Where was the catholic outrage? Catholic riots? Murders?
What was the response of CAIR, or other activist muslim groups? Did they call for muslims to not be disrespectful of other faiths?

In 2007, Hessischer Rundfunk, a regional sub-section of Germany's state-run first television program ARD, broadcasted a film on in which a bible was burned, meant to make an artists's pointy comment on how wicked and evil the bible is. There was some lame formal protest by the church, it is written. People refused to show much interest for it, it is written. In fact I have read about the event just today. So there hardly could have been a national controversy having going on in 2007 - i would have noticed it.
I also remember that there were several incidents over the past 10-15 in which Jesus-statues got burned or mutilated. And displaying such acts on TV and in cinema, is common practice nowadays anyway.
About this Quran burning, the Westerners themselves were close to go crazy, too, stupid enough some comments in the media surely have been, really. But the uproar when Christian villagers and civilians get slaughtered by the thousands in Nigeria or by the hundreds of thousands in Darfhur by Islamic freedom-missionaries, is remarkably quite. And the reaction of the Vatican when another oh its priests or nuns got stabbed, is anything but impressive in choice of words, and determination. They do not want to raise harsh sentiments by Islam, you know. :haha:
A drunk babbling nonsense is not a already a philosophers just because you cannot understand him, and maybe a moderate temper and a selective perception are not really one and the same as well. |
