Burning the Koran

[Coss]

Whilst the original idiot hasn't followed through, I believe some other idiots have.

 

Stupid idea, have they not read their own constitution?

 

But.....

 

It seems that if someone in America threatens the Koran or some such other anti muslim behaviour occurs... Then...

 

A whole lot of people in Pakistan or Afghanistan rush outside and kill each other.

 

We might be on to something here....

 

Disclaimer: I am not advocating anything, just observing some bizarre behaviour, not befitting a supposedly peaceful religion.

When an Muslim extremist blows up a mosque, not a peep from Muslims world-wide. Yet a dimwit with a flock of 30 gets a world wide reaction from Muslims.

Christians in Gaza Fear for Their Lives as Muslims Burn Bibles and Destroy Crosses

 

 

After defeating their rivals in Palestinian Authority Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement, Muslim extremists are focusing their attacks on Christians in Gaza City. Christians in Gaza City have issued an appeal to the international community and a plea for protection against the increased attacks by Muslim extremists.

 

Father Manuel Musallem, head of Gaza's Latin church, told the AP that Muslims have ransacked, burned and looted a school and convent that are part of the Gaza Strip's small Roman Catholic community. He told the AP that crosses were broken, damage was done to a statue of Jesus, and at the Rosary Sister School and nearby convent, prayer books were burned.

 

Gunmen used the roof of the school during the fighting, and the convent was "desecrated," Mussalem told the AP.

 

"Nothing happens by mistake these days," he said.

 

Father Musalam additionally told The Jerusalem Post that the Muslim gunmen used rocket-propeled grenades (RPGs) to blow through the doors of the church and school, before burning Bibles and destroying every cross they could get their hands on.

 

[color:red]Catholic Online reports that the heads of Christian churches in the Holy Land have urged both sides to put aside their weapons, noting that the infighting diverted international attention from the national goal of Palestinian independence.

 

"This domestic fighting where brother draws his weapon against brother is detrimental to all the aspirations of achieving security and stability for the Palestinian people," they said. "In the name of the one and only God as well as in the name of each devastated Palestinian, many of whom are still dying, we urge our brothers in the Fatah and Hamas movements to listen to the voice of reason, truth and wisdom."

One young woman told the Catholic News Service that she was concerned the Islamic extremists would "enforce a strict dress code, forcing women to wear veils and robes." One Christian teenager spoke to the Catholic News Service on the condition that her name not be used. She said the days of fighting had been "very difficult" but they were "OK now."

 

 

 

Flashback to 2007 ... extremists are extremists, whatever the faith!

Burn Koran/Bible + Media = Trouble

Burn Koran/Bible + No Media = ?

 

Without the media nobody would even know about all this bullshit.

<< Without the media nobody would even know about all this bullshit. >>

 

 

And without the media coverage probably a lot less would happen!

 

But bad news sells. Remember a few years back when a man had enough and decided to print the Good News newspaper? He printed only cheerful news - people helping each other etc. His newspaper went bust in a few years. But National Enquirer, the Star, Sun etc make millions. Or look at the Thai language papers - Thai Rot etc. Nothing but dead bodies, murder reenactments or national disasters on the front pages.

"CBS' 60 Minutes recently featured a devastating exposé on the violation of Greek minorities' rights in Turkey.

 

Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew of the Greek Orthodox Church, headquartered in Istanbul, courageously criticized the Turkish government for treating him as a "second-class citizen." He went on to state that he felt like he was being "crucified."

And these characters running this country want to join the European Union!

No one seems to have got very upset about that Aussie kid rolling smokes out of pages from both the Bible and Koran. Probably because the media hasn't splashed it the world news.

I read a great take on your point yesterday (to follow), unfortunately, in these times, shit like this gets out to the terrorists long before the mainstream media make it huge.

 

[color:blue]Yesterday afternoon, the leader of a microscopic cult of idiots who announced plans to stage an "international" day of Quran burning in Gainesville, Florida held a press conference, for a rapt media which decided that his moronic plans were the single most important thing going on in America. At that press conference, in front of "9/11 Truther" signs, this cult leader lied to everyone who was watching, telling them that he was going to call off his 9/11 book burning festival because he had successfully reached a deal with the people behind the Park51 community center in Lower Manhattan, in which they would move their facility away from the site of the World Trade Center.
