Share the Quran

[warwick.hoy]

I'm not sure what the rules are on politics and religion.

I'm not a religious person by any means,...but the lunacy in Gainesville Fl. is prompting me to post this.

Here is the context.

I realize what a lot of this is,...making an issue out of a non issue in order to deflect attention from actual issues.

My beliefs are pretty much about balance,...so rather then disseminate hatred I want to share this.

Mods,...my apologies if this goes against the TOS.

So, is this how our civilisation is going to end? A bunch of idiots burning another bunch of idiots' book, who retaliate by burning the first bunch of idiots' book?
It's turtles all the way down. And it escalates from there?
Why won't these morons get off my planet already?



It sure distracts from any discussion about politicians stonewalling benefits for the families of emergency service workers who died or fell ill doing their jobs when the WTC came down though doesn't it. A whole lot of dog wagging going on.

Looks like he is backing out after a visit from the Feds,...I can't believe our government actually did something. HOLY FUCKING SHIT.

My friend's birthday is Saturday as well. She told me she was having a Bible burning picnic, before I got light of this. Makes sense now.

Aren't they all Sarah Palin's kids' names?

I don't think this is justified.

Burning a religious text based on the actions of a small sect of one religion, whether or not the rest of the congregation agrees with them sounds like burning a Qur'an because you think Muslims blew up the WTC (which isn't to say they didn't, I really don't know).

Or maybe they're making a statement that all religions are equally oppressive and detrimental to the progress of the human race

(no comment as to whether I agree with this statement or not)

Then why not burn every religious text you can get your hands on?

Silly pastor...everyone knows Bush did it

The freaking US GENERAL warned him that it's a baaaad idea. Extremists are going to take it as offensive from our whole culture shitting on their culture and they're going to attack OUR soldiers more. If you're a real "patriot" LISTEN TO YOUR GENERAL, FOR FUCK'S SAKE

[Bellyheart]

Well it turned into a potluck if that makes anyone feel better. I completely agree with the small sect thing, however, we were just joking about, although I wouldn't mind, to make the statement the Chief specified.

I hope some of those Floridians fall in the fire.
