What Dr. Rev. Jones did by burning the koran, should have been done ever since koran became the holy book of Muslims. A book that explicitly encourages Muslims to hate, tax, enslave, maim and kill people who do not subscribe to believing their Allah or Mohammed is purely a book of hatred and a war manual. This book (koran) must have been banned a long, long time ago as it had caused so many genocides in so many countries and unfortunaltely is still continuing to do so right under the noses of civilised communities. Actually the U.N. itself must have proposed the ban and the non-muslim countries should have voted for it.

Look at the impunity with which the Taliban (read, Muslims) had destructed the Bamian Buddha which is a world heritage. The non-Muslim world did nothing but whimper. The Muslims are all the more encouraged in abusing other religions and their symbols and traditions due to our (non-muslim) civility and political correctness.

I think it is time we have to act and insist reciprocity on muslims to behave and allow freedom of religion and speech in the muslim majority countries like Saudi Arabia, Pakistan etc.
