*Sigh*... Ever seen people work within the democratic system in order to defeat it? Two issues:Is this the democracy?
This is not correct; because the transgression on the Quran is not allowed as part of freedom. This is not the freedom.
If such pastor does not believe in the Quran (and he will receive his punishment from his Lord), then no one may force him to believe, but to go and shout before other people and burn the Quran: this is unacceptable.
First, after his failed beer-hall putsch, Hitler vowed that he would from thence forth work within the democratic system of the Wiemar Republic, but he made no secret about how if he got power by that democratic system's laws, he would, upon achieving power, radically change it, which he did (when he had only 37% of the popular vote, but the other parties were fragmented, so he got the biggest slice of a pie cut too many ways... sort of like how Harper is using his position of only 36% of people on his side resulting in dismantlement of Canada's water-protection acts... why would anybody not on the side of Lucifer allow for protection of environmentally clean water to be dismantled?)...
... And so also Christians hear you guys say that it should be your democratic right to demolish democracy.
The second issue is that when real Christians say it is wrong to make a spectacle of burning other peoples' holy book, it is because they are doing it out of empathy, whereas you keep saying the book should not be burned or else you're going to start a war.
We say it should not be burned out of empathy because we know it would feel. You say we shouldn not burn it because we are supposed to be afraid of you.
Are you nuts? Do you have any idea what happens if you really piss us off? We're not going to talk about it, because you don't know how pissed off a people has to be to start nuking the planet pole-to-pole.
We say the Quran should not be burned because we know how it would feel to watch holy scriptures burned. You say it should not be burned or else you're going to get violent.
Are you nuts? Yes I understand the mission Mohammed was faced converting Arabs; they're the kind of people who could not be led to God unless scared and threaten with detailed descriptions of hell, but that was a long time ago before Islam spread to Persia and the Turks.
Do you see how the stupidest thing you can do is try to scare us when we're the ones feeling empathy for what it would feel like to watch holy scripture burn?
What percentage of western civilization people do the Muslim radicals have an issue with?Islam consist of 1.2 billion people. Do you honestly believe this many people are all intolerant and violent? You are succumbing to demonizing propaganda which portrays the actions of a tiny minority as representative of the majority. That perception is about as accurate as believing that Christian extremists who kill doctors that perform abortions and Christian priests who abuse children represent the true nature of Christianity.
BTW, peace is a basic concept in Islamic thought.

Last time I checked, it was the 5% who own half of everything - called the Plutocrats - who cheerfully exploit the middle-east for oil leaving nothing for the people born upon that wealth except for a messed up standard of values.
*We* know the Plutocrats are incarnations of Lucifer sperm - it's a cross we bear for having a civilization governed by law - but *they* think those bad-a-s bear-cats represent us all.
Hmm... is it possible that the 5% Plutocrats in the west equals the 5% radical Muslims in the east?
My head is spinning. Okay, it's almost certainly too extreme to be realized, which means the option is to write it up as some cheap dime-store pulp sci-fi, but... imagine the plot-twists of a situation where the ordinary people of the west make peace with Islam by having it agreed that Muslim radicals only attack Plutocrats, resulting in newly opened market segments for good-hearted people to move in and set up shop, and the good-hearted of the west want to trade their world's best lamb for some of your Persian carpets.
