Here’s some light reading to help relieve your radical islamic terrorism inspired anger. I picked this quote (below) because he says something that goes beyond the simple “thumbing the nose at the koran” that is Team Infidel’s claim to fame. Very clearly put… regardless of your religion, to elevate the printed word of your religion to the level of “god” is idolotry.

The AnarchAngel: Why did I do it?

I have no regrets about destroying the Koran. Their religion tells them to kill or enslave me, and I have no qualms about destroying their “holy” book. In fact I wont refer to it as desecrating, because that concedes that the printed word of a madman from 1400 years ago is somehow sacred.

I feel much the same about the Bible by the way. Interesting reading, some great teaching, more than a little insanity, but a bible isnt sacred; even if you believe the thoughts within it are. The bible is a book like any other.

In fact muslim reactions to koran “desecration” are themselves sacreligious, because islam specifically warns against idolatry and recommends iconoclasm.

But speaking of the bible, in most muslim countries it is a crime (sometimes punishible by death) to espouse christianity, or in some cases to even posess a bible. Muslims burn bibles, and flags, and hell they even burn American security contractors…

And still we play by their rules.

Plenty of fun reading at AnarchAngel’s website… don’t miss the http://anarchangel.blogspot.com/2005/06/team-infidel.html work of “Team Infidel”.
