Afterthought: The Qur'an, aka the Koran

The Qur'an, aka the Koran

The Qur’an, the Koran, Islam’s holy book, has been much in the news of late in relation to everything from the Mideast, to the Monster Mosque, to Qur’an/Koran burnings by despicable Christians.

Those Christians shrug off Bible burnings and cross desecrations and murders of their fellow Christians by Islamists at the same time Islamists threaten to torch the universe over alleged disrespect for the holy Qur’an/Koran or the holy prophet, Muhammed, or Mohammed, or just plain Mo.

I guess that, like beauty, “holy” is in the mind of the beholder.

Mr. Andrew Beacham, a courageous American, defied Muslim threats against his First Amendment privileges by tearing pages from the Qur’an/Koran in front of the White House on the 9th anniversary of the Islamic attacks on America.

Beacham was selective in his burning in that he didn’t burn the Qur’an/Koran per se. That burning was the threat posed by Pastor Terry Jones of the First Church of the Gooey Death and Discount House of Worship who backed down after President Obama/AG Holder sent the FBI to “persuade” him, ala Tony Soprano, of the error of his ways.

Beacham chose relevant passages and pages from the Qur’an/Koran to conflagrate in the shadow of Barack Hussein Obama’s executive mansion. That selectivity could lead to allegations that the excerpts were taken out of context, except for the fact they weren’t.

In that same vein, I guess the Angel of Death, the Nazi Dr. Josef Mengele’s reports on his experimentations on Jews could be considered non-contextual.

The reader should judge for him or herself as to whether these Qur’an/Koran passages could be out of context. . .
