sir i know that those people who chose 2 burn quran don't represent western values i also want u 2 know that we dont care about wat those people planing 2 do ..
i mean their only burning their books.. quran is more than just merely a book and am not worried at all even if every copy in the usa got burned that wouldn't matter 2 me i have my quran and its intact and am not letting any one burn it
@mohab1989 I am glad you see it that way. These people at the Dove World Outreach Center do not represent anyone, and they are a tiny minority that is making everyone in the west angry at them.

It's important political speech to burn the koran.

@muslimBOLT if you are muslim then you remove the coment because its nasty and we as a muslims we belive in bible and tora too so its against our religion of Islam to burn any holy book where are any of our prophet's names is in.

I burned some qurans. See the video here @iamopinionated123 . We burn Qurans to show how violent Islam really is. What the big deal. Those qurans keep me warm on a cold night. It's not insensitive to burn a quran; just as it is not insensitive to build a Mosque at Ground Zero.

there's nothing "disgusting" about burning a paper book. the muslim mentality i agree is disgusting, but not burning a book, you extreme leftist radical
By translation from the Arabic, Islam means - literally - 'submission'; the submission of Muslim and non-Muslim to the supposed 'laws of Allah' as they have been promulgated in the Quran. That means death for those who wish to leave the Islamic faith (check this out with Sura 18, verses 75 and 81, if you really find this difficult to believe). This is undoing every achievement of western civilistion over the past 500 years, including liberty of conscience, equality before the law, & much more.
The consequence of the Muslim reaction to the Danish Cartoons is that those cartoons are now all over the Internet. Some Muslims were crushed to death in the riots. Those cartoons should have been published in every newspaper in the free world as a matter of public interest. The cowardice of the media in the face of Muslim aggression is astonishing and deeply disturbing. The values of Islam are wholly incompatible with the values of liberal democracy. We must be allowed to freely criticise.
I appreciate your arguments about this, and I hate book-burning (of ANY book, perhaps apart from anything by Dan Brown), but if Muslims get violent about this, they really are no better than the book-burning bastards. (Bow before my alliteration. BOW! BOW!)
Reminds me of the old complaint I made as a kid. "Why isn't there a Children's Day?" "Why, every day is Children's Day."
As far as I'm concerned, every day IS actually Don't Burn Any Book Day. So don't think I'm not down with this cause, brother. (Pardon the familiarity.)
And thanks for the continued injection of reason into YouTube.
The only sword that Muslims need to sharpen is their own sword if intellect. We need to spread the word in the Muslim community- and raise the awareness about such things as agent provocatures, etc. It is the agents among the Muslims who will encourage violence. Anekantavad- I'll share your video with my Muslim brothers and sisters. May your efforts be prospered. I caught a group of agent provactures on tape in Manhattan. Please watch
You can also blame the media for giving this goon Florida pastor more attention then he deserves, He is like Fred Phelps except he is against Islam and ironically the separation of church & state.
@Obasiliasfilosofos Yes indeed. Some have suggested that I am adding to that, but I guess I believe that the cat is already out of the bag on this one in terms of media attention, and I'd just like to say that these peoples' planned 'even' revolts me.
@edlgotbanged There's a 100 year-old Catholic church in the center of Tusis with no security guards. It is in no danger. In 2002 an ancient synagogue was bombed on the island of Djerba and the population was aghast, to the point where the Tunisian gov't finally got the excuse they needed to crack down hard on religious extremists. In almost every Muslim country, being a good Muslim is a highly-respected thing. Being a religious fanatic makes you hated and feared.
This reminds me..Couple years ago in Turkey 3 people,(their hands tied and throats slashed ) killed for printing and distributing bible.I rather prefer the killerscould choose to burn the bibles instead.I can not say I respect quran more than I do to my porn collection but burning book can not eradicate the books engraved in peoples minds (I dont believe that licking muslims ass is a solution either). Thats why I can not shout up! I`m against burning books but support criticism(harsh or smooth)
@AmdanAbla99 Are you saying that Muslims needn't fear deadly violence in the west? I am not saying that you are, but if you do believe that I must disagree.
@Anekantavad I think muslims are enough aware where are they safe where not.Just observe:where are they coming from and where are they going true? Do you think in the west,muslims dont have any contribution to the hate which might turn into a deadly violance in the future?
@AmdanAbla99: Muslims who are educated know that Uthman (the 3rd Khalif) made a bon-fire out of a pile of Qurans during his rule over the Muslim community. So the shock value of such a thing was exhausted over 1400 years ago. Nowhere does the Quran instruct violence over book burning. Therefore, if Muslims get upset and become violent over this event, its is because they are NOT practicing Islam. Quran 3:111-112 warns us about this particular group of so-called Christians.
...Also not every Moslem support the 9/11 attacks.But now the western civilisation think that all moslems are terrorists.I for example are disgusted by the 9/11 attacks also.But when people hear that i am a Turk they say you are terrorist.This whole sit and wait to see what will happen system don't work anymore.Fredom can't be unlimited.This is an attempt.İn my oppinion this is enough to speak with this man seriously and tell him the consequences.National and international.
Its above fredom , its above fredom of speach , its above fredom of religion.Its a hate crime.the US authorities have to act or the situation will be irrevocable.
@zippo807 I'm not sure the authorities in the US have the legal means to intervene. That's the flip-side of freedom. Everyone has the freedom to give offense.
I would just like to point out that not everyone supports what they plan to do. In fact, many of us are disgusted by it.
@Koss42 Heh heh ... I wonder if it's being seriously considered ...
I also don't envy the local cops. They have to keep the peace, while a bunch of fundamentalists are determined to go to war. I can imagine a few cops daydreaming of boiling a few pastors in oil once in a while :-)
...Who People's social class, race, religion, sect or region difference in terms of features one segment, another segment against hatred and enmity openly incite anyone, so public safety in terms of clear and immediate danger of the emergence, in case one to three years imprisonment...
This whole burn a Qur'an day turned to a national securtiy issue of the USA.Authorities who will accept this behaviour risk the future of the Us citizens.I would lock this crazy man to a cell and trow the key to the sea.If somebody would to dare burn a bible we lock him from 1 to 3 years in the jail.The Turkish Criminal Justice is very clear about that. Article 216 says : ...
I never understood the problem with book burning. In this case I do, but with book burning nowadays, there's very few circumstances where you burning a book is burning the only book of that kind. The information contained in that book likely exists online or in a million other libraries or stores. Especially a religious text.
@amet1980 Well, what I am doing has nothing to do with appreasement. To me, this is about common decency and avoiding pointless trouble. I don't see what purpose is served by it as IMO they already know that there's nothing they can do about the vilification of their religion. One need only surf the nest to see that.
@Anekantavad it has sunk in to most muslims that freedom of speech,is not retractable, a quite dramatic change from the feeling some islamic orgs had in 2005.
no matter how distastefull the specific act is, its still with the boundaries of civil rights.
ultimatly getting through to religious leaders and making understand the boundaries and the red lines of western tolerance, is a policy that would have saved lives.
i on the other hand think the whole multiculturalist experiment will end bad.
@amet1980 This is why I will not question these people's right to do what they plan to do. But I can't stay silent when things like this are going on. We keep upping the ante, year after year, with our endless attempts to offend. Where is this going?
@amet1980 Quite. In this case the context seems clear. Muslims are being quite literally demonized. The internet pretty much guarantees that religion is no longer sacrosanct, but claiming that 1.5bil people are in league with satan isn't exactly the sort of language that's conducive to peace on earth :-)
I wont bother giving a shit. so many people giving the muslims too much publicity. fuck em. ignore the fucktarded. in time they will fade away. quit adding fuel to the fire. nuff said.
@Anekantavad ok. so fuck islam . fuck all religion. I say this all the time and I get slammed for it...from fuckin athiests. why? just bein a dick here. why?
@Slapnuts6931 Well, I am just saying that there are 1.5bil Muslims on the earth today, and it might be a little bit unrealistic to expect them to stop being Muslims anytime soon. That is the reality of the situation.
I understand your position, and I won't give you grief about it. But with respect, I must differ.
@Slapnuts6931 "I get slammed for it...from fuckin athiests. why? just bein a dick here."
Well other than people don't usually like "dick"s... it is because Atheists can disagree. We have no tennets, no manifesto, no holy scripture that tells us what and how to think. What morality to have. There is no objective outside influence that tells us what we believe.
Therefore, you are going to get criticism. Like any other belief or viewpoint in the world. Why do you care if others agree with you?
Such an act as burning books is something i wouldnt ever agree with no matte how much i disagree with the contents, especially with religous books. I mean burning the Qur'an will give those with extremist views within islam more ammunition against the west.
@franky225 Burn a Mein Kampf/Communist Manifesto/Anarchist Cookbook/Satanic Bible/Harlequin Romance Day in a big pile would repel me the same way. It is the purest form of hysteria.
Would the burning of any of these books cause the same level of violence (or indeed any violence) that you seem to think is inevitable from this koran burning day?
@franky225 You'll have to do a lot more to get blocked :-)
I think that it could indeed result in violence. Why? Because many Muslims worldwide are relatively new to the concept of the permissive society. Over time that will change, as they realize that the odd extremist or rabble-rouser doesn't represent the society they belong to, anymore than Osama represents them.
@MrKrov No, and not everyone sees the issue the same way I do. I respect peoples' take on this as an issue of protest and free speech, and that's why I am careful not to support any restrictions on these peoples' rights, however much I disagree with them.
@RtFusion2001 Criticism is perfectly okay, and freedom of expression is an absoulte right. But this is deliberate offense, and I am availing of my right to free speech in denouncing it.
Its an interesting dichotomy - or perhaps it is not a dichotomy at all – when everyone wanted to draw Muhammad the focus seemed to be on speech and with this burning there is a totally different feeling but I think both activities are linked by respect. Proponents of the Drawing Day wanted respect for their perceived rights to speech but this burning seems to abrogate the idea of respect entirely. Its just fear. I suppose fear thrives in the place where respect should be.
@lucifael1 It looks to me as though these lovely people in Gainesville are deliberately trying to provoke and offend. They have that right, and I won't dispute it. But I will speak against it as an affront to human decency.
I left some comments on the video of an unnamed user, quite proud of them aside from being skilled button pushing they were damn true.
He stated it was for "the theatrics" i pointed out that the filming of the event and its sharing was for him to receive ego pats (of hate mongers and group mentality types).
Really annoyed me if im honest its real star wars dark side shit, the insecurity of an individual leads to alienation of a group which leads to hate which leads to anger and on to war 4 all.
@SothisAmon That's precisely it. We know just how offensive this is, and we also know what kind of trouble it could lead to. I think this is a very bad idea for a protest, and the people doing it aren't exactly the kind of people you'd invite to a barbecue.
@franky225 I believe in Freedom of Speech, but I know what will happen if I walk up to a professional boxer and make certain remarks about his wife/mother/daughter.
@franky225 PS: Please keep the comments coming. I know there will be people ready to twist my words, strawman me and deliberately decontextualize what I say when I make the video. I know you are not doing any of these things, but some people will do so :-)
IIRC, there was a wise Jewish guy, who lived in the early 19th century, who said "where they burn books, they'll one day burn people". what was his name again?
I´m also against book burnings (please, at least TRY to learn something from history people!), therefore i will mirror your upcoming video on that subject.
Great idea. I remember about 2 years ago a video by dendrophilian was purposefully bumped up to the most watched list on youtube by members of the atheist community repeated reloading the page. I'm surprised this doesn't happen very often.
@Anekantavad I think a date should be set, perhaps the 10th. Its not much to ask people to refresh and "like" the video a few times particularly if they feel you have a message that needs hearing.
I'm torn on doing anything on this topic. I can't help but feeling it's just giving attention to a bunch of nutters. Attention is what they want, so they can have that big showdown.
It isn't like we can stop them. But your idea is not a bad idea.
@TheTruePooka I know. It's not really a black-and-white topic, as there are issues of freedom of speech, assembly and expression etc, and I do not in any way believe that these people should be subjected to any restrictions if they don't break any law.
Personally, I believe that religion is a fantasy, but this is IMO a case of deliberately being as offensive as possible and goes beyond the religion vs reason debate,
@Anekantavad For one thing, many southerners are "still fighting" the war. Also, that flag has since become a well recognized symbol of racism and intolerance. Also, did you read the explanation at the link I left? It might help you understand. Particularly it might help you understand that it's not meant as a protest of the South, but of right wing demagogues.
@CousinoMacul Yes, I understand the connotations of the use of the stars-and-bars today, but that only proves that extremists have hijacked the symbol of the CSA. I'd prefer to see the flag taken back by the mainstream, as the South wasn't just slavery and lynchings. There was a lot of idealism in the CSA as well.
Besides, I am a Canadian, and it seems an internal American matter and thus none of my business anyway :-)
What I don't understand is why people have to be stupid. If you don't like something be better, be smarter. Don't be as stupid as the ones you don't like. It is just sad. Regards and have a skilful life. Pinge
@PingeMusic I know they are stupid and probably not 100% sane. But I think if we just distance ourselves loudly enough, the Muslims of this world will see the same thing - that they are considered crazies even in the west.
@Anekantavad well, i see religion as a problem and islam as the biggest of all religious problems, even though its being carried out by a church, and its dumb, i feel anything anti-religious (within reason) gets my vote.
people have tried reasoned logic for centuries and failed, believers dont listen to logic, so hell, lets see where some irrationality gets us
@mikesomething I agree that this isn't a black/white issue, and I understand the powerful statement it would make in terms of freedom of speech etc. I just think it may be a bit overboard - and I am an almost fanatical lover of books :-)
@Anekantavad I am almost a fanatical lover of books also. Even with the ones I dislike or disagree with, I will rather see them read by many rather than subjected to Fahrenheit 451.
@Koss42 I know. Indians are actually obsessive about what they will eat and what they will not eat, and the eyeball-soup in The Temple of Doom was just comic relief.
@mikesomething :people have tried reasoned logic for centuries and failed, believers dont listen to logic, so hell, lets see where some irrationality gets us"
I am better, and know better than to stoop so low as to subject anything I dislike to hatred and bigotry.
This is the reason we value freedom of religion. What would these people do if they were in power? How would they treat us, the irreligious? The enemy of my enemy... sure but within the bounds of reason.
burning a book is not low, its not hatred and its not bigotry.
it can be simply a deep felt disagreement with the the problem we face with religion
example, i feel drugs are bad, so i burn cocaine. this does not mean i am bigoted, or i hate cocaine, it just means i wish to send the message that "i think this is NOT cool", and reason has failed, YET i still want to send a message
@mikesomething I don't really care about keeping things sacred. Draw Muhammad day had a reason behind it. To defend freedom of speech and the free press.
What does burning Holy Books do for your cause? Other than pissing theists off. How is that going to solve anything? It will just be misunderstood and reinforce their already wrong preconceptions and stereotypes of non-theistic individuals.
I used the words hate and bigotry due to the history of book burning, and the context of this group
Destroying cocaine or drugs is what our government already does. They do it to prevent that quantity they captured to be used. In your example, you would do it to say its not "cool".
I doubt cocaine users would even care if you thought their drug of choice was cool or not.
Calling yourself an Atheist already shows others you have a disagreement with their beliefs. I fail to see how burning anything will stop religion. Or free minds. Just reinforces false stereotypes.
@Koss42 When saying our government, I really ment the US government. I don't know if you live here or not... just a tendency due to living in the US and speaking with only Americans except for on the internet.
I wouldn't doubt it if other governments incinerate drugs they outlaw.
God just whispered into my ear: why not a beautiful girl but this stupid guy speaking?

By translation from the Arabic, Islam means - literally - 'submission'; the submission of Muslim and non-Muslim to the supposed 'laws of Allah' as they have been promulgated in the Quran. That means death for those who wish to leave the Islamic faith (check this out with Sura 18, verses 75 and 81, if you really find this difficult to believe). This is undoing every achievement of western civilistion over the past 500 years, including liberty of conscience, equality before the law, & much more.

The consequence of the Muslim reaction to the Danish Cartoons is that those cartoons are now all over the Internet. Some Muslims were crushed to death in the riots. Those cartoons should have been published in every newspaper in the free world as a matter of public interest. The cowardice of the media in the face of Muslim aggression is astonishing and deeply disturbing. The values of Islam are wholly incompatible with the values of liberal democracy. We must be allowed to freely criticise.
MagnusNielsenBewick 1 year ago
I appreciate your arguments about this, and I hate book-burning (of ANY book, perhaps apart from anything by Dan Brown), but if Muslims get violent about this, they really are no better than the book-burning bastards. (Bow before my alliteration. BOW! BOW!)

AmdanAbla99 1 year ago
@AmdanAbla99: Muslims who are educated know that Uthman (the 3rd Khalif) made a bon-fire out of a pile of Qurans during his rule over the Muslim community. So the shock value of such a thing was exhausted over 1400 years ago. Nowhere does the Quran instruct violence over book burning. Therefore, if Muslims get upset and become violent over this event, its is because they are NOT practicing Islam. Quran 3:111-112 warns us about this particular group of so-called Christians.

I never understood the problem with book burning. In this case I do, but with book burning nowadays, there's very few circumstances where you burning a book is burning the only book of that kind. The information contained in that book likely exists online or in a million other libraries or stores. Especially a religious text.

any goverment can place red lines and carry its message across very clearly if it wants to.
muslims need to accept that their religion/prophet will be made fun of, and there is nothing they can do about it.

@Anekantavad it has sunk in to most muslims that freedom of speech,is not retractable, a quite dramatic change from the feeling some islamic orgs had in 2005.
no matter how distastefull the specific act is, its still with the boundaries of civil rights.
ultimatly getting through to religious leaders and making understand the boundaries and the red lines of western tolerance, is a policy that would have saved lives.
i on the other hand think the whole multiculturalist experiment will end bad.

@Slapnuts6931 "I get slammed for it...from fuckin athiests. why? just bein a dick here."
Well other than people don't usually like "dick"s... it is because Atheists can disagree. We have no tennets, no manifesto, no holy scripture that tells us what and how to think. What morality to have. There is no objective outside influence that tells us what we believe.
Therefore, you are going to get criticism. Like any other belief or viewpoint in the world. Why do you care if others agree with you?

Its an interesting dichotomy - or perhaps it is not a dichotomy at all – when everyone wanted to draw Muhammad the focus seemed to be on speech and with this burning there is a totally different feeling but I think both activities are linked by respect. Proponents of the Drawing Day wanted respect for their perceived rights to speech but this burning seems to abrogate the idea of respect entirely. Its just fear. I suppose fear thrives in the place where respect should be.

Destroying cocaine or drugs is what our government already does. They do it to prevent that quantity they captured to be used. In your example, you would do it to say its not "cool".
