Saw this on CNN.com yesterday (via Google News, of course—I’d never willingly go to CNN.com):
Really? Is that the ONLY reason having a “Burn a Koran” party would be a bad thing?
Read more of this bullshit from the above article:
The Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida, plans to mark the anniversary of al Qaeda’s September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington by burning copies of the Muslim holy book. The church insists the event is “neither an act of love nor of hate,” but a warning against what it calls the threats posed by Islam.
Seriously, STFU and GTFO of the USA if you think burning the Koran is something you should do.
This is enough to make me want to just give up.
They’re called “THE DOVE WORLD *OUTREACH* CENTER” and they want to burn Korans.
Dude.
Dove = peace
World = everybody
Outreach = reaching out to people
But they want to burn Korans.
This is a total fucking LogicFAIL

OK, I’m gonna type some amazingly obvious things now:
1) Hey, Koran-burners, how would you feel if I had a “Burn the Bible” party? Whatever happened to that whole “Don’t do unto others…” thing?
2) Hey, Koran-burners: remember that whole “freedom of religion” thing? Yeah, you’re kinda going against it. You’re showing some serious intolerance that, if shown to you, you probably wouldn’t be too keen on (see point 1).
3) Hey, Koran-burners: Intolerance toward religious views is about as unAmerican as you can get. So, if you want to be so intolerant to Islam as to want to burn it’s holy book, why don’t you go find another country to live in? Seriously. Leave my country now. You don’t belong here.
Believe what you want, say what you want, but start harassing all Muslims for something a handful of them did and you’re pissing on the principles our country was founded on. Anyone who burns the Koran (or any religious item) should NOT be punished by law—they should just be excluded from all of society.
And this is coming from an atheist who feels religion of any kind does more harm than good—but even *I* don’t go around burning Bibles and Korans.
