We, the United States, are invaders of their land - pure and simple. The Viet Namese didn't care much for the idea either.

Well said ... it's not about the burning of the Qurans.

Why would a group of people "go crazy" over the burning (or marking up) of a book when the book itself does not suggest that such acts are disrespectful. There is nothing in the Quran that mentions burning it or writing in it is a bad thing. The muslims who kill others over the mere destruction of a book are themselves disrespectful of Islam whose practice is made perfectly clear in the Quran. Killing others is carefully prescribed in the Quran and it definitely does not include killing over burning the Quran.

Here's one verse from the Quran that talks about how serious killing is:

(5:32) Because of this, we decreed for the Children of Israel that anyone who murders any person who had not committed murder or horrendous crimes, it shall be as if he murdered all the people. And anyone who spares a life, it shall be as if he spared the lives of all the people. Our messengers went to them with clear proofs and revelations, but most of them, after all this, are still transgressing.

I am so dismayed that those who call themselves muslims would kill another over the burning of a book. Shame on them. Some day they will face God with their terrible acts.

Not crazy, as long as you live in Afghanistan, or Pakistan or KSA....

To let yoy know the proper destruction of the Holy book, Al-Quran is burning alone. NOT throwing the Holy book in trash, garbage, etc and burning everything.

The proper way to treat a killed enemy combatant is to respectfully bury him or put him in a coffin and send him to the country of origin. It is NOT to drag their dead bodies through the streets, spit at them, beat them, hang them from a tree, cut body parts and burn them.

At least our soldiers tried to do the right thing.
