Both instances...are sheer evil...

It is evil to burn a Koran to show one's utter rejection of Islam? Why?

IMO, if you are a Christian, then why not just live your life through Christ and those teachings every single day? You wouldn’t have much of an appreciation for Muslims burning the Bible, if you are a Christian, eh?

I am an atheist and would never burn a Bible or a Koran. Burning books is actually just really uncool and immature, IMO.

Go help the needy in the name of Jesus Christ and you will do so much more to denounce Islam than burning a book. If you have to find a book to burn, burn a ‘fable’ or ‘fairy tale’ or even a porn mag and write ‘Koran’ across the top then burn it. Honestly, I think that would say as much.

Again, this is all just my atheistic opinion. Ultimately, people should do what they feel is right.

Good question. This is maddness. Rude is not evil.

We are losing if these thoughts are coming from conservatives

Well it´s definitely wrong!
A fact is it will offend millions of moderate muslims (yes they exist too) and will play the jihadists (who hate us all anyway) straight into their hands.
And inocent people will die because of this (because we all know that there will be violence once this is transmitted all over the world) so yes it´s evil in my oppinion because there is no nessersary to do this. It´s only done to provoke a violent reaction (of course the muslims will fall straight into this trap as we all know but anyway).
There will be blood because of this. Only radical elements will win because of this situation.

That obviously is apparent to most of us—it would seem almost all of us—since we reject Islam, especially the radical off-shoots; and we don’t find it either necessary or appropriate to burn what millions of other humans consider a holy book.

Is it not evil to carry out an unnecessary and provocative action that will be used by Jihadists as a symbolic action to justify further, and well as past murderous actions, against non-Muslims—and even other Muslims who may be working with Western nations and personnel in the war against terror in such places as Iraq and Afghanistan?

Why would anyone want to do anything, even in “the name of liberty”, to, provide ammunition to those to whom liberty is anathema and whose life mission is to destroy it?

Ironically, in proposing to torch a Koran, this fool only feeds the flames of radical Islam.
