NPR: Yesterday, during Dove World Outreach Center's Sunday service, without any publicity and under the supervision of Jones, Pastor Wayne Sapp soaked a Quran in kerosene for an hour, held an event he said was a "trial" for the Muslim holy book, and after the book was found guilty, Sapp set the Quran on fire using a barbecue lighter >>>

BIG FU**** WASTE OF TIME.....
by mrramin on Wed Mar 23, 2011 06:15 AM PDTI am sorry to see so many neurons fired up for burning a book. I wished the problems in the world we live in would be solved by burning a book
But have to come and collect the reward ;-)
by David ET on Wed Mar 23, 2011 04:14 AM PDTPakistan’s Jamaat-ud-Dawah, a banned Islamic organization and suspected
terrorist group, announced a reward of 10 crore rupees (about $2.2
million) for anyone who kills the preacher.
President Asif Ali Zardari condemned the desecration of the Quran during
his address to a joint sitting of parliament. The country’s Foreign
Office in Islamabad called it a “despicable act.”
The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, Pakistan, issued a statement
condemning the burning, and rejected religious intolerance in any form.
"The
deliberate destruction of any holy book is an abhorrent act,"
Ambassador Cameron Munter said. "The U.S. commitment to freedom of
religion and freedom of expression goes back to the founding of our
nation and is enshrined in the Constitution."
"This is an isolated act done by a small group of people that is contrary to American traditions," the embassy said.
Like I said what goes around comes around... who is at fault:: ?

The office of Contraband Search and Seizure along with the revolutionary
guards, in a routine border inspection of a bus, discovered 2 boxes,
each containing 300 New Testaments, and after removing those from the
bus burned them....
on Tuesday February 7, 2011, in coordinated operation between the Office
of Contraband Search and Seizure and the Revolutionary Guards of the
city of Salmas, in the Northwest province of Western Azerbaijan,
discovered more than 300 New Testaments along with other contrabands
such as alcoholic spirits, which were previously discovered and seized
and in a special public viewing in the town of Derishk, burned all of
the New Testaments and the seized alcohol
on October 28, 2010, a similar search
and seizure of about 300 New Testaments had taken by the security and
border inspectors in a bus headed for Tehran at the border crossing of
Salmas, 90 km from the capital of the western province of Western
Azerbaijan.
At the time of this seizure, 2 boxed
containing more than 300 New Testaments were placed in the bus, but
there were no passengers to claim ownership of the confiscated boxes.
The security forces did however conduct a local search of a home of a
New Christian man who resided on the town of Salmas
a repetition of a similar action taken by the security forces of the Islamic Republic,
on June 8, 2010, in one of the western towns of Sardasht, which was
reported on the media outlets loyal and in service of the Islamic
Republic of Iran

Pastor Sapp, Ahmahednijad, Goebbels: Brothers in sick mind
by radius-of-the-persian-cat on Wed Mar 23, 2011 03:17 AM PDTFirst when I read this subject, I was almost prompted to grab a Bible from our local book-store and burn it in revenge (to ensure a global equiballance of violence). But should I make myself equal to the stupidity of christian fundamentalists like this pastor Sapp, who is a brother in mind with Mahmoud Ahmadenijad or Joseph Goebbels ?
Personally I"d like to kick him in the ass, same as I"d like to do with pope Benedikt and all other religious cheaters as well. But my refusal of all dogmatic religions will never go as far to burn books. For me the bible like the Quoran or the Epic of Gilgamesh or the Talmud are pieces of literature, like fairy-tales. They all contain some important messages, but also a lot of hypocracy and dogmatism.
But nothing justifies burning books, I think. It only shows the intollerance of one religion against another intollerant religion. There should be laws forbidding religious as well as political stupidity in any country.

When Are YOU People are going to wake up?!!!
by Freemasons Exposed on Tue Mar 22, 2011 10:13 PM PDTThe issue here is not Islam or religion for that matter, the issue is whos the winner out of this nonesesnical cherade. Let me startoff right of the bat and make it clear that as far as im concerned All three major religions of the world have been manupilated by the devil worshiping sectret societies that controll the media, governments, multinational institutions including but not limited to the Reseve Bank of America, Reserve Bank ofAustralia, Bank of England and other more discrete organisations such as Carlyl group, CFR, Lowly institute and many others. their holy land is Israel and their financial centres in London and NewYork.
They Are laughing at us and they create puppets like this moron who wouldnt b able to tell his mouth from his ass hole to put us through this mascrade mean while they have created three wars, nearly bankrobed the world, have total control over what we eat, where we can live, and what we understand to be normal.
For Fuck sake ive had a gut full of their theatrical movie stars such as Ahmadinejad, Khamenei and Obama. All these fools would be nothing with out their financial backers, just google the biggest donors to Obamas Campaign were?, no prizes for guessing, the financial sector. i mean let get real if they truely wanted to get rid of the IRI wouldnt they just stop Iran from selling oil, the only true income for these monsters in Tehran. mean while Israel has a convient boogy man to use as excuse to bomb more Palestinians and grab the lands whilst we are fixated to some dick head burning a book!!!
KNOW THE TRUTH AND IT SHALL SET YOU FREE!!!
emotions aside
by David ET on Tue Mar 22, 2011 09:09 PM PDTquran has been guilty as charged for thirteen hundred ninety years.
if burning as a form of punishment is so bad we should also prosecute god as the grand toturer of all.
what comes around goes around. wasnt god the one who suggested the idea ?
referring to god of abrahamic religions...
Do not place so much importance on this.
by pedro on Tue Mar 22, 2011 08:42 PM PDTWho gives a hoo, let them burn as many as they want why the hell we care. I'm noy a book police, are you? Is it going to piss off arabs? then let it be, we are not arab. Dont start ranting and raving about WWIII, ( AAB AZ AAB TAKON NEMIKHOREH ). The rich arabs are too worried about their fancy cars not catching on fire, and the pakistanies are too poor and hugry to start marching toward this dudes church. Carry on with your life.
Stop Execution and torture of Iranians in Islamic regime Prisons
Dear Mr Rahmanian
by Souri on Tue Mar 22, 2011 08:27 PM PDTI do understand where you (and other commentators) come from, but I think we must think about the bigger picture. This is not about Iran and its politics. This is about a huge number of of the world's population. The conflict is already started some years ago, and we must be very vigilent not to add the fuel to the fire. We should not get stuck in our own problems so much that we can't see the forest for the leaf

by pedro on Tue Mar 22, 2011 07:57 PM PDTIt appears to me that this guy is either a british agent or agent of islamic regime in Iran paid handsomely to do this. War with Iraq ended too soon to the dismay of Iranian regime leaving a vacuum for people to ask for freedom and democracy. This is another plot to oppress people and send them fighting an imaginary enemy for another 8 years. I used to laugh at my father when he said: "Inha hamash zire sare engelisias" Some how it doesn't sound funny any more. I wished I understood his wisdom better.
Stop Execution and torture of Iranians in Islamic regime Prisons
Dear Souri,
by G. Rahmanian on Tue Mar 22, 2011 08:03 PM PDTSome of these comments are directed towards the IR mercenaries on this site and not the Islamic world, as a whole! These comments are aimed at the hypocrisy of individuals who, in a third-worldish, self-pitying manner codemn this guy's act, but readily condone similar acts when perpetrated by their masters.
The man is an imbecile!
by Souri on Tue Mar 22, 2011 07:02 PM PDTI agree completely with Rea.
This is not about the IRI or the Iranians. This is a deliberate provocation against Islam and Islamists on an international scale. It is crazy, it is foolish and rude!
This is only a call to WWIII !
As if we only needed this one!

The $64000 question is what are going to use? If you can resolve this moral dilemma for yourself then you will be comfortable with the burning of it!

Rea
by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Tue Mar 22, 2011 06:17 PM PDTI agree as my previous writings indicate. I am against burning any book. No matter what is in it. That applies to Quoran; Satanic Verse; Mein Kampf; Bible; Huck Finn; Uncle Tom's Cabin or any other book.
People must be the judge. However thanks print press burning books is pointless. In the old days burning books make them unavailable. Now all it means is they print another one. In fact it may actually make the book more popular. Imagine I publish a book. People hate it; they buy copies and burn them. I will gladly print more. They pay me for it; I make my profit.
The real goal here is to insult Muslims. Otherwise I do not think Quoran is going to be destroyed.

by Veiled Prophet of Khorasan on Tue Mar 22, 2011 06:10 PM PDTWe all know that severe crticism of Israel gets you in trouble. The constitution only says no law will be made against it. However it does not protect us against individual action.
People may lose jobs; friends; contracts; and more. That is legal in general unless specifically prohibited. I am not making a value judgement just telling the facts. It goes in many ways.
I have personally called for the firing of anti Iranian Stanford Prof. I would also fire a person who makes anti gay remarks. I would never prosecute them; just want to point the difference.
Dear Rea, it was not only my experience
