Burning Koran in England results in arrest
Seems that British Police don't like freedom of expression. I don't care enough to agree or disagree with what these guys did, but arresting them? Now that's a police state. Thunderfoot proposed a thought experiment, burn Principia, burn the bible, people would give you disapproving looks, but burn the koran and it's the end to world peace. I wonder if the police would've responded the same way to the bible or principia?

Interesting. I believe that someone else posted a recent article about a koran being burned here in Michigan, but no arrests were made - much to the disappointment of Muslims. In America it is protected, like burning a bible or the American flag. I, too, wonder what the reaction would be to burning a bible or principia.
Sad that Muslims give a book so much respect, yet treat their women and children like trash.........although that is what their 'holy' book advocates. -

This ought to be an embarrassment to that police dept. What were they thinking?
