Burning of the Qur’an: a case of insanity!

A classic case of insanity, not defiance! I agree with a comment on facebook.

For God’s sake what benefit is there to burn the Holy Qur’an? We are talking about a book containing the words of God worshiped by a significant portion of the world’s population.

This is not an appeal to Pastor Jones – the man behind this perilous act - it is an appeal to America to halt this delirious madness by an insignificant congregation of lunatics who call themselves Christians. Even Pastor Jones himself is aware of the implication of his satanic mission. But being the clearly insane person he is, Jones with his congregation of 50 is very much in need of the attention of Americans.

His move, while obviously not representing the views of the wider Christian population, is poised to heighten an already strenuous relationship between the world’s two major religions.

Yes, people who strap explosive belts around their waist and blow up innocent people – regardless of their beliefs - have done so hiding behind a gross misinterpretation of the Holy Qur’an. But would that justify the ill-informed idea of burning the Qur’an to commemorate an unfortunate event that has been condemned by everyone, including Muslims who this sets out to offend?

Two wrongs do not make a right! You do not fight terrorism by instigating what causes terrorism. We all know that the burning of the Qur’an will galvanize those in favor of violence around their misguided ideas; but most importantly, it will cause untold pain in the hearts of over one billion people who have no reason to hate Christians.

Is there any reward in causing pain to anyone?

Just for suggesting this act of grave lunacy the pastor has shown he is no different from the fanatics (terrorists) he claims to be fighting against.

America and Americans need to bring this pastor to order. The very laws that he thinks guarantee his misguided actions also provide for the safeguard of American lives everywhere. His action will no doubt put American lives at increased risk everywhere in the world, in addition to jeopardizing world peace.
