These guys think that because the Bible was "written by man" while Muslims
believe the Koran was written by allah that therefore burning the koran is
more offensive. Fact is, Christians believe the Bible to be the inspired,
infallible word of God. Even though humans used pen & paper (or dye & stone
& parchment, etc) to write down the word of God, it is still the Word of
God. The Koran, likewise, was written by a human and Christians do NOT
believe that this human (Muhammad) or humans (anybody who assisted
Muhammad) who wrote the Koran were inspired by a true deity. Its like a man
using a secretary to write for him. He's not doing the writing but he's
telling the secretary what to write. Whose words are they ? The man, of
course, who is telling the story. The difference between Koran and Bible is
that Christians do NOT believe the Koran to be truly inspired by a true God,
and Muslims believe likewise about the Bible. Burning either is equally
offensive to Christians or Muslims, respectively. However, Christians may
find it offensive but will not, by & large, respond violently because of it,
while some Muslims, apparently will. http://nation.foxnews.com/culture/2011/04/04/nbc-news-burning-koran-worse-bur...
