He does this all the time.
For the record, he does NOT represent any Christians, I'm one and feel no need to throw persecution-related tantrums like he does in every thread related to religion.
That being said, these Florida goons are making the world a worse place. There is nothing laudable about their message, morals, or values. There is nothing defensible here. They are bad people, bad Christians, and any criticism they get is soundly deserved.

I want to say "fuck these ugly hypocrites", because they're so clearly contravening the teachings of the being they claim to follow, but, y'know, it's been happening for a while now - like, centuries upon centuries. Ignorance is generally the precursor to evil.

I don't know what to say. Do they know quran has huge sections of text on Christ ?
That will not and should not happen. Muslim consider both bible and Torah sacred too. I have all of them in my home.
Op you forgot G,A,F? mame
metamonk said:this is not a good idea. maybe the muslims should organize an event the same day and burn the bible. see who can make the biggest fire or something. make it a competition.

Unfortunately, there was a lot of these type of people down there, at least where I was staying at the time. Also some of them are really high positions in academia, which sucked for me.
Regardless, let's just say that I am happy that I am healthy and alive today by able to survive FL.
ULTROS!
People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

They also respect the Virgin Mary. I know that Islam and Christianity have a number of things in common.
Essentially, burning the Quran is basically like burning their own Bible. :|

I love the richly sarcastic tone of the article. That is the appropriate way to discuss such meat-heads.

And where in Florida was this? Would you care to name these people in high positions who were discriminating against you?Zapages said:Unfortunately, there was a lot of these type of people down there, at least where I was staying at the time.

Whata bunch of retards.
Must have been a really really small school. Most academic institutions, even smaller less prestigious ones, are usually liberal bastions of diversity. Small, private, denominational schools would be the only ones that would immediately come to mind as having a systemic problem. This incident itself is happening in the small town of Gainesville. The metro area has a population of about a quarter mil, with half of that being students of the U of F. The people that actually live in some of these small, backwoods, places and the people attending and working at a school are usually not the same.Zapages said:I don't know if I should name and elaborate more on the events as the school has yet to give me any compensation of the whole ordeal.
It just seems strange that something like this would happen in a scholastic setting. I'm not questioning the veracity of your story, though. It's just your reluctance to explain makes me... errr... question the veracity of your story.

So in order to convince Muslims to convert you will deeply offend them by burning their most sacred book? Yeah, seems logical.
I predict another banning soon, if for nothing else for being an insufferable asshole.

Oppression, Religion and economy are probably the biggest reasons I can think of - there are probably the scenarios where some do it out of a weird sense of nationalism, or misplaced blame for their poverty, but I can't think of many other reasons.
I went to high school for two years neat Tampa, FL. There were skin heads everywhere. I had to learn how to tell the difference between SHARP's (skin heads against racist people) and Skin Heads by the color laces they wore (white = Nazi, Red = SHARP). School was shut down once because windows had been broken out and swastikas were painted all over the school. The head skin head was the superintendents kid so he was untouchable. It was insane. Total culture shock. On a side note I dated a punk rock jewish girl who was friends with the head skin head at school., but agreed tehy'd kill each other outside of school. :lol It was all very confusing. This was early nineties so I just wore my long hair and flannel shirts and kept quiet.

Burning books. Yeah, nothing good has ever come out of that. Oh, burning books belonging to a particular religious sect of people. Yeah, wow, good luck with that.

They're just scared of the heavy Muslim population growth. A population that is projected to overcome that of Christianity in my lifetime (I'm in my 20s).
Muslims don't arrange missionary trips to try to bribe poor people into converting to Islam, but even as Christians do this, missionaries complain about how Islam is still penetrating African populations. That their efforts are being subverted by Islam's expansion.

I don't see anyone suggesting that they shouldn't have the right to do this. Unless the Quran is full of dangerous chemicals, this is clearly protected under the first amendment.shadowsdarknes said:
