It is a good thing we dont judge an entire Religion , or country , by the words and actions of one man.

There is definitely an absurd amount of pious frauds that permeates throughout all these religions. It gives hypocrisy a bad name.

all the book burning stuff or the reactions to it is so silly. it is a book of words that can easily be replaced, i could understand more if books were still written from scratch and some monk somewhere had to write another 1,000 pages of religious text and was called back of holiday to do it because some idiot just burnt one and now he has to work another month writing with a feather in candlelight, and there are only 50 copies world wide then i could understand a little rage. Also it is not the book people believe in it is the religion and all the book does is share it with other people. I don't think alien believers would be outraged if somebody burned a copy of 'U.F.O's the best cases' nor would people who believe evolution is a fact get outraged if somebody burnt Darwin books.
people are pathetic and i never have understood the outrage to book burning or flag burning, just print more books and make more flags and tell them "so what we just made a thousand more and then stick your tongue out"

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people living life in peace
You, you may say
I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Yep that is really showing "respect".
Maybe we can test out the waters with the ME.

I admit I'm getting old, crabby, and impatient. So for those of you who think this thread still has nuggets of gold to be discovered by the posters herein, fine, please just ignore this. Otherwise, I think I'll try to deflect it a little.
I've seen a couple of approaches to the problem that I don't think have been mentioned here, and I wonder what you think.
Approach 1. Announce to the world that we are withdrawing all troops from the Mid-East. Also announce that if they mess with us, or any of our friends and allies, we will destroy their country. Not invade, or sanction, or depose, but destroy it. And if the survivors mess with us again, we will destroy them again.
Approach 2. Every day we broadcast a new insult to Islam. Leaflet their country if we have to. Day after day. Eventually they will do one of three things. Either detstroy their country from within with riots, start a war which they lose, or eventually become desensitized and start shrugging off the insults. At which time they will be offered a chance to join the modern world.
Just trying to shake things up a little.

I am a Christian, but I must not be a very good one.....Cause his actions don't offend me, and I don't have the urge to go kill Muslims and burn there Mosque.
I would like to think that, too, but I also think they'll need a nearly completely new government before that happens.
I would have to believe Iran has some form of dignity for their own people.

The guide stones do teach this, but so does the Bible and Koran, book of revalations etc.
True but the Bible doesnt teach it is by the hands of humanity, the guidestones teach that humanity? is to cull the masses.
Thats a little different
Nope, the bible says your loving god is going to kill BILLIONS.
That is better?
Actually thats not God doing that, it's a man doing that, the Son of Perdition (lawlessness). The war to end all wars begins between our ancient enemy and he starts slaughtering people by the millions who refuse to bow down to him (beheading). Then Yeshua shows up on Mt. of Olives to destroy him and his army at Armageddon (Megiddo) or Satan incarnate would burn the entire world and everyone in it. Our loving God comes to save whats left of mankind from extinction.
After that, EVERYONE DIES.
Just like that last time your god Killed everyone but one family and every animal and one magic olive tree.
Your god is a bloodthirsty prick

Muslim Cleric Shows Respect for Religion by Burning Christian Bible
If there are two things that Muslims do really well, it’s burning churches and synagogues and showing respect for religion. In Cairo, the appropriately named Abu Islam, decided to go for a twofer by doing both at the same time and burning the Christian Bible. Christians immediately responded by besieging Muslim embassies and demanding that someone be beheaded for this.
Hmm isn't that what they do to people to desecrate the Qu'ran?
Muslim cleric Abu Islam Burns the Holy Bible in front of thousands of Muslims at protest outside the US Embassy in Cairo, Egypt, on Tuesday, 9/11. His action was met with applause and anti-Christian cheers from the demonstrators. The cleric, before leaving the demonstration and getting into his car, told the crowds “next time I will urinate on it.

Yep that is really showing "respect".
So here we are with current events being all hyped up both in the East and West, and other events are flying under the radar.
The target of many people is a film maker and the mockery of Islam but then nothing but deafening silence from those people about the actions of their own.
Typical hypocrisy which is the point of the thread which is not about the denigration of Islam or Christianity it is about crying respect when they do not show it.
