That's two in a row.  I'm not running.  ZOOM means different things.

[C4lv1n]

Ok, so I'm probably going to piss a few people off, but someone needs to do the following:

Bring a BIG stack of bibles to the site that they're going to be burning the Korans, and just stand there with several lighters and some of those red jug/can things full of gasoline.

If they burn the Korans, then the bibles also get burned. Easy enough, and they would have a really difficult time justiying the burning of the Korans and not the Bibles.

I apologize to anyone I may have pissed off, but when stuff like this happens, I get really brutal.

Also no, I'm not musilim.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

You'd be persecuted for hate speach if you did that. Not a good idea, really.

[Euld]

Bibles and churches get defaced and burned all too often, they might just shrug it off.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

I don't know where you live, but in the southern United States church burnings are practically a local crisis, and bringing any harm to a Bible is not taken well at all.

Yup, its a-ok to burn religious symbols that arn't 'yours'.

[Eugenitor]

Or, if you really have the guts, get a whole bunch of Bibles and put flimsy cover-jackets on them to make them look like Korans. Burn them in their own bonfire with their approval.

It's ok to burn anything you own, including religious symbols. I am only saying what I think would happen if C4lv1n's plan were to go through, and how harm to churches and bibles are treated by the media in my area. Nothing more.

What delicious irony that would bring.

He wouldn't get persecuted for harmful speech.
That there's lynchin' material.

[Phmcw]

There is no need to bring bible : as far as I know, most of the bible is also in th koran.
Yup, these moron are also burning their own holly book.

Yes, except no. Not at all.

[Eugenitor]

Oh, wait, I know what to do.

Get Arabic translations of the NIV and make sure they don't have anything ostensibly Christian on the cover. It's not like these guys are going to recognize Arabic letters, let alone read Arabic. (Heck, most of them have problems with Arabic numerals.) They'll just see more books with those funny little squiggles on the front. In it goes!

[Phmcw]

"speaks well of the relationship it has with former books (the Torah and the Gospel) and attributes their similarities to their unique origin and saying all of them have been revealed by the one God.[103]

According to Sahih Bukhari, the Quran was recited among Levantines and Iraqis, and discussed by Christians and Jews before it was standardized.[104] Its language was similar to the Syriac language. The Qur'an recounts stories of many of the people and events recounted in Jewish and Christian sacred books (Tanakh, Bible) and devotional literature (Apocrypha, Midrash), although it differs in many details. Adam, Enoch, Noah, Eber, Shelah, Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Jethro, David, Solomon, Elijah, Elisha, Jonah, Aaron, Moses, Zechariah, John the Baptist, and Jesus are mentioned in the Qur’an as prophets of God (see Prophets of Islam). Muslims believe the common elements or resemblances between the Bible and other Jewish and Christian writings and Islamic dispensations is due to their common divine source, and that the original Christian or Jewish texts were authentic divine revelations given to prophets.

Muslims believe that those texts were neglected, corrupted (tahrif) or altered in time by the Jews and Christians and have been replaced by God's final and perfect revelation, which is the Qur'an"
As usual wikipedia

You're righ it's only very much alike.
I don't know, though if there is "complete" koran with a compilation of every book, and "partial" with only the koran, as when you have sometime only the new testament, and sometime the full bible.
We need a muslim.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

The books having a common origin and common characters doesn't mean much after several centuries of translating and altering to fit the needs of whomever was following it. They aren't that much alike, and more importantly (when it comes to this incident), they are not considered alike. I doubt of the followers of the Bible or Quran who pull off stunts like this care much about what similarities exist.

[Phmcw]

Yes, but the new testament is holly for the muslims too (or so told me a muslim friend, I may have to question him further) and wikipedia seems to think that it's good for an educated muslim to know a bit about new estament and thora. So I wondered if those existed in compilation.
