I guess the point is the divine nature of the holy paper. That changes it all. However, if you burn a Noam Chomsky's book, it wouldn't be an incitement to political hate. Since religion is above everything, only religious books are made of divine paper. Right? It seems that a physical action fuse together with a moral action, but only in regard to religion.

In addition: I don't know which is the difference between this possible ritual burning and all the already-existing videos on YouTube showing the same action. Here you are a list.

Shocked? I'm not. As the famous movie says, "I've seen things some of you wouldn't believe": Bishops thrown out the window, satires of ridiculous cardinals, irreverent and obscene depictions of the Last Supper...



...caustic mockeries of the Catholic hierarchy... Here, in the native country of the movie director who had the balls (and the wit) to film a flock of sheep next to a church, unmasking thus a religion by using its own stupid and humiliating metaphor.



All those things will be lost like the freedom of expression. Good luck in the new Caliphate of Al-Bion.

obama even told this guy what would happen the war would escalate over this, muslim-terrorist groups are probably already using the fact that this guy said he wants to do it as a recruitment tool

i think this guy is doing this just so he can have his 15 minutes of fame

The point I'm making is you wouldn't be prepared to kill over such an insult.
Unfortunately, it's a fact that there are those who will.
And no amount of jibberish is going to change that fact.
Common sense should dictate here.

I've got nothing against free speech. Let's make that clear.
I could get myself into a whole lot of trouble if I pursue the points I have to make about freedom and what people and nations should and shouldn't be able to do in it's name.
Respect > Freedom.

Respect > Freedom.
I guess I could summarize my whole previous post by saying I feel the following:

Freedom > Respect.

I like your pithy way of expressing yourself, R-T!

Yeah, well don't go getting my comment out of context VEGAN.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

Okay.

But in honor of honesty, I will disclose that I am now imaging you wearing a bear-suit sewn from the U.S. flag and festooned with pages from a variety of holy books and, worse, a science book!

I have a bit of a disrespectful imp in me, I think.

Oh...and the answer is NO to the expression of your free will with respect to me. Can't you think of anything better to do to me with your bare hands to get out your frustrations?

May I express my free will by strangling you with my bare hands?
