This is a serious question.

Why is the accidental destruction of copies of the Koran leading to murder and the desecration of graves?

Good question by cammywhite. If ten thousand copies of Bible is burnt across the globe, a single insect will not be killed let alone human being. If a page is tore
out of koran, a day old baby will not be spare. Islam is the opposite of peace.

people very well know that the muslims do not tolerate any irregularities towards their religion and holy book.so why should someone or group of people over-step their boundaries to provoke them.??

since we all know what a lion/lioness are capable of,why go to their PRIDE?? want to get eaten or want to eat them??or want to play with them??
BTW- Does the every occurent burning of some koran pages or toiling with their religion always be termed MISTAKE or ACCIDENTAL??appears more of like a deliberate and hostile intents most of the time if not all the time.

Having the utmost respect for each others religion will very well be okay for humanity sake to some considerable level at least.
Don't quite see how and why some people tend to chip in some of their religious doctrine  and make it a challenge against that of the muslim religion and further label theirs as better or perhaps superior.

There are well past over 1.8billion adherent muslims across the globe and i doubt if anyone or group can get rid of them.The shocking thing is,their numbers keep rising daily!!.

A lingering question for our mindset though,If certain pages of the koran hadn't been burnt,would it have sparked a rage of fury for them???just wondering anyway....

Given the knife-edge on which the Allied forces in Afghanistan are walking, the last thing they'd want is to create an issue that would be exploited by the mullahs, so there's no way that they'd deliberately burn a load of Korans.

I don't know where you got that idea came from. The Mohammed cartoons weren't accidents; that preacher in the US did that burning on purpose.

Is it one Qu'ran that was burnt? Was the burning accidental? You got it twisted.

Yes cammy am actually aware of that.I really didn't want to say people do it all the time on purpose that is why i used the term most...

furthermore cammy,remember the egregious behaviour displayed by the U.S forces that peed on some afghan dead bodies months back?,isn't it a deliberate act? or is just one of another hoax or media hype?i actually thought there is no way they would have done that on purpose since they claim to be civilised!!

[/quote Do not call it accidental Cammy, Newt Gingrich just confirmed this morning it was done on purpose to incite and disrespect the belief of others.An act of intimidation especially unto a cultural set of values usually draws a lot of ire.

Actually you're wrong there.

Quote
Newt Gingrich has come out in full force against the Obama administration’s apologies to the Muslim world for an incident involving NATO forces burning a Quran. Apologies have been issued by President Obama, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, other assorted members of the Obama administration, and U.S. commander John Allen, who is currently overseeing NATO forces in Afghanistan. Gingrich appeared on CNN today and told Piers Morgan that Afghanistan has its own apologies to make before the U.S. can reciprocate.

Quote
SPOKANE, Wash. -- GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich said Thursday a U.S. apology to Afghan authorities for burned Qurans on a military base was "astonishing" and undeserved.
Gingrich lashed out at President Barack Obama for the formal apology after copies of the Muslim holy book were found burned in a garbage pit on a U.S. air field earlier in the week

Very few among too many crimes of christians, I will tell you that they pogrom Jews uncountable times in History (Even though Jews were the ones who killed Jesus). They killed him and they said they are proud of it.

Can you watch this? It is funny!
