Burned Qurans Left at Va. Muslim Center

By Associated Press

June 16, 2005, 9:52 PM EDT

BLACKSBURG, Va. -- A bag stuffed with burned Qurans was left in front of an Islamic center, shocking members when they arrived for prayers.

The torched copies of the Muslim holy book were inside a plastic shopping bag, members of the Islamic Center of Blacksburg said. They said the bag had been placed at the center's front door sometime before Saturday prayers.

"It is a shame that people are so ignorant," member Idris Adjerid said.

Kevin Foust, the agent in charge of the Roanoke FBI office, said Thursday his office is helping local police investigate. He declined to speculate whether the incident would be classified as a hate crime under state or federal law.

Or maybe Islamonazis staged this themselves to show how "evil" infidels are.

I'm sorry. I will not trust them. I don't blame Americans for not trusting Japanese after they bombed Pearl Harbor. Call it bigotry all day. You are not going to change my mind. There is too much evidence to support my opinion. Muslims are involved in nearly every shooting war on the planet. Nearly every terrorist attack (I said nearly) in the last thirty years has come at the hands of Muslims. All the violence in the Middle East-Muslims. World Trades-Muslims Iran hostage crisis-Muslims. Reporters murdered in the Philippines and citizens murdered in Iraq-Muslims. So someone sent some burned murder manuals to them. BFD.

Coming soon to a shopping mall near you. Don't doubt for a second that this type of thing is in their plans.

I disagree about the way this this thread is evolving. Let's just say there are only 5 chemical substances needed to bring a house down. The first two comprise what is called Thermite (not extinguishable with water). The other three are used to ignite the firestorm. There are consequences for this. Is anyone prepared for this sort of activity? Burning people alive is not the way to get to a wholesome diet.

WTF?????????

"Islam has to be the deadliest joke ever."

Problem is, it's not a joke -- these people are seriously crazy, IMO.

This isn't right. I am a Christian, and people should treat others with more respect than this.

Thanks for saying that

"At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another.".... from a book I have read......

No one can REALLY hate till you do it in the name of "God." That said, this is probably not the work of a "Christian" but just someone with a good dose of "the ragheads are a plague on the earth" syndrome. I have been infected with it myself at times. It is hard to keep in mind that MEN are seldom our true enemies. I wish I could experience real hatred for evil men and couple it with pity for the same men who are enslaved by evil.

I do know this, though. The pretentious moralism that has displaced the gospel in the "Christian" community is going to come back and bite us someday.

The musklums probably committed this act for some sympathy garnering. I say, burn all of those (q)runs and send the muskies packing to their mecca. Once they all arrive at their over-sized lump of charcol, nuke it.(Problem Solved)

It is time America deported all musklums and their 13th century idealology. The democrats would be angry, for deporting their constituents. The bottom line, our survival as a great nation is at stake. NSNR

You obviously don't know many Muslims.

I'm reminded of another topic we have discussed.
Allow me to use the same evidence here as you employed...
Google 'muslim attack'
You'll get 3,610,000 hits.
By your logic this proves all muslims are bad and cannot be trusted.

Perfect point and the truth. Musklums have no place in our country much less our military and law enforcement. The enemy within, domestic/international terrorists(musklums).NSNR

Let's put that another way: if a legitimate exercise of one's First Amendment freedom of speech is to burn a flag, then it must also be a legitimate exercise to burn Korans, otherwise, it's religious discrimination on the part of the government (for prosecuting one and not the other) which also violates the First Amendment.

You are wrong, you are anti-human, you are obviously a threat to the rest of the planet - you apply logic to this situation. You must be reeducated. Your IP number is being traced e'en as you read this and the brownshirts will be knocking through your door before you can finish it. You will be assimilated.

Allah gonna KICK 'yo can, boyah!

Alice, do you ever think about what really goes on inside their hideous mosques? I do, especially Calypso Louie's NOI(Nation Of Idiots)

I wonder how his(NOI) anti-infidel hate programming classes and tactical urban operations training is prospering? I guess the FBI must be too scared to check on their activities.

We would not want to offend anyone of the musklums. Hell, let's go round up all the real terrorists (white militia groups)(sarcasm)NSNR

I worked with 13 muzzies around 9-11. You stated no muslim would tell you they were happy about 9-11. Well, I had half of the muzzies tell me that we deserved 9-11. The other half were silent at best!!

"Why don't you two get a room?"

Typical nonexistent logic of the brainless appeasers.

Why don't you get a clue?

Your posts indicate that you could use one.
