Hundreds of protesters stormed the Swedish embassy in Baghdad in the early hours of Thursday morning and set it on fire, a source familiar with the matter and a Reuters witness said, in a protest against the expected burning of a Koran in Sweden.

    Don’t bow your head to terrorists. But also don’t bow your head to Nazis.

      Am I to understand you’re calling those who burned the Qur’an Nazis? You’re too far gone to argue with in this case. Have you even read why they burned it? To incite a response. Which happened just as predicted.

      Not to mention how disingenuous it is to separate the terms terrorist and Nazi. They’re one and the same in the end.

        Burning books associated exclusively with certain ethnic groups is obviously Nazi behaviour.

        It has happened in the past with the Jews. History is just repeating itself. Terrorists and Nazis are the same shit.

        Labeling the Quran burning as a “social experiment” does not make it better. The people involved are not tolerant humanists, who work towards a better future. They simply want to spread their hate.

          Don’t put words in my mouth. Nowhere did you quote “social experiment” from, because I didn’t fucking say that. If this is how you argue then just leave.

            “Social experiment” was in response to the commenters that claimed that the Quran burning was simply an experiment to expose “the true nature of the religion of peace”.

            If you don’t share this view, then I am sorry for misrepresenting your opinion. “Social experiment” was not meant to be a quote.
