I read a news story today about some Afghan students rioting against the US for images seen in Newsweek that showed the Islamic Holy Book being flushed. The incident came from Gitmo where prisoners were being interrogated by using the Holy Book to antagonize. Fine, whatever.

The interesting part of the article was this... I quote.

"A coalition of hard-line Islamic parties in Pakistan said it will hold nationwide protests on Friday, the traditional day of prayer for Muslims."

Hard-line? A hard liner would devote themselves to their holy day, not a protest. Hmmm... Maybe this is what their religion is all about... hating westerners. I digress.

Then I think about someone burning the Bible. What reaction would I have?

I wouldn't. I can put it in perspective and forget about it. I sure as heck wouldn't give up a Christmas or Easter (let alone a Sunday) to protest over some silly holy book desecration.

Not me pal. I am secure in my spirituality.
