The book Keith inserted the sneaker in was a non-religious book. However, the followers of the 'religion of peace' are not so peaceful when it came to 2 incidents about the koran. One was in the US where a partly burnt koran was left abandoned with some other books in front of a mosque. The islamic organizations went into an overdrive trying to draw political mileage from this act eventhough it was a muslim student who actually left that there. http://www.vdare.com/malkin/050705_muslim.htm A few months back, a few churches were burnt down by rioting muslims over the "alleged rumor" that christians burnt a koran. This turned out to be false. The rumormonger in this case was a muslim who had some dispute with a christian. How convenient, eh? Just uttering the word 'koran', burn, descreation is enough to turn up the fuses of these muslims. Wish there were two such words that would outrage us and show these muslims their right place. <em><strong>Atanu's response:</strong> Poking fun at the RoP is no laughing matter, as some Danes have most recently realized. No, I would not poke fun at it. I take it most seriously, which is more than what I can say about others who don't take it seriously. You may have noticed that I say it like I see it. I am not your average pseudo-secular Indian. I see the cultural imprinting of the value of learning and the derivative respect for books to be a distinct advantage of India. </em> It is a subtle way of poking fun at the “religion of peace”.
