Muslims Dare Not Put the Bible on Trial

“Muslims dare not put the Bible on some despicable trial; this is beyond any Muslim’s weirdest imagination”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - “We’re not big debaters. We’re not very well-educated; we’re just simple people trying to do the right thing.” Said Luke Jones, the son of the Florida pastor who finally carried out his most ignorant plan and burned a copy of the holy scripture of Muslims (Qur’an)
Adding to what Luke had said, I tend to believe that he and his father, Pastor Terry Jones, along with the 30-person Christian congregation at Dove World Outreach Center are amongst the most clueless and deluded people on earth.

According to this Jones and on March 20th - or what he designated as  “International judge the Qur’an day” - he burned a copy of the Qur’an after he had thoroughly judged the book which he found dangerously guilty.
….!!

What a joke,

What a silly joke.

If we were told that every day there were some persons who thought of or actually contrived to kill their stepfathers, whom they had suspected of being accomplices to the murder of their deceased fathers, would that incriminate Shakespeare and his masterpiece play “Hamlet”?
Could we by any chance or logic for that matter, judge the book of Shakespeare and find it guilty of inciting violence and the killing of one’s next of kin.

Does that make any logic?

To develop a better Understanding of any Literature or Holy Scripture you should rely on your heart not your mind.

Logic and religion are irreconcilable.

Did you know that the Bible contained more violence and fairy tales than all Harry Potter’s parts put together? But is that enough reason for Muslims to ridicule or demonize the Bible or put it on trial for that matter.
Every time I read Hamlet, I can’t help myself sympathizing with the deeply tormented and mourning prince who cherished so dearly the memory of his late father he was sincerely willing to give up his own life to see his lord’s betrayal avenged.

Foolishness breeds more foolishness…
And extremism will definitely breed more extremism.

Qur’an is the most sacred book on planet earth for Muslims; for the sake of its reverence they are willing to give their lives just as little and dispensable Hamlet thought of his life when the memory of his king had been desecrated.

You don’t disgrace other people’s most dignified text and expect them to react in a dignified way. Hamlet himself couldn’t do it, he couldn’t restrain himself. Once he knew of the disgrace and the calamities that befell his Lord he went insane. That’s how Shakespeare went about it and I believe no one could have managed better.

The world doesn’t need more madness right now.

We have got all the madness we need for the moment.

Muslims will dare not burn the Bible back in return. But they’d rather die than witness the sanctity of their Qur’an violated.
Muslims dare not judge the Bible for it is equally sacred to them as the Qur’an is.

Jesus and mother Mary are equally revered as prophet Mohamed by all Muslims. Muslims dare not put the Bible on some despicable trial; this is beyond any Muslim’s weirdest imagination.

William Shakespeare

To be or not to be ..
This is how we should be judging ourselves?

To be tolerant,
To be civilized,
To be caring for others,… or not to be.
…..

That is the question.

Dr.Ezzat said "Did you know that the Bible contained more violence and fairy tales than all Harry Potter’s parts put together? But is that enough reason for Muslims to ridicule or demonize the Bible or put it on trial for that matter" It seems You haven't read the Quran which say's "SECTION 8. 62. Those who believe (in the Qur-an), And those who follow the Jewish (scriptures), And the Christians and the Sabians,-- Any who believe in God And the Last Day, And work righteousness, Shall have their reward With their Lord: on them Shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve." Wow no wonder, it seems they believe those "fairy tales" too. Pastor Jones probably didn't read that far, or he would hopefully of realized that.

Excuses will not do . Either people can be rational peacefull and tollerant adults. Or they prove themselves to be irrational ,ignorant extremists who believe killing and inciting violence in the name of religion is acceptable . I put it to you that if thats what you believe then by applying that same logic Israel can be justified in their unholy acts of cruelty and inhumanity . You see if you want peace and tolerence you must practice such not allow some idiots to provoke you to violence over something that does no harm except to your feelings. Grow the heck up. Theres millions that have .I dont see riots and beheadings in england or france. If you want peace you must practice what you preach. That being said it kind of sounds like this this is spin and the real reason this is happening is not about burning a book and much more about the killing of civillians . Has anyone asked? Cant have that though .I can see it now Afghan rioters kill 11 over child casualties . Peace
