Well it would seem that the orginization has acheived its goal.

Even if not a single book is burned it has A:Gotten a mention in mainstream media and B:Got you guys talking about it.

Mission accomplished.

People who burn books usually end up burning people sometime in the future.

Note that the OP article of course interviews CAIR, an organization that is in fact connected to terrorism, and the Islamic Brotherhood.

They should at the very least wait until the dead of winter when the poor are having a hard time keeping warm.

It is funny though, this church will have to spend money getting copies of the book just so they can burn it.
Book burners of this ilk are a publishers dream.

Reminds me of the protesters in Postal 2 chanting "Save a tree, burn a book!"

To be completely honest, while I don't condone what they are doing, it doesn't bother me all that much. Quite frankly its probably been a long time in coming, what with all the cherished symbols of the western world being regularly, and OPENLY burned by Muslims.
