  Burning Qurans will not bring world peace but instead create hatred in Muslims and threatening the safety of those Christians in the Mideast.

  I find Christians love to burn especially things belong to other religions. See the video below. Korean Christians burn Buddhist temple. So, Christians, don't criticize Taoists who burn incense papers and joss sticks. What you guys burn are worse than burning incense papers and joss sticks.

  I'm from the US.

  Do I think burning qurans is a good idea? No.

  Do I think it will do anything to foster better relationships within religions? No.

  Do I support Terry Jones' right to burn them...YES.

  I don't want him to burn any Qurans, but the United States has a constitution which gives us many basic rights, many of which are due to Americans giving their lives or fighting for them. The first amendment is a guarantee of free speech and assembly, and that's where this falls under. We also have the 10th amendment, which limits the Federal Government's power...so even if Obama doesn't want it to happen, he can't stop it.

  Many years ago there was a big debate in my country about burning the flag. You cannot burn your flag in Singapore, but you can burn the American flag in the US. Many people were outraged and fought to ban burning the flag as it desecrated everything the flag stood for and disrespected the many men and women who gave their lives for it. In the end, people are allowed to burn the flag. The same thing goes with the religious groups who protest funerals of dead soldiers or gays with signs like "God Hates Fags" and "Thank God for Dead Soldiers." If we don't ensure constitutional rights are given to every American, regardless of what we think of them, then eventually no one would have them.

  Angelina Jolie condemns planned Quran burning

  ISLAMABAD – Angelina Jolie on Wednesday condemned a Florida church's threat to burn copies of the Muslim holy book to mark the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

  The 35-year-old actress spoke out against the proposed burning during a trip to Pakistan to raise awareness about the floods that have devastated the largely Muslim country over the last six weeks. She visited in her capacity as a goodwill ambassador for the U.N.'s refugee agency.

  Jolie's criticism echoed that of top U.S. officials, who have described the church's plan as a disgraceful act and have even warned that it could endanger U.S. troops in Afghanistan and Americans worldwide.

  "I have hardly the words that somebody would do that to somebody's religious book," Jolie told reporters in Islamabad after visiting refugees camps in northwestern Pakistan _ one of the areas of the country hit hardest by the floods.

  The Christian minister organizing the Quran burning, Pastor Terry Jones, has said he plans to go ahead in spite of concerns. He is part of the Dove World Outreach Center, a tiny, evangelical Christian church in Gainesville, Florida, with an anti-Islam philosophy.

  The issue has not gotten much attention in Pakistan, where officials and residents have been trying to cope with the devastation caused by floods that first hit the country at the end of July following extremely heavy monsoon rains. The floodwaters have killed more than 1,700 people and have affected over 18 million others.

  "I was shocked especially by how high the floodwaters went," said Jolie, who wore a long dress and covered her hair with a black scarf in keeping with local Muslim custom. "In some of the people's houses, it was nine feet (three meters) high."

  U.N. officials have expressed hope that Jolie's visit would help spark the fundraising campaign to help Pakistan, which has stalled in recent days. The U.N. issued an appeal for $460 million in emergency funds on Aug. 11, but only $294 million, or 64 percent, has been received so far even though it is one of the worst natural disasters in recent years.

  "There's lots of speculation about why this one has not gotten the attention it deserves," Jolie said. "Even all of the wonderful coverage ... is not getting the response that usually it's able to get."

  Burning Quran does not address the issue , it will only worsen the hatred.

  They burn Quran for what?

  The extremists are not religious people. They are just making use of the Islam name to do bad things and to influence less educated Muslims to join them.

  The extremists probably don't mind and don't care how many is burnt.  They are too busy building more bombs.

  Now it is the extremists who call themselves christians! they are just making use of the name of Christ to do things to enhance their popularity and increaseing their church membership.

  They don't care how many are hurt.

  Making themselves popular is extremist.  haha.  Cute.  Funny.  Nevermind.  :D

  actually every religion and atheist can be extremist.

  from dictionary:

  A person who holds extreme views

  

   Anyway, the Christian Fundamentalists should learn to channel their energy doing something useful to the society.

  I'm not a Christian, but when's the last time a Christian blew themselves up or detonated a car-bomb outside of a charity while women and children were in line seeking aid? When's the last time a Christian killed ("honor" killing) a female in his family because she was flirting with a boy? When's the last time a woman was stoned to death by a group of Christians. I'm not saying some of these things didn't happen centuries ago, but let's not go wild and act like a self-proclaimed Christian burning a book of paper with words on it, and the animals that do the things I said above in the name of Allah are one in the same.

  I'll make a deal with you. Get rid of the archaic and misogynist Sharia law and Jihad and I'll go to Florida and beg this guy to stop burning the Quran myself. Deal?

  what have those who made use of the islam name....and those who don't mind and don't care....got to do with the burning of quran? do the existence of these people justify the burning of quran?

  Is burning of quran or the Bible an act of "fanantic behaviour"?

  actually why do you think they want to burn the quran?

  there are extremists in every religion or ideology...but why do you call them fundamentalist? is burning a religious book a fundamental teaching in the Bible?
