I’m not “indifferent” to the abuse of the Koran. I’m simply putting that wrong into perspective. The Quran is sacred to you. The Torah is sacred to the Jews. The Bible is sacred to the Christians. I think I’m pretty balanced in my views on this one. I said that I wouldn’t string up a bunch of Palestinians for using pages of the Bible as toilet paper either.

Balanced in a lopsided way methinks. Am sure most practising christians or muslims would not take the palestinian actions lightly. I for one wouldn’t. Its not just the actions is it, its more the ugly sentiments behind it.

Further, I really don’t believe that Allah/Jesus/God would waste a lot of time pondering which was more precious.

I agree, which is why i said we shouldnt be comparing two either. Two wrongs dunn make a right. if you remember, you brought up the Imam vs Quran argument yourself.

If you find that disrespectful to Islam, what can I say. I won’t apologize for my viewpoint.

The only thing i was objecting to was the initial reason you gave for undermining the soldiers actions, and not showing any outrage on the abuse of the Quran, merely due to ‘some’ muslims acting as lynch mob and then going on to accuse all of us to condoning murder and and suicide bombers and what not. it was totally unnessarily and uncalled for.

But don’t expect me to share your outrage and lynchmob mentality when you tolerate and/or condone much greater evils perpetrated by people who are not Americans, like, for instance, killing clerics and blowing up little kids in marketplaces in Iraq or pizza parlors in Israel.

If your stance has now changed to you being indifferent because you dont hold the religious books as sacred, then thats fine, i dont have a problem. However, it doesnt take much to understand how others might feel when something sacred to them has been violated. IMO, being ‘indifferent’ to intolerance is not really something we should be proud of.
