Koran Burning
Cant find an online link but just watching Midlands Today news.
Its reporting that a man has been arrested on suspicion of hate crime after posting a vid to Facebook of himself burning a copy of the Koran.
But why don't we hear of muslims getting arrested for burning copies of The Satanic Verses, or burning poppies or burning UK flags?
Arnt these hate crimes too?
Ive had many muslim aquantences over the years and havnt got a bad word to say about any of them, but this one sided policing isn't doing anything to help race relations.

Dear, dear. "Likely", eh?
All the Weimar Republic hate speech laws and censorship didn't stop Hitler coming to power.
And weren't those laws useful once he'd acquired it?
AH in the Reichstag to somebody miffed by the Nazis'suspension of certain "civil liberties":
"Late you come, but yet you come.".
Another Schiller quote.

I don't think you can classify PP. He is obviously highly intelligent and well-educated - but with a very individual (and confusing) mode of expression. I rather enjoy trying to follow his posts.
Re: OP. Driving home from school one day I passed a playground in Manningham, Bradford (where I played as a tot). It was frightening. A huge crowd of muslim men in robes shouting around a blazing bonfire onto which they were hurling copies of 'The satanic
verses'. I was held up in the middle of the crowd. I think it was then that I realised the intolerance. No action, legal or otherwise was taken.

naomi I said the 'Satanic verses ' were not part of Quran.
I agree that Allah dictated them via Gabriel rather than 'one to one' as it were.
What I have never seen an answer to is my question that if on one occasion Satan was able to impersonate Allah and dictate the 'Satanic Verses' how can we be sure it did not happen more than once?
