Muslims Burn Bibles Routinely and Often By Bernie on 08 Sep 2010 plancksconstant.org Garden of PraiseIf I saw a bear in the woods, I would want it to cuddle me and lick my face; however if I went over to the bear and began cuddling and licking its face, I doubt that the bear would respond in kind. How come the Golden Rule won't work here? You remember the Golden Rule? From Matthew 7:12: "So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets." I know what you are thinking: "Bernie, you idiot, the Golden Rule is not meant to be applied to savage animals. Being nicey-nice to bears will not get you any reciprocity." In response to my article Burning the Quran is a Good Thing, reader ghoppe from Canada left this suggestion: "I support the separation of Church and Hate. I think all so-called "Christians" who think this burning is a good idea should take a closer look at Matthew 7:12." Thanks for the suggestion bubbala, however it does not work for barbarians. And certainly it should never be applied against an enemy during war. Almost all Muslim countries forbid the building of new churches. We have permitted them to build thousands of new mosques here in the US; however that hasn't and won't change a damn thing over there. Almost all Muslim countries forbid Muslims from converting to another religion. Thousands of non-Muslims are allowed to convert to Islam here in the US; however that hasn't and won't change a damn thing over there. Christians and Jews are asked, "How would you like it if Muslims burned the Bible?" Well, here's the problem: we haven't burned any Qurans for hundreds of years. But in that same period Muslims have burned millions of bibles. They still do it every day. Do you, dear reader, recall reading any of the following headlines: •2005: Saudi Arabia Desecrates Hundreds of Bibles Annually 1 •2006: Muslim Students Urinate, Spit On Then Burn Bible 2 •2007: Christians in Gaza Fear for Their Lives as Muslims Burn Bibles and Destroy Crosses 3 •2008: Muslims burn Bible in Pakistan 4 The truth is, it happens every day somewhere in the world. Do you know why we don't hear of it here? Two reasons: 1.The Liberal Media does not like reporting anything critical of Islam (recall the cowardice of our newspapers in not publishing the Danish Cartoons) 2.If our newspapers had to print barbaric acts committed by Muslims on a daily basis there would be no room to print the local news. For centuries the US has been nicey-nice to these vicious animals. When is the Golden Rule going to kick in? When are we going to get treated as we have treated them? Muslims don't burn Bibles? That's funny. That's just another Muslim myth. By the way, there is a variation of the Golden Rule in Islam: Mohammad in his Farewell Sermon said, "Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you." Real original thinker, that guy. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a related matter, the real irony is that on 9/11 the Islamic Center of Northeast Florida will be distributing free Qurans as a way to educate others about their religion. You may know that doing the same with bibles in almost all Muslim countries will get you arrested, tortured, or killed. But you've got to hand it to Muslims, they do have a sense of humor. Giving out Qurans on 9/11 is like Nazis including a copy of Mein Kampf with the towel to Jews as they go to take a shower. Muslims are so funny.
