Jones act made no sense from the view of a common man, all he got was more free publicity.. now he want to put Islam on trial. Whatever that means???

This dude and Westboro Baptist Church are nothing more than media whores for their warped agenda..

Why such low expectations for Muslims? Are they given free reign to be "provocative"?

Arab and Islamic Antisemitism

That's fine, have it your way. I don't have a problem with that.

My question remains.

Why would anyone deliberately want to be that spark?

Are poppies allowed to be considered "sacred" or "an important symbol"?

BBC News - Ex-soldier jailed for burning Koran in Carlisle

Quote:

A former soldier has been sentenced to 70 days in prison for setting fire to a copy of Muslim holy book the Koran in the centre of Carlisle.

Andrew Ryan had previously admitted religiously aggravated harassment and theft of a Koran from a library.

The 32-year-old, of Summerhill, said he had been "shocked" watching a Muslim burning a poppy on Remembrance Day.
...
While being handcuffed he shouted: "What about my country? What about burning poppies?"

Is there a list of inanimate objects that are entitled to legal protection published somewhere?

What was the punishment for technically, theft of the Koran or burning it? Nevertheless the judge emphasized the burning as premeditated and
"theatrical bigotry" of it so it seems if it was theft he's punished for technically, the thing that irked the judge was the burning of the Koran. it doesn't say but I do wonder if the judge thought the poppy burning had bigotry or hate involved?
