FR I have doubts that this came from the FBI. If so it should be a locked PDF file, but it's not. However it is plausible enough for discussion. Idolatry is idolatry, even in the reverse. This is supposedly forbidden for Jews and Christians, and as usual interpretation is the key. Not sure quite where the Catholics fit in there, there's as much idolatry there as in anything. They can't see that burning something as a symbol of even one's enemies is as wrong as elevating something of your own to idol status. I also wonder just what these idiots hope to accomplish. I mean - WHY ? Do they think the religion will go away because they burned a few symbols ? A book is a book nothing more. I think with exceptions of course, many Jews have a handle on this like I do. If anyone wanted to burn the Koran it would be them, but I think they require at least half a brain or something and realize the it would do no good. Things are bad, mostly due to the meddling of the US government in Arab affairs, and now people want to make it worse ? Are people that fucking stupid ? Perhaps that is a rhetorical question, we might already have the answer. Now there is a difference between sybolism and idolatry. If your dungeon burns down you might not be happy to lose the decorations, the St. Andrew's cross and all those wierd things you bought from Germany, Transylvania or whatever, but you don't mourn it as a sign from God. You don't cry, you start figuring out how to fill out the insurance forms with the minimum of outing yourself. I am starting to figure out that most of the world is still living in medeival times, only the technology has changed. Let's try the shoe on the other foot, what if Moslems came, broke in and destroyed the original Constitution ? Would that invalidate this country ? Of course we would be pissed but would it warrant killing all of their "kind" ? No, they would put the asshole in jail and throw away the key, I would think. Of course the President would cry on TV to make it look good but would he push the button ? Hell no, that would just drive oil prices even higher. That is because some people idolize the almighy buck more than anything else. I believe the urge would be there though because save a few exceptions we are a very primitive species. And it's getting worse. As over population gets worse instead of cooperation we have more competition. This is natural - for animals. The fight over precious resources and such, when there simply is not enough to go around. But this type pf bullshit is not even up to animalistic standards. Animals fight to survive. We fight because we simply don't like each other. Think of the fagbashers. What did homosexuals ever do to them ? You don't like how someone looks or acts, their beliefs, what they do in the privacy of their own homes ? What's next, forcing Moslems and Jews to eat pork because we think it's right and if they don't change their mind we will kill them ? Of course that's preposterous, and I haven't heard of Moslems burning Talmuds or Bibles. What is this, a stupid contest ? It is starting to look that way. And what Moslem would consider building a mosque at ground zero ? That has to be symbolic in a way. As far as I know we are not talking about extremists here. What were they going to do in that mosque, celebrate taking prime NYC real estate away from their emeny bretheren the Jews and the greedy, decadent capitalist dogs of the west ? What's the fucking point of it ? And now, as fair minded people on all sides of this issue try to get the point across that it is not the people who are at odds with one another for the most part, it is the governmants, there are those who would strive to overshadow that message with a show of hatred, by the PEOPLE. Ridiculous is not the word, it is simply not strong enough. Stupid is not strong enough. We need a new adjective for these times. It takes the light twelve minutes to reach these people from stupid and ridiculous. T
