Devout Muslims are at about the same stage of development and awareness regarding the primacy of their religion as devout Christians were about 600 or more years ago.Considering their religion was founded 600 years after Christianity, it's not surprising. (BTW, this is not meant as an excuse.) |

I went back two days and didn't see oneKinda hard to see one from two days ago when the story's dated 2/21 and you post it on 2/21, yes . . . ? I can never understand what makes some Muslims think that the whole world should honor their holy book while at the same time, they have less than zero regard for the religious sensitivities of non-Muslims. If you want respect, you have to give respect Well, if you can "never understand" it, then maybe you should read what's in the Koran that the Mullahs and other "scholars" quote over and over (context highly debatable) that justifies such an attitude for them. |

Why is the US still there? after OBL was killed, the mission should've been over and let that place turn back to its '6th century state'. There's no hope for people like that going apeshit nuts over a fucking 'holy book'. Other than the really backwards people in the south that might get as crazy if the bible was burned, no civilized people should ever react violently over 'a book'. |

Maybe it's not very extreme as the radical muslims, but there are radicals: KKK, neo nazis, etc. Maybe not just the south, but that's where they tend to be. |

I think that you can very loosely compare their attitudes to the Christian attitudes of the 11th, 12th and 13th Centuries. The Crusades were a very brutal time and the soldiers had the blessings of the Pope. Of course, that was 1,000 years ago and we would have hoped the world has progressed beyond that but the radical Muslim still lives in the 14th Century, mentality-wise. Hopefully they too will evolve in time. |

I'm just covering my basis about radicals of the religion. I did also say the radical muslims are probably the worst because of news like this. Burn a Koran and the world is set on fire literally. |

Better that than spending billions keeping the 'infestation' at bay. All the US is doing is acting as the dam holding back the taliban. Eventually the US will have to cut its financial losses and just give up. I get it that it's not always great to admit defeat, but that area is basically a wasteland with opium as its main export. Nothing to gain by staying there. At least Iraq has oil, but the US already cleared out of there. |

That would take them abandoning certain passages of the Koran and many Hadiths. Since most of them believe that they were revealed by Allah, that won't happen too soon. |

No it doesn't, but somehow radical Muslims always have to try to be compared to them....don't know why, as as annoying as Southern religious nuts are, they aren't nearly as nuts as radical islam. |

The news outlet could have posted the story a day or two after it actually happened and one of the sharpies on this site could have posted it from another source right after it happened. Just didn't want to run afoul of the bandwidth police around here. |

The difference now is that Christianity is a lot more well-organized today than Islam was in the Middle Ages, when the Christians were burning people at the stake for heresy.This isn't going to end well, especially for Jews. We always get caught in the crossfire. When the First Crusade was set up to liberate Jerusalem from the Muslims, the Crusaders killed every Jew they saw on the way up. |

Yes, the same majority that are atheists ad think religion should be banned want an apology for burning already desecrated by muslims korans.You people are so coherent. No wonder you are converting to Islam in mass numbers. |
