    No, I'm not Ted Haggard or some fundamentalist Christian and I don't hold a grudge against people who want to believe in Islam but separately I do believe in freedom of expression. That's why this video caught my attention;

    It's just a book, I'm expressing my laziness by not burning it

    As bad as burning Korans is... I read the title as Let's burn half a million Koreans... A good bit worse.

    I read 'Korans' as 'Koreans' and thought this thread was a whooole different thing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,595 ✭✭✭bonerm


    I might just burn a CD instead. Remember CD's?

    People are posting these comments really fast. Did they watch the whole video? It's more than 8 minutes long.

    You're really asking two questions there, I mean what really is a video? And what do they tell us about ourselves?

    I will be busy filling in my census form.

    It was koreans!! Epic spellfart. I was wondering where the hell we were gonna put all the ashes, then why the feck we were burning them. In that order. Which makes me worry that I might either be too easily led, or a bit evil.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 252 ✭✭10belowzero


    Is the koran , the korean national dish ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old

    Can't call them that either.

    That was the name of a sentient race in a Star Trek episode.

    They won't be happy about that.

    Which one would you prefer;
    Quran, Kuran, Koran, Qur’ān, Coran or al-Qur’ān?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,463 ✭✭✭Solnskaya


    Lets just burn half a million Koreans, they are fairly easily rounded up etc, plus it won't piss off our Muslim Brethren who would then launch a Fatwah on our asse5. You just don't wanna mess with a Fatwah, Thinwahs are bad enough, but the plump ones can do real damage.

    That's exactly what I tought the first time I read the 'burn a Koran' headline ,scary thing is I saw it a few more times and I still read it like burn a Korean!

    I can't burn one i need it for bog roll.





















    May or may not be joking.:P

    No good. All used as sentient races in either Star Trek, Star Wars or Zena Warrior Princess.

    Don't want to burn Koreans either. The ones form the south are nice, hard working people and you'll have a hard time rounding up 500,000 from North of the Border.

    What about burning half a million euro? That'll show em.

    You use Koreans for bog roll? :eek:

    Hmmm...bookburnings, historically a bit of an expression of fascism and intolerence.
    I like to express my freedom of expression by expressing things that are worth expressing and letting other people express themselves by, for example, writing and publishing and reading books that are important to them, without me interfering by, for example, burning them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,007 ✭✭✭sollar


    People shouldn't be afraid of these mad bearded fundamentalists. Burn on. I don't believe in mohamed or the koran so have no care for them.

    Sorry. Couldn't help going off topic.

    Guy that burns stupid book is a moron. Morons that get upset about it and kill people are immeasurably worse.

    Which came first the morons or the idiots?

    How can you take it seriously.
