Call it religious fervor – Gun on hip, let’s burn Qurans

The church of the NRA.

What knid of sick church is this?

YJ.I guess you understand who are American Taliban. Taliban destroyed thousands of year old Buddha statues in Bamyan,Afghanistan and now American Taliban are going to burn Quran.How far we have travelled back from amiability to vandalism?Does fanaticism reinforce faith?If it does,let Taliban of both denomination destroy statues of a religious figure,burn holy book of professors of Islam.

-Australia: Muslim students urinate, spit on then burn bible. -Christians in Gaza fear for their lives as Muslims burn bibles and destroy crosses. -Pakistan: Muslims desecrate church and burn bibles.  This is just a couple of the very many events by Muslims attacking Christianity. There does not seem to be the same cry and hue that these attacks against Christianity will obstruct U.S. relations with the Muslim world. Personally, I think the Muslim world is experiencing their own form of  "blow-back" after years of desecrating Churches, cemeteries, bible burnings and flag burnings. We can't expect dumb, ignorant  Americans to behave any better than the enlightened followers of the religion of peace. Can we?

I weep for all the peace loving muslims who came to the new world to seek their freedom as did the pilgrims before them, and now the ancestors of those heretics and rebels are condemning them and terrorizing them because of what some evil radicals elsewhere are doing.  Simply because they share a root religion.  Would you hunt a baptist for what a catholic priest has done?  Would you hate on a united church worshipper for a baptist's ways?  They're all Christians.  To hate on the muslims next door for what those mad men in the Taliban have done is no different.  A person is innocent till proven guilty.  It is not right to assume they are connected to the criminals simply because of a shared ancestry or root faith.  All Christians share the bible but many versions of it exist.  All Muslims share the Quaran but many versions exist.

America needs to get tougher with it's bigots, hate speech should be illegal if it is not, and people like this should be punished for inciting hatred of a religious, cultural, or ethnic group.

@ thirty-aught-six(not verified) Convincing arguments.New maxim:two or many wrongs make one right.

It's just a book, which is nothing but paper.  Why is it that Britain's government FUNDED an "art exibit" where people scribbled obscenities in the Bible, yet there is outrage over some Pastor of a small church burning a Koran?  There are double standards.  I think Islam already rules the world, just as they've wanted.

I'd sure as hell have a gun on my hip if I were going to burn the bloody things in case some  Islamist religious fanatic attempted to slice my throat. Look it . . .it's a dumb thing to do. That's a given. But it's also a given that the local Gainesville government stepped in and prohibited the free exercise of religion and the rights granted to American citizens under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. And at the same time they endorsed a religion--the Muslim religion. There is nothing in the Gainesville fire ordinance that expressly prohibits the burning of books. And those are the facts. But in order to prohibit the burning, the fire marshal said that books are the equivalent of cardboard and newspapers. In any event, any citizen of Gainesville can burn virtually anything that he wants as long as it's approved by the fire marshal. People get permits to burn crap in Gainesville all the time. Especially if they, as is the case of the church,  have 20 acres to burn it on. Some Americans had better wake up and realize that there is a major push on the part of the Obama Administration and others to grant Muslims extra constitutional rights and protections.
