The outcry would be deafening if a non-Muslim used the koran to smuggle drugs and it would go on and on!!!.

I think it boils down to which of these stories get widespread reporting: the Christian-Koran corrupting, or the Muslim-Koran corrupting?

I thought Sam was the worst in posting such stories…until you came along Jakasaki…

What’s the point of this topic? I really don’t get it

It seems to me that this forum is becoming more like CARM forum.

I’ll answer…

do you know why Muslims don’t riot over this incident …very simple:

1- The public is assured that the perpetrators are facing punishment.
2- The main reason behind this is to smuggle drugs…

but the incidents involving non Muslims are different.

1- the public is angry that the perpetrators are not going to be punished.
2- the reason behind it is mostly to desecrate the Quran and upset and humiliate the Muslims.

Why should cartoonists be punished for depicting Muhammad in an unflattering manner?

Its only wrong if you draw a picture. Defacing a holy book is fine.

Or at least that’s what I’m getting.
