It's just bibles. It's not like it's a Qur'an. So nobody will care, bat an eye, nor go to war over it, nor strap on bombs and blow themselves up with a bunch of innocent people. Who cares about a bunch of Christian Infidels any ways. Don't you see your losing your personal war you got going with Islam.

If I had a decent camera, I'd go get a bible, qur'an, and the jewish book...torah? and burn all 3 at once just to prove I'm not racist..or whatever.

Yeah, bibles get burned. And as much as I was annoyed by the jackass in Florida, I was also annoyed at the reason he stopped his publicity stunt, which was out of fear of backlash on U.S. soldiers.

I mean seriously, be offended that hes burning your holy book: I will stand with you.

Protest that he is burning your holy book: I'll stand with you.

Threaten to kill someone who had nothing to do with this as retaliation? I'll start to wonder if the guy in florida had the right idea all along....

No one doubts that Islamic fundamentalists have a higher degree of crazy then modern Christian fundamentalists. That speaks well for Christianity in its current form.

Well, most Christians anyway. As a whole that religion has matured very well from the inquisition days.
