GHOSH: The thing to keep in mind that's very important here is that the Koran to Muslims, it is not — it is not the same as the Bible to Christians.

The Bible is a book written by men. It is acknowledged by Christians that it is written by men. It's the story of Jesus.

TODD: Yes.

GHOSH: But the Koran, if you are a believer, if you're a Muslim, the Koran is directly the word of God, not written by man. It is transcribed, is directly the word of God.

That makes it sacred in a way that it's hard to understand if you’re not Muslim. So the act of burning a Koran is much more — potentially much, much more inflammatory than –

TODD: Directly attacking — directly attacking God.

GHOSH: — than if you were to burn a — burn a Bible.

Last I heard 'The Bible' has always been synonymous with 'The Word of God.' When did that change?

Rush hit this story pretty hard today. He said that none if these idiots on MSNBC must have ever gone to Sunday School.

 

He also nailed it with the statement that Muslims burn a lot of Korans themselves when the blow each other up at rival mosques... and they seem to be OK with that.

Apologist Aparisim “Bobby” Ghosh and his relationship with Time Magazine shows why Time is only read as a last resort waiting for a tire rotation or a root canal.

Sadly... not many people are willing to take the time to read "Time".

 

You never see a Time magazine these days... except for a few doctor's waiting rooms where most welfare patients don't even know how to read.

Terry Jones much like his friends at the Westboro Baptist Church get entirely too much press when they pull these kind of stunts.

Ouch.

 

Two points:

 

Muslims kill muslims every day.....and destroy their Quran in the process....this article points to the latest.

 

The Islamic defense that the Bible was merely the word of God that men thought He wanted written down & therefor is not a Holy book like the Quran; is a complete fabrication. The Quran was the word of Allah, as given to the angel Gabriel, to give to Muhammad........who recited & made his "sahabas" learn by heart [because most could not read or write & needed to learn those things from prisoners of war & slaves]......and was not written in book form while Muhammad lived. After the first caliph ordered the oral recitations to be written down, it was again edited & changed to a different translation by succeeding generations of muslims, including one of Muhammad's wives.

 

So, apparently it wasn't exactly straight from Allah, either. [see below]

Taliban Militants Bomb Muslim Shrine in Pakistan, Kill 42

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – Taliban militants carried out a double suicide bombing outside the shrine of the 13th century Muslim Sufi saint Ahmed Sultan, popularly known as Sakhi Sarwar, in Dera Ghazi Khan district, in Pakistan’s Punjab province, killing 42 people and injuring more than 70 on Sunday.

 

Hundreds of Muslims had gathered at the shrine for a ceremony when the attacks took place.

 

“We have recovered 41 bodies so far,” police officer Zahid Hussain said, adding that more than 70 people were wounded. “Both were suicide attackers, they came on foot and blew themselves up when police on duty stopped them.”

 

 

He said two of the attackers’ accomplices were arrested by rescue officials and law enforcement agencies as they tried to detonate their explosive vests. They were handed over to investigation agencies, which moved them to an undisclosed location for interrogation.

 

Hussain said the detainees included a suspected suicide bomber identified as Fida Hussain, a 15- to 16-year-old Afghan refugee from Pakistan’s tribal area, he said.

 

“These were suicide bombings and we arrested an attacker who could not completely detonate the explosives on his body. He was wounded,” he said.

 

A private TV channel quoted Fida as saying that he had failed this time but would carry out a similar attack whenever he got the chance.

 

 

A police official, requesting anonymity, said the shrine had received threats from militants. Sufis, practitioners of the mystical, esoteric dimension of Islam, have increasingly been the target of bloody attacks by Islamist militants in Pakistan.

 

Taliban militants, who follow an austere interpretation of Sunni Islam, condemn other interpretations of Islam as heretical and have also launched repeated attacks on the country's Shia and Christian minorities.

 

Two suicide bombers blew themselves up among crowds of worshippers at Pakistan's most popular Sufi site, the Data Darbar shrine in the eastern city of Lahore, in July last year, killing 42 people.

 

On Oct. 7, two suicide bombers blew themselves up at a Sufi shrine of Abdullah Shah Ghazi in Karachi, killing nine worshippers, including two children.

 

Also in October, a bomb blast outside the country's second most popular Sufi shrine, dedicated to the 12th century saint Baba Farid, also known as Ganjshakar, in the Punjab town of Pakpattan killed four people.

 

Nearly 4,200 people have been killed in suicide attacks and bomb explosions, blamed on homegrown Taliban and other Islamist extremist networks, since government troops stormed a radical mosque, called the Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) in Islamabad in July 2007.

 

 

The Taliban claimed responsibility for the twin suicide attacks.

 

“Our men carried out these attacks and we will carry out more in retaliation for government operations against our people in the northwest,” Ehsanullah Ehsan, a Taliban spokesman, said by telephone from an undisclosed location.

 

Ehsan is the same person who claimed responsibility for the killing of Pakistan Minister for Minorities Shahbaz Bhatti, a Christian who was assassinated for seeking a review of the country’s controversial blasphemy laws.

 

The Taliban had also accused Bhatti and Punjab governor Salmaan Taseer of supporting Asia Bibi (also known as Asia Noreen), a Christian woman sentenced to death on blasphemy charges, and had announced bounty on their heads. Taseer was gunned down by one of his own security guard in Islamabad in January while Bhatti was murdered two months later.

 

 

 

 

From the Wiki:

 

The Qur’an (English pronunciation: /kɒˈrɑːn/ kor-AHN; Arabic: القرآن‎ al-qur’ān, IPA: [qurˈʔaːn], literally “the recitation”) is the religious text of Islam,[1] also sometimes transliterated as Quran, Kuran, Koran, Qur’ān, Coran or al-Qur’ān. It is widely regarded as the finest piece of literature in the Arabic language.[2][3][4] Muslims hold that the Qur’an is the verbal divine guidance and moral direction for mankind. Muslims also consider the original Arabic verbal text to be the final revelation of God[5][6][7][8]—the Final Testament.[9]

 

Muslims believe that the Qur’an was gradually revealed from Allah to Muhammad verbally through the angel Jibrīl (Gabriel) over a period of approximately twenty-three years, beginning in 610 CE, when he was forty, and concluding in 632 CE, the year of his death.[5][10][11] Followers of Islam further believe that the Qur’an was memorized, recited and written down by Muhammad's companions after every revelation dictated by Muhammad.
