re: #5 beartiger
He was at least being consistent with his faith. In unrelated reading yesterday, I was somewhat surprised to learn that the book of Acts in the Bible condones the burning of books as a bellwether of spreading the word of the lord (Acts 19:19-20). This is one of the many reasons I’m not a Christian, I guess, since I consider the very thought of burning a book, even one I disagree with as much as the Koran, repugnant.
How about flags?
