Qur'an burning would increase risk of terror attacks – Interpol

Protest in Afghanistan has killed several people over this issue, now my question is how is that protest effective if your murdering another person in the name of your religion? Which God would want it's children murdering one another over who's religion is right or wrong? Simple, God did not place religion on this Planet. Low IQ Humans dominate this world, when they are read the same story over and over all their childhood and adult life they have no better understanding of the world outside of their BOX. It is this type of Religious Schooling that has divided the world. Humanity will only achieve GREATNESS when the world is free of Religion. Until that Miracle Day, the world will be dominated by Religious Zombies who infect their disease on others for their own agenda and not GODS. Gods Wisdom and Power will never be describable by a book or two, their is no Hell or Heaven. It's is about you and the impact you leave on yourself!

Once again readers you have had the privilege to read my Words of Wisdom, the knowledge I share with you is only good if you understand it and take action.

SAY NO TO RELIGION

Doc, that depends on one's background in faith. Many religions around the world - Christianity included - attribute special meaning to the written word e.g. the Bible. It is extremely offensive to desecrate one's faith by destroying its elements that are used to communicate with 'God'. In the Christian Orthodox faith, for example, there is no bigger sacrilege than destroying, burning or defacing icons depicting God, Jesus, Mother Mary or other saints; the Evangelion (New Testament) is of secondary "importance". I would not be offended if someone burned the Bible attempting to infuriate me but I am sure a lot of Christians would be devastated or get mad.

Trust me, I do understand what you are saying because of what the book "represents". The "word of God" would live on without a book.

The real danger is how fast the news spread and how infuriated many parts of the world became just by the mere mention of the act of burning the Quran. Three or more days prior to the planned burning there were protests and riots across the globe. That is the good and bad of the internet and the digital age. A story can get out (be it true or false) and race across the globe like a virus. An example I heard this morning on CNN was a tweet that got out on how a certain House Member voted. Suddenly there was hate tweets and rampage against that house member. Turns out, it was all fake and the House member did not actually exist. No one even bothered to check if the person was real or not.

The irony here is how many people in the US view ALL muslims as terrorists and extremists- now just think of how the entire US christian population is viewed by the muslims. It did not matter that this was a preacher (who, by the way, was essentially run out of his own church in Germany) who announced what he planned to do. But suddenly, we had one preacher with less than 30 parishioners become the face of the entire christian population of the US. This set back years of attempting to bridge the divide among US and Islamic nations and Christians vs. Muslims.

We live in the information era, thanks to the Internet the news - real or not - circulate around the globe in a matter of minutes; hours at the most. In the case of the burning of the Quran, the news was real and was recorded on video. Freedom of expression comes with responsibility, otherwise it becomes a demonstration of stupidity.

[Gee]

I would not be offended if someone burned the Bible attempting to infuriate me but I am sure a lot of Christians would be devastated or get mad.

you would change your opinion if the bible is the only book you have , not the only book, but the only amusement, the only friend, the only thing calming your stress and sufferings

muslims live in countries where corruption and violence rules, most people are poor, some people have only islamic schools to get education, they can get self actualization only by joining radical groups or blow themselves to kill others , life is not easy for them

you most probably live much better life, food, health, education, transportation.....etc , so why you care about bible or God , your life is already fantastic
