Muslims, would this stop terrorist attacks from fundamentalists?

I've heard a theory out there which seems dubious but interesting, and i'm wondering whether or not this would deter terrorist attacks or attacks on military installations or vehicles.

Basically the idea of the theory was to place Qurans all over vehicles and building, so that way in order to attack something or blow someone up, the Islamic terrorist would be destroying hundreds of Qurans via burning, or bullets, or whatever. I mean even allegations that someone burned a Quran in the middle east could potentially get you stoned to death. Do you think this would deter attacks at the very least or would they just ignore the books and attack anyways? I seriously don't know because i've heard that Muslims take Quran destruction very seriously as one of the largest offenses and blasphemies possible.

Some are very primitive in this fanaticism.

Her death wasn't immediate. According to witnesses and footage of the attack uploaded online, a group of angry men beat the woman to death and then threw her body into a dry riverbed. Her body was set on fire as hundreds of people looked on, many of them chanting “Allahu akbar!” or God is great.

That article is exactly the reason i made this thread actually. So do you think these fundamentalists would shootdown an american plane if it had hundreds of Qur'ans in it? I mean it would be one of the biggest insults to Islam ever to cause the burning and destruction of that many holy books. It might actually be a great technique to damage morale. Each time terrorists decide to attack a target they destroy so many Qur'ans in the process that their own people would probably shun them.

I don't expect to be guessing fanaticism with any accuracy. Some probably would, it would not amaze me.

I doubt that it would make much difference to most of these extremists since many of their attacks are against Mosques of different sects. And, of course mosques will contain Qur'ans.

I sometimes wonder what those extremists would act like if military torture was allowed here.
Capture some terrorists and never let them die.
Video tape a few hours of footage and put "since you value your God enough to kill our people, we will not be allowing you to meet him" at the end or beginning.
Or both.

My post wasn't geared towards a specific topic, that's my bad.
The post was directed towards the extremists that act so brutally, yet childishly, whenever their religion gets talked down on.

That is not a question worth answering.

You are in essence asking whether dangerous fanatics may be deterred by presenting them a situation that, to them, is an aggravated form of shielding with hostages.

That can even work, but is ultimately counter-productive by necessity.

If they already did the unspeakable breaking of Quranic teachings, would they care about burning Qurans? They will just do it without a second thought and maybe come with excuses later. All they want to do is kill and Quran on front of them won't stop it.

war is brutal.

Sounds like an environment I'd be suitable for.
It's not even about the war. Take the cartoons for example.
They threw such a childish temper tantrum because other people didn't follow their rules.
Pathetic. I'd be ashamed to know such people believed the same thing as me.

Global war?
Maybe the health of the innocents and wronged within Islamic nations is a world issue.
I don't see it as a global war, and I can easily point you into the directions of countries who could end the war in a day or less.
The reason they don't is likely humanism, forced or found.

I would, innocents don't concern me.
Things that are detrimental to society, or our race as a whole, should be removed.

Eh. I guess.
Like I said, I don't care about this war.
It's extremely uninteresting compared to those of the past.

We all have a pretty good idea of how this is going to end.
That wasn't the case of the famous wars in the past,where it could go either way.
This war is boring and pointlessly long.
