Re: Burning The Qu'ran -

I'm not against burning the Qu'ran. I have huge respect for my Islamic friends, and burning the Qu'ran wouldn't upset me. If an Atheist burns a Bible, I also wouldn't care. Burning a book isn't going to change anything -- the only thing you're doing is adding to pollution, wasting your money, and being selfish. If an anti-American burns an American flag, I also don't care. Burning the flag will only burn the flag, not get rid of the idea of America being a "free" country. Burning the flag, Bible, or Qu'ran represents your huge disrespect for what it stands for; you're expressing your opinion in a visual and demeaning way. However, when you take your beliefs further and threaten someone else because their beliefs are different than yours, then we have a problem on our hands. What I always say...if people have such a problem with America's laws, or the people, or whatever, then do something in a positive manner instead of sit in your chair and complain about it all day. If you got a problem and yet don't do anything about it, then stop complaining or get the fuck out of America . Burning the Qu'ran won't prove anything, or motivate people to take action against the Islamic population. Martin Luther King Jr. made a difference through nonviolence...and yet he still got shot. If you really want to convey a message, if you really want to motivate people to make a difference, then ignorance will only take you so far until you realize that what you're doing isn't making a difference; it's just making you look stupid.
