Kinana, you address an important issue when you speak of Americans in regards to book burning or banning. I am staunchly opposed to both! By the same token, I am also staunchly opposed to child abuse and if I must choose one over the other I shall protect the child and burn the book. You, most any adult, or I, could read the Qur'an in its entirety and suffer nothing more severe than disgust and nausea. This cannot be said of children! The mind of a child is like a malleable ball of clay, and it…
Kinana, you address an important issue when you speak of Americans in regards to book burning or banning. I am staunchly opposed to both! By the same token, I am also staunchly opposed to child abuse and if I must choose one over the other I shall protect the child and burn the book. You, most any adult, or I, could read the Qur'an in its entirety and suffer nothing more severe than disgust and nausea. This cannot be said of children! The mind of a child is like a malleable ball of clay, and it can either be molded into a being of wisdom and compassion, or twisted into one driven only by hatred and an obsession with death.<br />

Were there some way to prevent a young person from ever reading those wretched passages of death and dismemberment, then I would say keep the Qur'an on the shelves of every book store in a section where entry by the young is forbidden. It will always be a historical text. It should be that, and no more! No person under military age should ever be exposed to the hideous teachings of this book, and there is no way that this can be guaranteed. Therefore, in spite of my opposition to book burning or banning, I must agree with Mister Geert Wilders on this issue.<br />

One thought for the members of the Dutch parliament, and for that matter, all of the political leaders of Europe: Millions of Americans own many millions of guns, and our progressive leaders are hoping to outlaw them One day they may even grow bold enough to try to take them away, but all of those millions of firearms have never done even one ten thousandth of one percent of the damage wrought by that book of death we call the Qur'an. Perhaps the leadership of Europe should re-examine their priorities. This position is often confus…tag:4freedoms.com,2010-03-19:3766518:Comment:195852010-03-19T08:53:50.000ZKinanahttp://4freedoms.com/profile/Kinana
This position is often confused by people, especially people in the USA. e.g that Geert Wilders is into banning books and wants to limit freedom of ideas and discussion. It should be noted that he is merely calling for consistentcy. The Dutch parliament has already banned Mein Kampf and yet they ignore something worse that is widely read and distributed in his country, the Quran.<br />
<br />
There are not many Nazis around to complain about the banning of Mein Kampf but banning the Quran would take more…

There are not many Nazis around to complain about the banning of Mein Kampf but banning the Quran would take more courage than the Dutch Parliament has at the moment. But that may change in the June elections in Holland.
