Koran Burned in Iran (video)

Washington Times {blech, I know!}
James S. Robbins
Published on April 11, 2011

Two anonymous young men in Iran, one Iranian and one Afghan, have burned a Koran in protest. This seven-and-a-half minute long video shows the two men, their faces obscured, holding the Muslim holy book and reading prepared statements. They say that Arabs have foisted this book and their homelands and because of it they have gone backwards for 1400 years. They say they dislike the Koran and want it to disappear, adding "Viva freedom!"

Afterwards they stand the Koran on a flat rock, douse it alcohol and light it. One of them hoots and laughs. The book burns fiercely, and after a few moments one of them sprays more alcohol into the flames. The video ends with them warming their hands over the blazing book.

2. While I appreciate the sentiment, I do not think that is Iran
Granted I don't really like book burnings - but I could sympathize with anyone in an Islamic State.

But that just doesn't look like Iran. Maybe I'm wrong - but it looks an awful lot like places in the US looks like. Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arkansas...

3. Interesting note that they
did not show their face. I guess they were concerned with the fact, someone might take offense in an extreme way. Seems, if you have to the courage do something like this, you should have your face right out there to show the world who you are, right?

6. Iranians who go to protests in the US are often don't want their faces on video
I've been to a number of anti-Amedinejad rallies, some where thousands of people show up, and nobody ever wants to go on camera. They're afraid that if they are identified the Iranian government might go after their family members back in Iran.

5. It's only a book....a book that riles idiots to hatred and lunacy.
I'm all for burning it...and burning the Bible, and burning any other book that incites these idiots to go crazy for coo coo puffs. World of morons. Only the lunatic Islamic clowns make the evangelicals look sane.
