Indian Muslims burn U.S. flag over Koran report

[ckramer]

"America may be the superpower of the world but they have no right to insult our Koran," Imam Syed Mohammed Noor Barkati told about 300 people outside a mosque in central Calcutta.

The cleric asked protesters to tear two U.S. flags, stamp on them, and told a young boy to urinate on the flags before burning the pieces. They also tried to set fire to an effigy of President George W. Bush.

"They insulted our Koran, so this is how we insult America in public," said Barkati.

1. Would have been more effective...........

if they had burned a copy of the KJV. Burning the flag has little effect on most people in the US.

the "Left Behind" books.

4. I'll do a social experiment one day...

by going round lots of different countries and burning their flags in front of their parliament buildings or in their town squares. If I can be bothered.

5. Yeah, at least then there'd be some justification about Christian

persecution we keep hearing about from the religious hijackers.

I'd vote to bring the lions back for a reality show.
