    Qur'an for Muslims is not just paper and ink, it has a much bigger value than all the paper and ink in the world, and of course, more than the whole world and everything in it, and the place it has in them, is a place where no paper or any material can fit, and where no fire can reach, even if it was the fire of hate somebody expresses by burning the paper and ink on which Qur'an is written,

    and those who want to burn Qur'an, know already about this value that the Qur'an has in Muslims, so they try their best to insult it, by burning, or by using it as toilet paper, and those who invent new hateful methods are considered geniuses for some others like them, and so on ..

    if you stop and think why would somebody wants to burn the paper and ink on which Qur'an is written? will it be hard to know the answer?

    the last prophet pbuh said: ‘The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. "

    so what is the intention in this deed as they see, and the reward they expected in burning the Qur'an, or in promoting a video in which somebody burns the Qur'an?

    to make Muslims less Muslims? and follow something else maybe? this leads us to another question, of why they want Muslims to be less Muslims, or maybe atheists, or Christians, or something else .. and do they expect they can do so by burning the Qur'an and not by discussing or debating?

    you will find that this is not the reason, maybe it is to express their freedom of speech in saying that Qur'an is not truthful in a way that will generate listeners, since nobody listen to them in normal conditions,

    this will mean that other ways, if they tried any, did not work to convince those who they want to listen,

    so this is not also the reason behind it, it is clear, that the reason, is hate, and the intention is to provoke Muslims anger, so, I call all Muslims not to give them that reward they seek which is spreading their hate, and to let their hate burn them.

    Is in it ironic that you try to express yourself this way, when your religion prevent others to want to express themselves in such away, but each time they do your religion cries foul and want to harm those that may have express in such away that your religion don't agree upon.

    You want your way, but you cannot because you're weak and the force that you bring lands to nowhere.

    When does the life of a Quran begin? When it's pages are still the wood in a tree? After the paper has been made but before printing? After printing but before binding? After binding, but before distribution?

    If someone burns down a book factory that makes Qu'rans, should he be put to death? What about the person who shreds a halfway printed Quran. How about a person who burns a tree that was slated to be used as paper for a quran? Should a person who spills the ink intended for a quran be put to death? If every quran was burnt, would radical muslims seek to kill unbelievers any less?

    Burn them, shred them, use them for toilet paper, advertise them, sell them, or read them, the uneducated morons who use Muslim ideology as an excuse to kill people will still do what they do. Personally, I'm WAAAAAAY over worrying about what offends these people. If Muslims have thin skin, grow thicker skin. That goes the same for people who are offended by a Christmas tree or the Village People. When your offended sensibilities lead you to kill innocent people by bombing a train station, trade center, or abortion clinic, be prepared to be hunted down and captured or killed regardless of what country you are from/flee to.

    One last thing. If you are an individual or a government that aides or provides refuge for these people, you are no better than they are, and should be treated just like them. That is why Mr. O just sent 30,000 more troops to Afghanistan. Merry Christmas.

    :D LOL. I wonder if one of the jihadists could provide a reasonable and logical answer to the first 2 paragraph.

    Merry Christmas. I attended mass today in the church of annunciation, with two czech tourists who wanted to check out how christmas looks like in Jesus' grotto ;)
    They found mass in Arabic pretty cool.

    As a muslim we can stop The person who is going to burn the holly quran but we dont have right to punish him....Because It is said in Holy Quran by God Almighty that I am responsible for the quran to make it safe...So if a person who ever try to burns the quran god may punish him at the same time or may be later in his life...Or may be on the day of judgment...

    As they once said about mormon poligamy - You can believe what you want, but you cant do what you want.

    You have no right, in my country at least, to stop me doing whatever i want to the quran, regardless what it says in your little book.

    you have taken another meaning of it...or may be i have used some unrelated words....Basically from stopping i did'nt mean to force you not to do that....I basically mean if i see you doing it i should advice you not to do that...hope that clears you...

    Haha, I just had a flash back. I was in Morroco over Ramadan a few years back, rolling through the market place eating a big bag of chips. A few people walked up to me with smiles on their faces and asked me about it, and why I didn't honor Ramadan, but nobody was aggressive. I was rather impressed how friendly and moderate everyone was. Now I'll bet you that had I been BBQing a Quran, the response would have been different....
