Unfortunately, he wasn't giving that option, therefore, keep the peace burn nothing, or, clear the world burn it all.

I reckon i'ts all media hype and is easily done.. some nutter in some small crappy part of this planet has decided to burn the Koran.. a few phone calls to the local press and we end up with this rubbish as international news..

agree mancie it is media hype, proving once again how idiotic the media is. it also puts lives in danger by sensationalizing this nobody.

Christianity: One Woman's lie about having an affair that got out of hand.

For once John and I are singing from the same hymn sheet on this one (which is very rare I know).

I will tell you about an dialogue I have been having for the last couple of weeks with some American 'christians', which shows just how insular and extreme some Americans are.
2 Weeks ago one of my American relatives posted a You Tube video on Facebook purporting to be about how in the UK there were mass protests because we had lost the right to bear arms. The video lasted about 5 mins and most of it was taken from the 2002 march for Liberty and Livelihood with interviews from marchers. What it failed to make clear was these people were not protesting about gun controls in the UK. I posted back to her telling her the truth both about the march and what the position on guns was here in the UK. I was then subjected to a tirade of abuse about my ignorance of what was happening in the UK and that we were virtually an Islamic state.

This was all from someone who has never visited England and advocates that it is everyone's god given right to own a gun and use it when they feel they need to protect themselves. She (and several of her friends who also joined in 'debate') are very extreme right wing Christians who would agree with burning of the Koran - unfortunately there are some very weird perversions of the Christian Church in the US - who don't appear to consider the consequences.
Extremism in all its forms is extremely worrying. I just hope that either this man is stopped or he bares the responsibility of his actions.

I hope you told your relatives that you were the councillor for Church, (founded 642 AD by St Oswald) and thus knew a hell of alot more about Christianity than they did (USA, founded 1776 by gun runners and tax dodgers).

I certainly did and I even give them a link to Accyweb and said if they really wanted to know what was happening in the UK it would be a good idea to join the site and find out what ordinary people thought. But sadly they thought they knew everything about our country from reading articles in the press (both US and UK) and watching You Tube videos.

Maybe , just maybe if all the bleating kow-towing present day politicians ,(National and Local ,in the UK/Europe and the US) had paid a bit more attention to their school history lessons we wouldn't be in the mess we now find ourselves ....... anyone remember the siege of Vienna ,(for me it was either Mrs Evan's or Mrs Harrisons History class at Gt, Harwood 'top' Council school), or a maybe a crap Hollywood movie called "El Cid" . The 'West' has been at war with Islam's on-slought for 600 years and each time the only way we have defeated and proteced our way of life/culture is through military force.
Re. the loony religious nut from Florida and the Koran book burning .....the guy is a nut, but where has there been any national outrage when the followers of 'Allah' burn the Union Jack or Old Glory on the streets of Islamabad / Kabul or even London , my view , its time to stop treating these people like naughty children with the modern methods of a time-out and go back to the old ways where a good smack worked wonders , and if a 'smack includes dropping a few bombs or chemicals on kids harvesting the opium crop in Afghanistan so be it , means less heroin on the streets of London or New York .

After Celerity Big Brother, they burned effigies of Jade Goody in India.

A short time later she was dead.

Perhaps this will be and end to religious conflict.

I presume Muslims won't be burning their books, so I wonder how many spare copies of the Qur'an there are in this Florida town?

Perhaps this nutter flogs books, as well as furniture, and has over ordered on some stock lines.

He might be some lone loon, but if he copies what the Nazis did, he'll put lives at risk.

Religions, sanctuaries for idiots.

Of course,as we all know this setting fire to things all started with Moses and his burning bush.
Bit ironic really,Right name,Wrong Bush.

They must be upset because they have 1st dibs on burning our bibles, flags, images etc.

The whole thing is just pathetic & they show how backward they are by getting so pent up about it.

All the more reason for not following suit, burning the Koran makes these peope no better than the Islamic Nuts

It gets worse, Obama has now become embroiled in it and has spoken on TV - OK, he said it was wrong, but all the more publicity for the nutter. Lived there for over 3 years and I experienced some of this type of rubbish at first hand.
