Freedom of speech is about to become a relic of history in Sweden, and that should worry everyone in the rest of Europe and the United States as well, for we are not all that far behind. Two men are about to go on trial for the crime of burning the Qur’an.
There is more. Read the rest here.

People who are quick to condemn a person for hurting the feelings of mozlums in burning the book of demon filth, should think more. What if one morning the person calling the ‘burning’ foolish, stupid, wrong, etc. happens to find a copy of that book, or a page or two from that book which has been sprayed by a skunk?
Anyone should have the freedom to burn the book. The only time it should be a crime to burn it, is if the one burning has stolen the book from another and sets it on fire. Or if the burning sets other things ablaze and firemen must respond
The book mozlums worship has never saved a life. No one has ever benefited morally or spiritually or physically by reading and studying and then practicing or participating in what the book commands.
Years ago, a man shared his story about how he came to respect the Bible….a book which has been burned; and because of the book having been translated, the translator lost his life.
The man said he was a thief and had illegally entered a home. Before he could finish his burglary, the owner arrived. The thief hid under a bed. Soon the lady of the house lay down in that bed and began to read.
“Let the stealer, steal no more.” Those were the beginning words of the Scripture she woman chose to read.
The thief waited until the lady put down her Bible and dropped into sleep before crawling from under the bed. He said the last thing he ever stole was that Bible.
If someone took the Bible and burned it, there would be no rioting, killing, threats of death….or a trial. No trial.
And yet, here the Swedes are putting two men on trial for burning a book. A book of demon filth. What other book burning would result in someone being arrested and put on trial?
Freedom is being thrown away, snatched away from everyone by this action.
In another burning, a woman was setting her house on fire to cover her crimes
Sadly for her, she caught her on clothes on fire.
That is what the Swedes are doing by trying these two men for burning a book. They are setting themselves up to be put on trial and silenced.
James Lincoln says
I say, burn your own personal koran in an environmentally friendly way.

James, if I had one, which I won’t, I would burn it to ashes without anything else being harmed; and I would stay out of the smoke arising. Cheers.
OLD GUY says
How can burning your own property in a safe manner be a crime. People burn old books a magazines all the time. The Quran is paper no different than any other book.
