On the other hand.
When I heard about the pastor's wont to do it, I thoughts:...uhm. Why? It is not worth it, by doing it you would be no better than people you oppose to. Don't do it.
However, when I have seen their reaction to it, I thought: WOW! It was worth at least to demonstrate to the whole world what a bunch of rabid creatures we are dealing with.
Burning Koran. Most certainly would be unpleasant and even offensive to religious Muslims. They are entitled/a have right to
dislike the person who has done it, his religion or even the country where it happened. Burn the Bible, flags...they do it anyway.
No. They prefer the
fear,
intimidation. Many people were against burning it not because they thought it is wrong or offensive but because they were scared sh1tl3ss of what Muslims will do to retaliate. Suicide bombings, terrorist acts, etc. Is it a civilised behaviour in 21th century? They almost achieved their goal. Scare the world. Scare people even on their own soil to say a wrong word and express publicly wrong idea, otherwise fatwa is on the go.
Is it the world we live in?
