Soon, the Qur’an will join the ranks of Harry Potter. On the ninth anniversary of 9/11, a church in Florida plans to hold an “International Burn a Qur’an Day” (I think the “international” thing might be a bit overambitious on their part). About the event, the church writes in its blog: “What is acceptable to today’s leadership becomes acceptable to tomorrow’s society.” Yeah, good point. Let’s make sure the “leaders of tomorrow’s society” light books on fire whenever they have a problem. Guess what? It’s just a book. What a miserable way to honor those lost in the 9/11 tragedy.
By the way, in predominantly Islamic societies, a large number of people born blind become professional Qur’an reciters. I’ll tell them to stay away from Florida lest they get burned. Because the blind Muslim reciters are obviously the intolerant, violent ones.
Note:
Oh wait, the mastermind behind the 1993 World Trade Center bombing was Omar Abdel-Rahman. He was blind.
Well, at least I tried…
