The Quran is a religious text for the Muslims. It is considered holy and a book that was sent by God to his people through the Prophet Muhammad. The book consists of religious teachings for Muslims and explains in depth the expectations of God for his people. Through the Quran, Allah sends his message to Muslims. The Islamic religions such as the Sheikhs and the Imams use the book in the mosque while teaching Muslims. The book forms a fundamental pillar of the practices that Muslims undergo.
Why would one think of burning the Quran or any other religious text that is considered holy? Surely, even if Christianity, Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism or Islam are not a part of your belief system, it would be more than uncivilized to just sit and plot the burning of such a book. Even if you feel that what others worship is not right, the worst thing you can do is to take what they consider holy and burn it. Did Jesus burn the bible or the Quran? What of the prophet Muhammad, did he hate the Christians? Surely, Jesus did not burn the Quran, and neither did the Prophet Muhammad harbor hatred for other people and religious leaders.
As a Christian, Buddhist, Hindi or a Jew, why would you burn a religious book? Remember, it is only those who are insane – the crazy people – who would take such a barbaric action as burning the Quran. The best thing you can do, if you do not think Islam is up to your taste, is to refrain. Being loving, and showing concern for other religions or appreciating those with whom you do not share the same background, religious ideology, or political views is the best thing to do. It is high time people should learn to appreciate the diversity of the people of the world. Tolerate other religions, praise their cultural practices and do not be a bigot.
Governments that do not support religious interference have found a number of people who are guilty of the mere planning of burning the Quran. Those who have taken part in such activities have earned a good ticket to jail. Some have been sentenced for life. You do not want to fall victim to this fate. A lady in America, and in another instance in Pakistan, just but to mention a few, will serve a term in jail, just because they wanted to burn the Quran. How can you burn a book that advocates for holiness, service, and worship to God in truth and honesty?
Why would you burn the Quran when it gives guidance to humanity on how we can live in harmony with others? The same Quran that you plan to burn is the book that teaches people to act in compassionate ways. The Islamic religion is one of the foremost religions that teaches people how they can take care of the needy in society. The widows, the poor, the homeless, the hungry, the children, the sick, and every other person who falls into this category: The Quran insists that they should be assisted.
