    Just another red-neck heretic trying to get as much publicity as possible during a nationwide time of mourning in order to increase his following.

    His "church" only has 50 followers why even give him the time of day? It would have been better if the press just ignored his publicity stunt and let him have his bonfire with no-one around to witness it whereas now he has the attention of half the world on him.

    They shouldn't do it, but if they do it's no justification for any Muslim attacks any such attacks should also be condemned by everyone who is rightly condemning this stunt.

    A very good observation indeed. You see these people are so full of crap in those mulsims country and it's hard to keep a unity. But by making a common enemy or making them believe in a common enemy they can unite the people.
    Distract them from their poor wealth and their crappy religion runned governments. So it gives them a chance of portraying the USA as the enemy of islam whilst in fact we are talking about a handfull of idiots. They just use it and the american idiot who thought of this ingenious plan just helps them strengthening their idiotic behaviour.

    Protesters outside the US consulate in Edinburgh on Sky News. This will happen everywhere. Hopefully it won't end up with rioting somewhere.

    Hardly an accurate comparison. Most people wouldn't care if a bible was burned because arguably most western nations are not predominantly practicing Christians. I mean how many people who claim to be Christian have actually read the Bible front to back or attend church regularly anymore? Besides, even the most religious of Christians don't feel as if a Bible being burned would affect them in any way. There are some Christians who see it as a way of life, but for many it's either non-existent or an accessory to life when needed. On the other side, in many Muslim countries, Islam is more than just a religion but a way of life for many. Look no further than Sharia law, praying five times a day..etc. Islam is a strong cultural identity for them and explains much of the cultural norms with their societies. Couple that with a lot of the anti-muslim rhetoric and racism from the western world and you can see why they might feel threatened or outraged by this.

    Sure this may seem silly to most of us, but I think it's even dumber to provoke them by burning Korans in the first place

    i can understand his motives,and i guess hes free to do what he wants to do ."Democracy "the very thing that a lot of religious/fanatical/terrorists are trying to ruin.

    although its wrong and will serve no positive purpose to burn the koran,i guess its better than blowing yerself up and killing hundreds of innocent people in the name of islam.

    9/11 anniversary is on saturday the same day as this "stunt" ..i dont think he will go ahead with it but hes got his message accross already

    Good idea that one, let's go and anger the fanatics that will blow you up without even thinking twice by * all over the thing they're fanatical about.

    Kind of sums up the level of intelligence we're dealing with here.

    Thanks for the lecture, but it wasn't a comparison....It was an observation.

    It's great that you can speak on behallf of all Christians and have an insight to how strongly they feel or don't feel about the bible on a personal level. Thanks for sharing.

    I would care if a bible was burned, but it wouldn't give me the right to then go out and attack others because I was offended. Their isn't a hierarchy of religious book, one is not more important than another and all should be treated with respect.

    Burning the Koran is wrong not because of the reaction it will receive but simply because it's wrong. This shouldn't be condemned just because it might lead to Muslims attacking Americans/Westerns, it should be condemned because it's simply wrong, equally if any other holy text was burned that should meet with the exact same condemnation, why should one Holy text be given precedence over another.

    Who are you talking for when you say Christians wouldnt be affected if the Bible was burned, I claim to be part of the Christian faith and yes i go to mass on a regular basis ,maybe 4 -5 times a week ,i have never once taken my faith for granted but your assumption seems to be like as if you are talking on behalf of someone ,so where do you get this from ,Most Catholics i know do not take there faith as a pinch of salt so dont be making claims that you know otherwise ,maybe where ever you come from is like that but the World is a big place and yes there are a lot of Christians throughout the world who would be asking you the same question.

    I also would be extremely offended if I seen a Bible being burned.
    I have absolutely no respect in me whatsoever for the Koran,
    Would I burn it ? No.
    But to say that one Religion is not more important than the other is rubbish.
    They are not all right, if one is right then all others are wrong. And deserve no respect. Because if it was not given by * then where else must the writing's have came from ?
    I detest Islam, Buddhism , Hinduism etc. I respect there followers for being people but I have no respect for the religion they adhere to.

    ive saw a good few british and American stuff being burned by Islamic people,from flags to effigies of people..in fact they seem to do it on a regular basis,its become so common now that we don't notice it. but if a christian in another country ,this time America does it people are saying its gonna make matters worse..i don't get that TBA

    these fanatics can read and see what we see..they know the majority is against this and its only one church ,one redneck church of 50 people that is going to do this stunt,,rednecks in the deep south of America setting things on fire is not a new hobby of theirs "know what i mean"

    so my point is if this stunt goes ahead and recruits people to join terrorist groups my opinion is it doesnt take much to become a terrorist.lol


    its a load of kiech,,i will say as it stands redneck 1-0 the world

    the nutty pastor has had his moment of fame, next weeks koran is the next days fish and chip paper.

    personally i felt * angry when Glasgow airport was attacked, * * how dare they attack my city ,i was in benidorm at the time i was due to return home 2 days later with my family at the same time as the attack on Glasgow happened

    these * would not and did not care one jot who they hurt that day and by the grace of * ,my * no one was killed ..so if you think about all the attacks on us and America in the last 10 years burning a few korans is nothing in comparison

    None of us know which religion is the one true religion, only what we believe, because I am a practicing Catholic I obviously believe in the Catholic faith, however, I would treat all other religions with the same resepect I would expect to be shown to my own. To not respect others would not be very Christian of me, we have no right to say my religion is better than your's, come the end of time * will let us see the truth until then respect costs absolutely nothing.

    I have no love for the Koran, I've read some of the passages and thought a lot of what I read was hate filled, I know only too well that the bible has it's fair share of disturbing passages, however in also reading one of the main interpretations of the Koran that too was filled with hate and I gave up. However, just because I don't agree with it doesn't mean that I wouldn't treat it with respect as to many people it is holy text.

    The Koran shouldn't be burned, no holy book should be, but if someone does decide to burn a holy book it should not lead to riots, death threats or attacks which imo are a lot worse than burning a copy of a book.
