You get upset when I broadbrush the entire Christian community by the un-sacred acts of a few, but that is exactly what many on this thread have done...but are unable to see the irony if not the hypocrisy.

What was that message from Jesus about pointing out the speck in the eyes of others but not seeing the beam in they own?

Anyone who doesn’t have basic respect for religious objects of another religion do not deserve to have their own respected by anyone else. Taking those books and burning them is the same thing as when some left wing idiot takes the American flag and burns that. It may be only cloth, but the symbolism and underlying intention, not to mention message, is understood even if it isn’t verbalized.

So all the people on this thread who spent time exhibiting and rationalizing obviously abhorrent behavior should look to the beam in their own eye because I will guarantee you that if you don’t, Jesus will. And by then it will be too late for you.

Not upset: I object. You continue to equate Christianity as on an equal ground with Islam. And you say, “It will be too late,” as though Jesus wields justice the way “allah” is said to do. Jesus wields grace and mercy, while teaching us to call a viper a viper, and a liar a liar.
Another honor killing in the news this week, BTW. And in the US. Not Christian, Muslim.
