that is just wrong.

you are totally wrong. The Bible is a lot more than just a book of peace or a book of love. It's a guide aimed at teaching mankind (which, unfortunately,stubbornly continues to not listen).

well it happens on a daily basis but because christians dont react to it, it passes by. For those of you who are looking for links, what do you think happens during jihads where they kill innocent people cos they are non muslims. What would happen if christians had their own form of jihad and violent doctrines

Our Koran burner received consequence from his work place, not from the police as he was released without charge. - The government of the United States recognizes First Amendment rights. He did however get slapped by his employer which was a railroad who didn't appreciate the kind of negative attention it got by proxy via a holy book burning of whatever stripe. - I believe anyone who would burn a U.S. flag or a Bible would find him or herself in a similar situation, (although the Koran issue is complicated by international concerns for the United States government). - Please also note this fellow's face is all over the media, and the media of today does not go away. Ask any teenage who has done something stupid.

I know what the right move is, you said it in this post, 'Jesus never backed down in the face of adversity', and that is what I have always believed, you will never be able to keep peace in the world by being peaceful, you have to fight against the adversity to keep the peace! I can't understand why the normal human being can't understand this!

Could you post a link where we can see that there are muslims burning the bible?

Burning or destructing any religion symbols only shows that the people who do that have no love in their life. The are full of hatred and suspicion and in my opinion they are not religious.
