If I download a copy of the Qu'ran from an Islamic site, read it, then delete it, is it the same as burning it?

Excellent question. It's the same if it gets hundreds of thousands or millions of people to throw a conniption fit. Now, most liberals will tell you that 'no, that's no big deal' UNTIL their true masters, the Muslims, go nuts. THEN liberals will come out with 'that was very childish. No one should delete files, especially of Holy Books. It's not the same as free speech and should be outlawed. ' which all really means "I let terrorists do my thinking for me". Now, the thing is, we ume that Muslims WOULDN'T get upset about this, but they get upset about all sorts of things, that, if we hadn't already seen them get upset about, we'd think that no one would get upset about it. But actually declare next week 'delete the Quran' week, and see what happens. You might be surprised.
