"Airplanes are flown into buildings because of words, and hate crimes against gays," Merrill said. I have news for Mr. Merrill; the Muslims hate a lot more people than just Gays. To be precise they hate everyone who is not a Muslim.
But they do have specific punishments for individual subsets of non-Muslims. And of course the punishments for Gays is not the least unpleasant of those punishments.

At least he hates both Muslims and Christians alike. No mention whether he hates Jews or has desecrated the Torah.
He’s leaving out Hindus. That’s so exclusionary!

“The purpose of editing and burning Abrahamic Holy Books is to eliminate homophobic hate,”
oh ya that’ll work.

Some times I’m totally befuddled by FR and how things work. Apparently it needed excerpting. The auto-excerpting worked this time. Then again, who knows. Maybe you’ll never read this again either...

Watch out - if this story gets picked up around the world (and it probably will once CAIR et al get into the act) this could provoke the kind of insane reaction that will make the “Danish cartoons” matter look like kids in the sandbox. Muzzie mobs have rioted and slaughtered large numbers of infidels over a lot less. While I have no regard for the book in question, I certainly do not see any good reason to try to inflame those parts of the world into riots and mass murder. Is this guy trying to get a fatwa issued to become infamous? He may get a lot of innocent people killed in the process....

LOL! Some “artist”. He didn’t show his “work” in public, and I bet he’s gonna get real nervous if his picture suddenly starts getting lots of hits and turns up on Al Jazeera.

NEW YORK, July 26, 2007 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Charles Merrill, the artist who recently edited the Holy Bible with a black marker and pair of scissors, has lately burned a rare Islamic Holy Book, The Koran, valued at $60,000.00, in an undisclosed Chicago location. "The purpose of editing and burning Abrahamic Holy Books is to eliminate homophobic hate," Merrill stated. "Both ancient books are terrorist manuals." Gotta give this homo credit for being a hell of a lot braver than most.

Wait a minute; He`s gay but then he says:
“I inherited the rare Islamic book from my late wife, Evangeline Johnson Merrill.”
Was Evangeline a man? Or is Charles one of those who suddenly one day decides he is gay?
I must say though, burning a rare Koran is a commendable accomplishment, although he may want to re-read that Bible.

So I guess that means he is not prejudice because he hates everyone equally.

Is this guy trying to get a fatwa issued to become infamous?He just wants to be famous amongst the liberal elites. Destroying the Bible wasn't good enough - too passé. This is a bit more novel and daring. Plus, there could be personal consequences to this one.

At least he’s an equal opportunity offender. He slashed the Bible, yes, but he did to Koran too. Too many whimpsy liberals only dare to do that to the Bible, but not to Koran.

The guy was probably ticked off because he couldn’t get what he wanted for it on eBay.
To: Enchante
clarification: the “book” in question for which I have no regard is the 2nd one burned (NOT the Holy Bible)— the ‘rare’ one he inherited from his late wife — though it’s probably spitting on her memory to burn it since obviously it was a remarkable item she received from a King (not that I would care, but presumably she did since she held onto it so long instead of giving it away)

Was Evangeline a man?He/she/it is now dead and this guy inherited a LOT because he was married to said now dead person. I hope that was looked into carefully.
