The burners, because it accomplishes nothing but to create hate reaction.
The murderers, because it violates the book they are defending, and kills innocents instead of the so-called transgressors.

Re: Florida Quran burning - 7 die
I was traveling on business last night, so I happened to watch TV for the first time in a LOOOOOOONG time, at a hotel. I watched Bill Maher say, "When did being stupid become in vogue?" More truth than poetry in those words! In my opinion, the "minister" should be brought up on charges of inciting. Of course, I don't condone what the religeous zealots did in Afghanistan.
Religeous zealots should all be put in a room and finish each other off so that the rest of us can have some peace.Peace, Love, and Local Grindz

And the idiots keep on breeding. Sometimes forced sterilization seems like a good idea, but that's a whole can-o-ethical-worms.
I wonder how well the Gurkhas did against the mob, their rules of engagement, and the layout of the building/compound."By concealing your desires, you may trick people into being cruel about the wrong thing." --Steven Aylett, Fain the Sorcerer

Re: Florida Quran burning - 7 die
Here is an interesting dscussion whether the Bible is true or not. If the minister in Florida judged the Bible by the same criteria that he judged the Quran, he should have burned the Bible too. It is not the two books that are the problem, it is how people use those two books to justify their actions, whether it be burning the Quran or killing UN workers.
If religion (or even lack of religion) makes people better for the common good, then religion is good. If it does not, as in this case, then it is not good. Matapule, for one, is not willing to fight the Crusades all over again.
There is no doubt in this matapule's mind that there are members of the HT ohana who use their religion (or lack thereof) and beliefs to make the world a better place. You know who they are. They deserve our support and admiration.Peace, Love, and Local Grindz

Re: Florida Quran burning - 7 die
I am not bashing anyone who holds any religious beliefs, but what I do find ironic is the amount of people that have been/are killed in the name of God, v. the name of Satan/the Devil, Beelzebub, so ons and so on.
No matter what religion a person chooses, I am under the assumption that the Golden rule is at the basis of it.
Religion is coming more and more the face of evil, so ironic.flickr

Even though I am not a believer in "God," I recognize that there are countless good deeds, large and small, done "in his name" every single day. Without those actions, the world would be a far sadder place.

Re: Florida Quran burning - 7 die
Sounds like you're speaking out of both sides of your mouth. Religious belief is cited as justification for both good and bad deeds (both are countless, and heaven knows how you determine which is which or whether one sort exceeds the other). If the motivating factor for any deed is a religious belief, and that belief is propagated by official religious agents, then the religious institution does bear at least some share of the praise or blame assigned.Last edited by salmoned; April 3, 2011, 09:07 PM.May I always be found beneath your contempt.

The way to handle this would be for the families of all the victims of the resulting violence to sue the pastor, his church, and his parishioners for all the damages, the wrongful death, loss of consortium, physical injury, just bankrupt the guy and all his parishioners, keep them all in court for eternity, eternity in legal hell.
