..but, how would Christians respond if people in the US openly and publicly desecrated bibles? My guess,.. it would not be pretty. It may not result in this level of violence but I have no doubt that if people openly destroyed/disrespected bibles it would be looked upon at the same level of people desecrating the flag, probably worse, and people have been beaten for "disrespecting" the flag.

I'm sure it'd be nowhere near as bad as in Muslim countries and with the Koran.

They've got the monopoly on fundamentalists.

This is why religion is pointless and a waste of time and lives but this is my opinion.

Burning books and flags is freedom of speech, and people should be protected from the unwashed mashes with pitchforks.
Also, in the article it doesn't say whether the victims really burned a Koran, only that a cleric told people that they had. Maybe they just wanted to get rid of the two Christians?
And whether people are offended is completely irrelevant in a country that has free speech. People say things that are offensive to me all the time but I don't go out to kill and burn people with the other knuckledraggers.

About the most serious sin a God fearing person can do is commit Idolatry, it is giving worship and hope for salvation to something other than God Almighty.

The Bible and Koran are books, lets presume they do in fact carry the message of God, but they are not God himself, just a load of paper.
Even Angels when appearing to man with a message from God would generally refuse to give their names out of fear of inciting idolatry and self worship from the recipient of the message.

Muslims are actually committing a great sin against Allah when they venerate an object so much, Christians are more wary of idolatry except for Catholics, if a Bible gets burned, so what, it doesn't burn God himself, just go out and buy another one.
