You are absolutely right, of course. In America, book burning is ALWAYS wrong. Insulting another’s religion is ALWAYS wrong. But, FR is full of nominal Americans who reserve the right to burn others’ books and condemn others’ religions. It is the nature of blogs that everyone thinks their opinion is equal. BS. You stand up for the right principles even when it goes against your ego needs.
I am disturbed to hear from the United States Army on the issue about those 50 people in Florida burning the Quran, one because the military should not be addressing such a small, domestic, civilian demonstration and also because last year the United States Army was burning bibles.
Actually, the right to burn a book is part of free speech, which is an American right.
Really? So Jesus was wrong?
John 8:42Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. 43Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? 47He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."
How on earth is book burning always wrong? People can dispose of their own property as they see fit. And as for insulting other peoples religions, it’s crazy to say that it’s always wrong. And even when it is wrong, it’s pretty harmless. I don’t care if Muslims insult Christianity, and actually I think the religious grievance industry is a plague on society. Muslims should take the same attitude.
