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.

"Airplanes are flown into buildings because of words, and hate crimes against gays," Merrill said.

Besides, how could he afford a $60000 Koran.

It's in the story. It was his now-dead wife's. To add to that he is gay.

His now-dead wife's.

Gay.

Wife now dead.

Inherited MUCHO.

“If he had any guts he would have burned it in front of the nearest biggest mosque — after announcing his intentions in advance.”

Then everyone would have seen his guts I reckon. ;)

Another questioned what would happen had this been a Bible.

Liberals would applaud. The National Endowment for the Arts would give him millions in tax payer funded grants.

I’m guessing this guy will have one of those Salman Rushdie like rulings hanging over his head soon. What was it, a jihad, faqwah or something like that?

Do you cheer for the gay guy or the koran?

Neither... It profits nothing to "cheer on" insanity...

“But see how the OTHER side treats his burning of their Koran and watch them go bat-guana insane.”

He definately has signed his own death warrant with this one.

He’s a wacko, but at least he is underlining a point about Islam. That can’t be all bad.

FYI - He already made his point about Christianity. And he calls both the Koran and the Bible terrorist manuals.
