Burning the Holy Quran and Killing for Allah

[Kofi]

Last year I read an article on CNN and In that Article one American pastor (Pastor Terry Jones) threatened to burn the holy Quran. It was all over the news and people kept talking about it for long why because the idea of burning a holy book is something most people (including Atheists) don't support. Not that the holy book is holy to an Atheist but the idea of burning a holy book can spark so many problems not just for the burner but so many problems for all.
Pastor Terry Jones wanted to burn a copy of the holy Quran on September 11, 2010 to make a statement but several people including President Barack Obama spoke against it until the Pastor changed his mind. He changed his mind on burning the Quran last year but according to sources, Pastor Terry Jones did not change his idea about burning the holy Quran and that he went ahead somewhere last month and did burn the holy book and to make matter worse, they posted it on their church website which has sparked so much anger in the Islamic world.

Yesterday in the news some Afghanistan Quran-burning protesters stormed one UN peacekeeping center in the northern town of Mazar-e Sharif and killed 12 people including 7 UN workers and destroyed several properties all in the name of Allah. Several world leaders spoke against this barbaric action yesterday but the sad part is that, these religious extremists did not stop there. I just saw on CNN that the violence has spread to Kandahar (another Afghan city) with at least 9 people reported dead and several others injured all in the name of Allah.

Is it OK to burn a holy book? Was it OK for Pastor Terry Jones to burn the holy Quran? Is it OK for these Islamic extremists to go about killing innocent people who did nothing wrong? If Allah is a peaceful God as Islam preaches then does it make sense at all to go about killing innocent people for Allah? If Islam is a peaceful religion as the Quran preaches then does it make sense at all to go about killing innocent people for no fault of theirs?

How shall I answer that question? Killing people for Allah? At least these innocent people are dead and suffer no more. Yes, that is not good.

Is this as bad or even worse? Holy pedophile men of the Catholic and other christian churches are ruining the lives of children forever causing unmerciful pain and torment for their full lifetime. Their only chance for relief is suicide which many have resorted to.

What I fail to understand is why make one religion seem worse than the other? Lets face it, God never established a religion. They are all man made. If you think you are going to find God in any religion you are looking for him in hell.

So last year you read an article on CNN? I would strongly suggest you start reading some good history books and get some background on the real world and the way it functions. See who done the most killings in the name of their god and lets talk about that.

And that is what I think for what it's worth.

"Holy pedophile men of the Catholic and other christian churches are ruining the lives of children forever causing unmerciful pain and torment for their full lifetime"
You are right that is worse. In fact that is worse than suicide bombing. However, the fact that holy pedophile men are worse than suicide bombers does not make suicide bombers righteous men.

I am not saying that Christianity is righteous. There are even worse people in Christianity than in Islam. I may be wrong but I read it somewhere that even Adolf Hitler was a Christian. Here is what Hitler said in a speech on 12 April, 1922: "For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people." From this, it is very clear Adolf Hitler was or at least considered himself a Christian yet we all know what he did. Adolf Hitler killed more people than Osama Bin Laden but that doesn't make Osama a righteous man.

Both Christianity and Islam are full of "lunatics" and deceivers who cover their faces with the banner of God/Allah while being snakes under grass. However, the fact that all religious groups are full of lunatics does not mean we should allow those Islamic "lunatics" to go about killing innocent people for Allah.

I don't know why you do not get my point.

You made this statement: "the fact that holy pedophile men are worse than suicide bombers does not make suicide bombers righteous men". I never said anything or implied anything about one making the other RIGHTEOUS MEN. I do not like you putting words in my mouth. That is standard procedure of politicians and lawyers who like to twist the thoughts of others to their advantage. You are very good at that.

Another statement you made: "However, the fact that all religious groups are full of lunatics does not mean we should allow those Islamic "lunatics" to go about killing innocent people for Allah". If you want to be fair instead of stirring up hatred for Islam and causing more conflict you should also include christian lunatics. Now you are attacking a type and not a people. I think a dialog about types of people in religion, politics, lawyers and such would be inexhaustible giving an understanding to many of the minds of the wicked. Without understanding come great swelling words of nothingness.

What I am saying about the tenure of this post is that the focus is on one religious group. When you do this sort of thing the implication is that the other religions are not so bad. It is the implication or suggestion that people remember by doing this. This makes the ones attacked hostile to the other causing more unrest and hatred to build up between religions. I do not care about the religions but the innocent being hurt in the process. Stir up one group and not the other and you will get more innocent people and children hurt in the turmoil.

That is very true. I'm also sorry for putting words in your mouth. It is true I over-twist words sometimes.
