Writing A French Wedding Card

burn books, or intolerance of stupidity

Foreword. The Rev. Terry Jones is a colossal idiot. Or a skillful manipulator of the media even more of our PresDelCons , I have not decided yet. Or more likely both. Her threat to burn Korans to mark the anniversary of September is dangerous, pathetic, and deeply stupid.
though.
But the fact remains that no matter how odious, burning books is not as bad as killing people, and the September 11 people were killed there almost three thousand. And it is also true that the terrorists of 9 / 11 were Muslims, and that the motives of the attack were religious.
though.
But it is also true that the vision of Islam of the bombers and their sponsors was a vision extremist, that certainly does not reflect the faith of the overwhelming majority of Muslims worldwide. In an episode of West Wing , made on the occasion of 9 / 11, it was said that Al-Qaeda is to Islam as the Ku Klux Klan is to Christianity, and I think a comparison guessed.
though.
But I'll put my hand on fire if any Imam in search of fame had burned Bibles in the streets to mark (chess) the massacre Srebrenica, there were threats and attacks by Christians around the world.
though.
But going to work yesterday I passed a temporary mosque (the Steam Factory in Milan) where he was celebrating the end of Ramadan, and the impression I got was not that of a threat, but that of a party, with balloons, drinks and colors.

I do not know.
be because I have recently very little sympathy for religion, but this story (and its ramifications, as the controversy over the mosque at Ground Zero) to tolerate very little.

prefer to remember the victims of nine years ago, hoping that there are others because of some fanatic who seeks to establish to the sound of bombs or fires who has the best imaginary friend .
