Christian fanatic, Pastor Terry Jones
held a “trial” of Qur’an
found it “guilty”
and sentenced it to death
then another fanatic, Pastor Wayne Sapp
burned a copy of Quran
it was their way of displaying their hatred of Muslims
and to also provoke the vulnerable Muslims
but they were utilizing their right to freedom of speech
granted under the US Constitution
so they didn’t do anything illegal
the coalition commander in Afghanistan
U.S. Gen. David Petraeus
has condemned the Qur’an burning as
“hateful, extremely disrespectful and enormously intolerant.”
and this from the head of the occupying force in Afghanistan!
is Allah not a perfect creator
that He created such vulnerable people
or is it the human propensity for violence
which is looking for any excuse?
but, like in most cases, it’s politics
in a Khomeini Satanic Verses style
President Hamid Karzai condemned the Qur’an burning
four days after the incident
and also demanded that the US and the UN
bring Jones to justice
as if Karzai himself is a morally upright person
maybe the Taliban are involved too
about 20 people have died
4 Nepalese, 3 Europeans, and the rest were Afghans
just because a paper book was turned to ashes
Muslims will have to learn to protest
without killing anyone
they could have held a mock trial of Bible
and could have asked Jones and Sapp to defend:
“… The LORD struck down all the firstborn in Egypt,
from the firstborn of Pharaoh …
to the firstborn of the prisoner…
and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.”
Bible (Exodus* 12:29)
“… Shechem … raped … Dinah daughter of Jacob;
he loved the young woman and spoke tenderly to her.”
“… Hamor said to them,
‘My son Shechem has his heart set on your daughter.
Please give her to him as his wife.'”
“[Jacob’s sons demanded:] that you become like us
by circumcising all your males.”
“All the men who went out of the city gate
agreed with Hamor and his son Shechem,
and every male in the city was circumcised.
“Three days later, while all of them were still in pain,
two of Jacob’s sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers,
took their swords and attacked the unsuspecting city,
killing every male.”
Bible (Genesis 34:2-3, 8, 15, & 24-25.)
Bible has many such gems
burning Bible would be like:
“eye for eye” justice
Bible (Deuteronomy 19)
or a much better solution:
ask the US government for Qur’an money
that is, blood money
don’t worry about the US taxpayers
they’re very gullible
