This may not be a popular reply, and while I am NOT a fan of the Koran, I feel this church burning them is infantile at best. It’s a ‘why stoop to their level’ kind of thing.

I'll back you up.

Who is the enemy? The Taliban nut-job that is shooting at you or the Afghan villager that is sick of the extremism of the Taliban but still considers himself a Muslim?

Let's say that there is a patriotic Jewish veteran's group that is appalled at the nut-jobs of Fred Phelps Westboro Baptist Church and their protests at soldier's funerals. So, to protest against Phelps' nut-jobs, they decide to burn copies of the New Testament and pictures of Jesus.

Has that patriotic Jewish veteran's group done anything of value except to create more enemies for themselves that have nothing to do with the Westboro Baptist Church?

There may be Catholics that go to Mass once every 5 years but, once a non-Catholic starts insulting the beliefs of their parents and insulting the Virgin Mary, you have a pissed off ex-Catholic that suddenly became more Catholic than the Pope and a fight on your hands.

All the Church is going is providing a giant propaganda tool to the Taliban.

You apparently have no clue.
