A Pile of Qurans
a pile of qu’rans
how many bozos at Bagram
does it take to burn a pile of qu’rans?
is it more or less than the amount of
soldiers that it took to kill off nearly
9,000 Afghan civilians & 20 journalists
since 2001?
just how many supposed “holy books” were in that
pyre, and how many people will die now as a result of
more religious bull*****
thumping & thumping relentlessly
through the world?
how many fanatics did it take to issue a fatwa on an author
writing a book?
were more people killed as a result of the witch hunt on Mr. Rushdie,
than there were qu’rans burned at Bagram?
how about Mr. Van Gogh?
would he still be alive today & not stabbed to death in the street years ago,
had he not expressed his concern for the disgusting treatment of women in
Islam?
does the killing of a human being in the street for making a film weigh heavier than the
burning of a pile of “holy books?”
if you total up the death threats against those that continue to speak out against the faith,
as Ayaan Hirsi Ali has done, will you come close to number of qu’rans burned at Bagram?
hmmm…
are these really difficult questions to answer?
