Six British Men Arrested For Burning Korans

Multi autem ex his, qui fuerant curiosa sectati, conferentes libros combusserunt coram omnibus; et computaverunt pretia illorum et invenerunt argenti quinquaginta milia. (Acts 19:19)

MSN News reports six people have been arrested on suspicion of inciting racial hatred after a recording of what appeared to be Korans being burned appeared on the internet.

"The arrests followed the burning of what are believed to have been two Korans in Gateshead on September 11", the Police spokesman said.

In a video accessible on YouTube, six young men in hooded tops or wearing scarves over their faces can be seen pouring petrol on a Koran and setting it alight, before burning another.

Northumbria Police said the men were not arrested for watching or distributing the video, but on suspicion of burning the Koran.

I can agree it is not very diplomatic to burn the Koran.

But it is not racist, and it is certainly not against the word of God, which is the Bible.

We should not forget that the Bible not is a European invention, but an oriental revelation.

The light shines from the East to the West.

I am astonished some British policemen have succumbed to the propaganda of the supporters of the 9/11 attacks.

Racism is always wrong, and the Koran is a racist book.

Some British policemen should get a better education concerning what is racism and what is not.
