I mean what type of church is this?? This gives Christians a very bad name. I wonder what would Jesus Do on this matter? I want to hear how people will makes excuses for this action.

I have an entire box of Korans that I use for firestarter every day in my fireplace.
Is there a problem with that?

You broadcast what you are doing before you do it?

If an individual wants to destroy the Koran have at it. I have little patience for Islam.
But it is wrong for an organized church to do it. Shame on the church leaders who thought of this.

Do you take out billboards, make press releases, etc before doing it?
Plus, I know you are full of shit. You wouldn't buy one in the first place

The U.S. of A. - we're still intolerant of other people's culture, we just don't chop your head off for it.

Can't remember what church it is but this is dumb as shit the way are trying to make a big stand on this. I don't care if Muslims in this country are offended. I do care that any of those dumb fucks that are not killing our men on the ground keep not killing them over in the Muslim countries though.
On my own, yeah I'd be happy using the Koran, the bible or whatever other worthless pieces of paper were lying around to wipe my ass with.

I agree, it does look bad. However, I do support the right for idiots to hate as much as I support freedom of religion. It''s just sad people are motivated to do this kind of stuff...what a waste of time and effort. The real shame is that this group could be doing so much more "good" than this nonsense.

It gives em' some publicity and I think they are trying to see if the amount of "freedom" that Islam is enjoying is also extended to them. They are probably trying to make a point about which way all the tolerance is swinging.
Free maketing and the guy in charge of the till will have some extra cash because there are enough dumb ass rednecks out there that will think this is a good cause and send some money to them.
It's the simple tried and true Westboro method of getting your name in front of a lot of people by being a dick.

But does the ends justify the means? If American is the greatest country in the world, why do we start acting like the Groups/ Countries we hate??

WE don't, some dumbasses do. We all have free will and we don't all possess a great deal of intellect. That's why these things happen.
They have a right to do it just like the Muslims have the right to build a Mosque/Rec Ctr. near ground zero even if common sense tells you that maybe it ain't the right thing to do.

Good for the guy in FL. I find it interesting that this has got so much press when burning the flag is old news.
Heck at our local Klan meetings we've burned Korans, blacks, Jews, Mexicans, stockbrokers, and Muslims for years and no one has batted an eye.

You did it out of the public eye and that's how it should be done. No need to make a big deal out of it like this.

I find that religious books of every faith are very good for starting fires.

mainejeff found the rub of the story.
If this guy was going to burn Bibles, Torahs, or any other religious book it wouldn't be "as big" of a deal.
Muslims seem to have become a "protected people" by the left.

They certainly have the right to do so...
It is in bad taste however. Almost as tacky as building a mosque within just a few hundred feet of ground zero.
Oh well, what's good for the goose....

For the most part agree. For sure the big 3 - christianity, islam and judaism are utter garbage.
However there is some actual wisdom to be found to be found in eastern mysticism, IMO especially taoism, zen buddhism, and others. Their texts should be required reading for everyone.
Here's a few snippets of beliefs and practices from religioustolerance.org The origins of taoism go back several thousand years
before christ.
The priesthood views the many gods as manifestations of the one Dao, "which could not be represented as an image or a particular thing." The concept of a personified deity is foreign to them, as is the concept of the creation of the universe. Thus, they do not pray as Christians do; there is no God to hear the prayers or to act upon them. They seek answers to life's problems through inner meditation and outer observation.
Time is cyclical, not linear as in Western thinking.
Taoists strongly promote health and vitality.
Five main organs and orifices of the body correspond to the five parts of the sky: water, fire, wood, metal and earth.
Each person must nurture the Ch'i (air, breath) that has been given to them.
Development of virtue is one's chief task. The Three Jewels to be sought are compassion, moderation and humility.
Taoists follow the art of "wu wei," which is to let nature take its course. For example, one should allow a river to flow towards the sea unimpeded; do not erect a dam which would interfere with its natural flow.
One should plan in advance and consider carefully each action before making it.
A Taoists is kind to other individuals, in part because such an action tends to be reciprocated.
Taoists believe that "people are compassionate by nature...left to their own devices [they] will show this compassion without expecting a reward." 3

What a shame christianity and islam took the world hostage.

Absolutely agree. Well put.
Love it too...everytime a christian burns a koran or shows their true racist and intolerant colors.
