I think what really appalls me the most is that I have heard many Christians denounce Jones for burning a Koran, but have yet to hear a single Muslim denounce the extremists. I'm not saying that there are not any Muslims that denounce their actions, but if there are, I have yet to hear it. <br /><br />Not to compare a flag to a holy text, save perhaps in the context of idolatry, but we allow protesters to burn the American flag and call it free speech, and yet criticize one of our own for burning a Koran. <br /><br />Please don't get me wrong. As a misanthropist, I will be the first to say that I find many books to be more valuable than human lives. But when it comes to mass publications such as the Koran, Holy Bible, or yes, even Origin of Species, the books just aren't worth it.Brutal Antipathynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509760839117869165.post-53811244455895978362011-04-06T09:46:10.982-07:002011-04-06T09:46:10.982-07:00For the record (Sorry CD?

Whatever their reasons, justified or no (no), they choose to go out and kill people who had absolutely nothing to do with the event than enraged them. I also agree with my brother in that people of all religious sects tend to turn their holiest of holy books into graven idols instead of just books that speak of their faith. Get over yourselves. Of course I also feel that the gentleman down in Florida is a racist/mentally challenged man who's only interest is to promote himself. So whereas I defend his right to do what he did, I still think he was an idiot.HighlanderMackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18109799628778572769noreply@blogger.com
