Florida to Burn copies of the Koran

[Doozer]

Christianity is waaaaay too fractured into different faiths to compare it as a whole to anything. Ever hear of the Westboro Baptist Church? According to their interpretation of the Bible, they're right too



Jesus ("Isa" in Arabic) is the second most important prophet in Islam. The Qu'ran says that he was the child of a virgin birth to Mary (Maryam) by the will of Allah, and so is probably the only person in the Muslim world to have a female lineage in his name (Isa ibn Maryam). But the Qu'ran specifically states that Jesus was not the Son of God - the Tawhid, or the Oneness of Allah, says that Allah would never "lower" himself to take on human form, much less "split" his power into a Trinity. According to Islam, Jesus did not die on the cross (the quote is "...but it was made appear to them as so..."), but was taken up body and soul by Allah into heaven, where he waits to come back to fight the Dajjal (like an Anti-Christ) and lead the human race in a period of peace and prosperity, after which, he will die a mortal death.

Muslims believe that Jesus was permitted by Allah to perform miracles to aid his ministry to the Jewish people, but that the Gospel has been warped and misinterpreted by men, and that the other Peoples of the Book (Jews and Christians) are incorrect in their own religions.

I wrote a paper on the spread of Islam in the west in college, fnar fnar I also want to say more about the notion of Jihad, but I'll wait to see if there's any more interest in this thread.

1 Many Christian writers felt teh same way before comming to agreement on the Trinity. They only came up with the idea to counter claims of who Jesus was. Was he divine or human. They had to make him divine to resemble God but keep him human or his paschal mystery would not save mankind

2 Some Christian writers thought this too, Have a look at Johns and Marks Gospels accounts of the rolling away of the stone on the tomb. One says his spirt was there the other claims he was brought to heaven both body and soul

I love the way people study religion /theology yet dont learn the most important bit i.e. thats its all superstitious bollocks.

Go on burn the Koran and add the Bible and every other related piece of claptrap. And if it offends folk, well they can fuck off pronto and learn to accept that their beliefs are not gonna stop the rest of us from doing what we want to do, say, think or feel.

We can roast some marshmallows while we're at it.

Yeah but Doozer that's a total corruption from the start, you're just giving into demands of terrorists.

If the book-burning doesn't mean anything, then that's fine. But they can burn the books if they wish. Why don't be Muslims burn Christian bibles or American flags... oh wait, they're always burning American flags.

The danger is that believers can be fanatical, and so don't behave in a rational manner.

Although they are in the wrong, there is no point in unecessarily antagonising them

There is a slightn difference bewteen condeming a countries policies and condememing a religeon
Nicegirls, not all Muslims are terrorists so by burning the Qu'ran you are saying that all Muslims are terrorits
