    Default Why Is It OK To Burn Bibles, Yet Not The Koran?

    I'm not Religious by any stretch of the imagination, but why is it OK for the Gov to burn Bibles, but no OK for private citizens?
    Do I smell a bit of hypocrisy?

    Attorney General Eric Holder called it idiotic. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said it was disgraceful. Obama adviser David Axelrod went with un-American.

    Obama himself held out hope the pastor would rethink his plans. "I hope he listens to those better angels and understands that this is a destructive act that he's engaging in."

    Then there's this...
    Oh, I understand the spin, but a Religious icon, is still a Religious icon.

    Cus people are idiots. Who cares what the symbol is/stands for. Let them burn.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    Somehow, someway, over the last 9 years it has become more and more "incorrect" to insult Muslims in any manner. I wouldn't mind it so much if they did the same for all religions, or all "symbols", but that's not the case.

    As I said in another thread, many are proclaiming it's wrong to insult Muslims in any manner, but a lot of these people have no problem insulting other religions, or the USA as a nation.

    Maybe it's time for Christians to start taking hostages and cutting off people's heads every time there is a hint of insult towards their religion...
