Tomorrow, September 11th 2010 has been labeled by some as “International Burn a Koran Day” (Facebook Page Link)

People have been burning things in protest for years…..bras, flags, bibles, likenesses etc. Burning a book is non-violent. Americans are now scared to protest a something that they don’t agree with and view as oppressive and violent.

If someone is going to burn a Koran in protest of large violent and oppressive factions of Islam………….isn’t telling them not to burn a book because people will get killed kind of illogical? Basically you’re saying “don’t protest violence, or it might get violent”.
Example:
Koran Burner: “I’m burning this Koran in protest of the violent and oppressive Islamic groups, governments, and attitudes the Koran has been used to support. ”
Obama: “Don’t don that, this might cause a large group Muslims to get violent and kill people.”
Koran Burner: Um………What?

Meanwhile Christian Churches are being burned in Iraq for being “Christian Churches“. Continue Reading…
