Texas Skateboarder stops extremist from burning Qur'an

I can't say I agree with that skateboarder's method of just swooping in and stealing the book. I was hoping he had reasoned the ignorant bigot out of burning it. It was the extremist idiot's book and if he wants to burn it he can. America is all about freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and freedom of being an incredibly stupid xenophobic half-wit...its our fundamental right! Only reason, education, and enlightenment can bring about a better world and better future for mankind.

Everything I have to say about Jacob Isom and his misguided interference with free speech can be found in this thread: http://www.religiousforums.com/forum/general-debates/103892-dude-you-have-no-quran.html

I guess I thought it was a good thing to stop bigots, but, in a sense, I can see your point, personally, I think this was a better alternative, it doesn't infringe on peoples rights, and it helped bring people together (something the world needs more of).

In general I think book burning is destructive and ugly. However the US constitution protects the right to action and the one to express oneself in the way that one sees fit. So Jacob Isom was actually wrong to stop the person from burning the Qur'an.

it does not work like maths though. one person does it but all Americans are labelled the same by some of Muslims. that is not a good thing and noone else's right to do IMO. it is just sad to add hatred more and more. as a result not just people who does the act pays for it. we all do

well then that is simply being ignorant,obviously not all americans agree with it and any assumption of that is ridiculous. you can't live your life according to what other people might think and we can't start taking away freedoms because where does it stop? freedom of speech means speech you like and speech you don't like,this is america and that's the way it should be. i don't agree with burning books but it is their right to be able to do so,i actually enjoy reading the quran and i believe it is a shame to burn any book...not just the quran. but this is america and you cannot force people to stop exercising free speech,if you do it becomes a police state.

I don't know about any "moral high ground" here; but any rain that falls on these ignoramuses' parade, divine intervention in my book. ;)

Dude how could he? There is a shortage skateparks Afghanistan. It's hard to skateboard down a muddy road to stop a book burning.

Sure, but when you quote such hate posts, even when the staff deletes the original offending post, his words remain... on your post. See what I mean? BTW, I learned this lesson the hard way.

EDIT: You should still be able to edit your post, BTW.
