What is wrong with people? It's just a frackin' book!
A 15-year-old girl has been arrested on suspicion of inciting religious hatred after allegedly burning an English-language version of the Qur'an — and then posting video footage of the act on Facebook.
No. It is obscene to start jailing people for destroying their own books, simply because some oversensitive wackos think it is magical. Apparently, this girl burned it on school property, though — call her on creating a fire hazard. But not for contradicting someone's delusions.
And the kooks defending the arrest aren't helping their own cause.
Catherine Heseltine, chief executive officer of the Muslim public affairs committee, said burning the Qur'an was one of the most offensive acts to Muslims she could imagine.
Oh, really? Ms Heseltine's imagination is not very impressive.
How about digging up their grandfather's body, sawing off the top of the skull, and using it for a dog food bowl? Or how about walking up to their mother and pissing on their burqua?
Or hey, how about cruising over a Muslim country with a Predator drone and opening up on suspicious-looking crowds with Hellfire missiles? Would it be more offensive if the missiles had Bible verses painted on them?
It really diminishes the quality of their outrage when they have tantrums over such trivial and harmless offenses. Man, if I hadn't already buried my only copy of the Qur'an, I'd be taking it out back right now and setting it on fire.
