I was interested to hear the fuss caused by the miss handling of the Koran in the US concentration camps in Cuba.
Apparently It's possible to offend some Muslims by mistreating a book. Now a book is just a collection of marks on paper, and has no meaning when it is not being read.
The assuming these people to members of the Taliban it seems that the Koran has to be treated with ridiculous respect but destroying a unique ancient Buddhist monument and murdering other (Sheit) Muslims is OK.
My question is how much tolerance should we have for intolerant people intent on forcing every body to adopt their religious views.
