re: #33 Tigger2005

Yeah, but this was an accident. People are dead, people who had nothing to do with it, because of an unintentional incident. The mindset that leads to this just fills me with revulsion…makes my skin crawl. Like Santorum.

Do you think all these riots would have been avoided if a muslim soldier burned them with respect?

…Afghan religious scholar Anayatullah Baligh said it can be appropriate to burn a damaged Quran to dispose of it, but that it should be done by a Muslim who is performing the act respectfully.

“I can’t tell you whether Americans intentionally burned the copies of the holy Quran to make Muslims angry or if they did it mistakenly,” he said, but said their “carelessness” was “a crime they have committed against the holiest book of two billion Muslims around the world.”
