Afghan riots over Quran-burning: 2 days, 20 dead

[reverendjeremiah]

The pastor only burnt a book of myths..the afcrapistan people are killing people and burning our president in effigy



Peaceful Muslims peacefully burning an image of someone who had nothing to do with burning their book of myths

So which one is worse? And if someone kills Obama, can we blame these people instead of the real murderers?

According to your logic, this means we Americans can go all frothy mouthed psycho on Muslims and afghanistanis in America and it would be the people in this pictures fault... or do you only give special considerations to these people, and hold others to different rules of morals?

Not to mention that chatpilot, an atheist, is suggesting jail and execution for people who make anti-religious protests..the height of hypocrisy in my opinion. If you HONESTLY believed this, then you would not protest ANY religion on this forum. But you do, meaning that you give yourself special treatments as well. Its not okay for a pastor to burn a koran, but it is okay for you to burn one and brag about it on a forum.

If you are in a foreign country you are to abide by that countries laws no matter where you came from. Imagine being an American that lives and works in Afghanistan and has managed to get along fine with the locals and from one minute to the next you find out that the actions of an asshole here in the U.S. just put your life in danger. All your so called friends and neighbors all of a sudden want to kill you just for being American.That's fucked up! Religion is a powerful thing and history has shown that it has been used to incite people to commit horrendous crimes in the name of their deity of choice.

Yet the victims in that country DID abide by their laws, yet they were punished for something they DIDNT do, and that someone in ANOTHER COUNTRY did where the laws allowed him to do it. Would you think it fair that someone killed you and your children because Stalin was an atheist and shut down churches? Of course not, but your logic is suggesting that they have every right to do so.

I blame the people who did cold blooded murder..not the one who burnt the book of myths.

Should a country that champions freedom of speech really be expected to go backwards and restrict peoples actions because people in another country on the other side of the world disagree with what people do with that freedom on religious grounds? I don't fucking think so. Of course the burning was an inflammatory action, but he had every right to do it. Unfortunately, you take the good with the bad with such freedoms, but better that than telling people what they can and cannot say, do or burn that has no real harm on anyone else other than possibly offending them.
