30. This isn't a simple "book-burning"

Edited on Wed Sep-08-10 10:30 PM by Canuckistanian

It's someone who's announced, in advance, that he'll burn the actual words of Allah, just to make some point.

Do you remember the riots when a rumor started that some guard at Guantanamo threw a Koran in the toilet? I sure do:

Seventeen people died because of that.

This will be worse.
