Bible Burning?


Have you ever noticed how the media frowns and jumps back in gasps of horror when a pastor, group leader of some kind, or even an ordinary person decides they will burn a Qur'an? There's almost a national outcry, and immediately, the person is called intolerant, they are a hater. However, why isn’t the same reaction given when people decide to burn Bibles? Why is it that the liberal media criminalizes Qur'an burning and turns their head when someone decides to burn the Holy Bible? Do they not know that this nation was founded and has its base on biblical principles? There are literally hundreds of videos on YouTube displaying people burning Bibles and in doing so, they verbally speak hatred of God and Christians.

Quite honestly, I think the liberal media is so bent on being accommodating and politically correct, they are willing to sacrifice some of our freedoms and liberties all for the sake of comfort. Appeasement, if you will. I will say this: appeasement has never worked and never will, in any case. If you give a mouse a cookie, he'll come back for milk. Giving in to appeasement is giving in to a type of terrorism. It won't work in the Middle East, it didn't work in Europe, and it will not work in America.

There cannot be a double standard! It’s either all okay to burn, or none of it is. You cannot preach hatred to the man who burns the Qur'an, and preach heroics to the man who burns the Bible through silence. Do the two men not have the same right in destroying the texts because of their beliefs? Why then is one viewed negatively and the other neutral? I condone neither act, and firmly believe Jesus is Lord and His Word is the Holy Bible. However, that doesn't give me the right of way or fuel to burn a Qur'an. You don't bring people in or win them over that way. You drive them out. Open your eyes and stand up for America. Pray for this great and mighty nation and its leaders. America.
