If youre trying to understand what burning a Quran would look like to a Muslim, consider this:
For Christians, Jesus is the word of God. For Muslims, the Quran is the word of God. Imagine someone burning Jesus, says Emad El-Din Shahin, a religion professor at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana.

The Quran teaches Muslims to respect the sacred books of Christians and Jews as well, says Chris van Gorder, a religion professor at Baylor University in Texas.
To burn a holy Quran for a Muslim is to throw down a gauntlet, he says. Those who deface any holy book, including the Bible, in many Muslim countries today, will be executed.
How many Bibles have been burned in the Muslim world in the last nine years? None.

Who cares? The only folks who see CNN anymore are at airports - and they don’t give a smelly Obama what’s on anyway.
If there aren't any Jews, Christians, Hindus or other infidel to kill, Muslims will readily kill other Muslims.
They bomb mosques, they blow up Muslim shrines, they kill people on pilgrimages.
Islam, the equal opportunity killer.
Regardless of race, color or creed, they'll kill you.
Allah fubar!
BUMP
Most Christians are advanced enough to realize that the Bible - the actual hold-in-the-hand item, is an object like any other thing. It can be replaced plus it’s electronic too! We won’t go rioting in the streets if a book gets burnt.
You beat me to it.

I was watching FOX until 0 started lecturing the obvious. “...people just going to work....men....women...’some’ children....Americans, blah, blah, blah....”
Muslim Protestors Burn Cross on Streets of London
...and...
Some among the crowd burned an effigy of Tony Blair on a crucifix and then set fire to a Union flag and a Stars and Stripes.
Led by a man on a megaphone, they chanted, "USA watch your back, Osama is coming back" and "Kill, kill USA, kill, kill George Bush". A small detail of police watched as they shouted: "Bomb, bomb New York" and "George Bush, you will pay, with your blood, with your head."
Note to CNN: There are none so blind...
“would Muslims burn bibles?”
Insignificant. They slit throats, stone people to death, blow up themselves and innocent people with explosives, fly planes into buildings, etc.
Personally, anyone can burn my bible any time they want. I’ll just get another one. Burning my Bible doesn’t destroy its message.
We know they would.
This is absolutely outrageous and treasonous to lie the American public like this!!!
Apparently, the idiots at CNN FAIL MISERABLY on how to use Google or any other search engine.....................

I want to scream when that puke comes on TV or the radio. I turn off the volume and look away. The Mullah disgraces everyone that every sacrificed for this country.
Yep. Heard this yesterday on Hannity, knew it from several sources before that. Don’t like it but can’t change it.
Pray for peace but prepare for war.
Pray that men and women with cojones to bring the traitors to justice win through in November and that they carry out their promises to bring at least some justice back to our badly battered nation.

Of course it is - that is why people today are burning them.
“I burn a Koran in your general direction.”
