Just wondering where everyone stands. Me I think it's alot like the Victory Mosque. They have the right but should not do it. Not very Christian in my opinion.
Anyways poll follows and please feel free to elaborate |

Quoted:
If the Muslims burned bibles, the SHTF here... There wouldn't be enough gnashy teeth emoticons to go around. |

Quoted:

Should they? no
Can they? yes Should Muslims be upset about it and say something? yes Should Muslims or anyone else threaten anyone with death over this? no |

They have every right to burn books. It reminds me of Nazis. I think it is in poor taste. I don't think it is a very Christian thing to do. But, they have the right.

Burn `em.
That's all I'm allowed to say, I'm still on double secret probation from speaking my mind on a similar topic. |

It is childish and petty, but they should be able to burn books if they buy them. A far better demonstration would be to put on display all of the atrocities that are permitted and carried out under Islamic law (stoning, honor killings, mutilation of women, etc.). Use pictures, video, first hand accounts, quotes from texts, etc. I am sure that with some effort they could put something together, but it is much easier just buy some books and a lighter.

Quoted: They have the right but should not do it. Yeah, I would just hate to think if any of our boys/girls downrange will be hurt or worse due to this. |

I'm a Christian, and I think it's ill-considered at very best. It does absolutely nothing except to play into their stereotypes and preconceived notions. It gives us no advantage (tactical or strategical), nor does it win hearts and minds; indeed, all it does is further enrage them. My opinion is based on pragmatism, not fear. Speaking strictly to the Christendom / Islam dynamic, this kind of action does nothing to bring people to Christ. The Gospel is offensive enough all on its own.

Best post on the whole damn issue. On the other hand its JUST A BOOK. The fuckers can't hate us anymore can they? |

All I have to say on that matter is that any dope smoking, liberal idiot that is screaming about this issue, but works tooth and nail to preserve "the right" to burn an American Flag is nothing more than a worthless hypocrite.

I consider it "sinking to their level," and therefore must appose it. They have the right, but it just seems in poor taste. If we can't be bigger than they are (i.e. the Mosque folks), then we are awfully small.
|

Quoted: I voted for all of the options because you let me. So far, you're the only one who has said "They don't have the right." I wonder how this poll would fair on DU? |

About the same level as the Mosque. They have the right, but.... Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. Nothing positive will come out of it. |

Quoted: If the Muslims burned bibles, the SHTF here... Not really. Espeically if they burned Bibles in Riyadh. Who cares? |

What about that do you not understand? |

I do not agree with burning books......................if it's their personal property they can do what they want with it.
Have a Bible burning next door if you want! |

It would be like them burning bibles or flags..... WAIT A MINUTE!!!!

If the Muslims burned bibles, the SHTF here... Go to Saudi and pick up a Bible.. Let me know how that works out for you... |

They have the right but are no more intelligent than the durka durkas that stomp American flags in the street.
Like it or not.these assholes are going to get all kinds of TV play across the Moslem world and the idiots over there will whip up a frenzy over it. It's a stupid gesture by stupid people,sorry. |

One group of dumbasses engaged in dumbassery that sets other dumbasses to dumbassery. Meanwhile, the Florida preacher dumbass claims no one is standing up to radical Islam. WTF does he think those troops in Afghanistan are doing?

Quoted: As stated previously, they'd be in heap big trouble for ahving a bible in the first place.Quoted: If the Muslims burned bibles, the SHTF here... Not really. Espeically if they burned Bibles in Riyadh. Who cares? "But, but, I was going to burn it." Chop. |

Quoted: I understand that; and when they try they will find that I am prepared.Quoted: I consider it "sinking to their level," and therefore must appose it.

These bastards want to kill you. What about that do you not understand? I have no problem with killing someone in defense of life, I do have a problem with killing someone in the name of your religion. Do you not see those as different things? It is the same with burning the Koran or the Bible. Personally I could careless if either is burned (I am areligious–– a true infidel––you do know that Christians are not true infidels, as they recognized the same god as in Islam). I just see no need to stoop to their level of petty theatrics. There are those that do not support the Islamofacists (what percentage, I do not know), and I respect their belief in their religion. |
