Some individuals in Afghanistan protested the Quran burning day by burning an American flag and chanting “Death to the Christians” last Thursday. People in the United States were quick to condemn these individuals and used it as another example to declare that Islam is a violent religion and Muslims are far from being peaceful. Isn't this just a self-fulfilling prophecy? You declare that Islam is violent then act in a manner which provokes the Muslims, and then when they do react, you say “See, I told you” confirming your original viewpoint.

Your thoughts and WHY?

I acknowledge there are less aggressive ways of protesting but you can’t really expect one to quietly stand there when you declare his religion is “of the devil” and then burn his Holy Book in front of him. Get real.
