Burning a Koran: Right or Wrong?

[Bailey Guns]

"Every day on television we are barraged by stories of a 'Muslim extremist, militant, terrorist, or insurgent. But the stories that are missing are the countless stories of Muslim tolerance, progress, diversity, service and excellence that Bridges TV hopes to tell."

...said Muzzammil Hassan, a few years before beheading his wife in NY because she filed for divorce after years of abuse.

book burning is is wrong and so is flag burning for that matter . Sure its a right but so is jumping off a cliff . Just because im not a Muslim and i dont agree with there religion does not mean id go on a book burning rampage . Just think about the last bunch of a**h*l*s who went around burning books and what the world did to them . Dont want that to happen to the U.S. do ya ??

It is a right, but it is still wrong.

To be fair, the guy didn't go on a "book burning rampage". He burned one book. And as far as I know, he's not advocating that anyone else do it.

As far as not wanting "that to happen to the U.S. do ya??"...I'm really not sure what you're referring to...Nazi Germany? The Soviet Union?

So what's worse, then? Allowing people to exercise their 1A rights or denying them their 1A rights?

So how would you, I'm assuming as a gun-owner and member of an AR-15 forum, reconcile an anti-gunner saying to us, "Owning an assault rifle is a right. But that doesn't make it right", if you feel that way about the first amendment?

It seems to me that we can have freedom of religion but not anti religion? I get this crap all the time like when people pray they want me to take my hat off. hell with you that's your religion not mine. Go proselytize your crap some where else, and I won't try to Un-do your beliefs. To say this guy cause they people to die, is no worse than saying "political rhetoric" got what's her face shot in AZ.

Burn them all. and not just korans.

there's more to the story than just a book burning and muslim hate.

it's all politics.

watch this video.

but I do think that middle eastern religion and culture is incompatible with American style freedom, and we need to have the balls to stand up for our way of life.

On the other hand, it shows the real nature of Islam. They beheaded some UN workers who are helping them locally and shot and stoned few guards and staff members over this. This is the same crowd of 'moderate muslims' who are pacified and are not with the Taliban.

Remember, the cartoon of Allah? the riots over the bible being brought by the US service member? the riots over female US members walking around in hotpants in SA? In Thailand, a business owner was torched for saying Merry Christmas to a customers who happened to be Muslims. It's my way or its your head!

The way I see it: if his biting the koran gets the middle east fired up and killing each other...then where is the bon-fire?

It is his right. Mexico burns and discriminates our flag. Are we in each town cutting their heads off? No.

One muslim leader asked for tolerence of their religion. We expect the same so he can shut his pie hole.

I honestly don't care if all the korans get burned up. All the radicals with them.

I don't think the video said anything that hasn't been said here in so many words. But it's good to see those sentiments get some mainstream press.

just because its allowed that does not necessarily mean that you should . Do i feel that they should be stopped for burning books , no not really , it is there right after all . But this is where community comes into play . The guys neighbor or brother ect. should or would say hey do you realize the consequences of your actions (this might of happened , i dont know , i was not there) . But i would never say you cant burn a book , hell if you want to run around shouting hate and intolerance , i wont sop you , ill think its wrong , but i wont stop you because its your right . just like its my right to think its wrong .
