Brit arrested, Frenchman faces trial for burning Koran

Sharia is spreading around the world at a rapid pace. Islamic governments ban and burn Bibles, as does the U.S. military, while Muslims burn humans and kill innocent bystanders, and the world yawns. Such behavior by Muslims is not only tolerated, it is expected.

Frenchman on trial for burning and urinating on Quran

STRASBOURG – A FRENCHMAN was due to go on trial on Monday for inciting racial hatred after posting an Internet video of himself burning a Quran and then urinating on it ‘in the name of freedom.’

He was arrested last October after posting the video of himself wearing a devil mask and tearing pages from the Islamic holy book before setting it on fire and – after several minutes – urinating on it to extinguish the flames.

Police made the arrest after local Muslim leaders in Strasbourg reacted with outrage at the video which identifies the maker as a 30-year-old from a suburb of the eastern city.

The director of Strasbourg’s main mosque, Abdelaziz Choukri, said he alerted authorities and had spoken to the author of the video who told him he acted ‘in the name of freedom.’

The burning of a copy of the Quran by a pastor in the United States last month has sparked protests across Afghanistan that killed at least 24 people, including seven UN staff. — AFP

British Arrest Koran-Burning Political Candidate

Police say they are continuing their investigating of Sion Owens, a high-ranking member of the far-right British National Party, over a video clip showing he burned a Koran, the Guardian reported.

Authorities dropped initial charges against him under Britain’s Public Order Act over the weekend on a technicality.

A video clip of Owens, 41, soaking the Muslim holy book in kerosene and setting it alight was leaked to Britain’s left-leaning Observer newspaper. A British government spokesman described burning the Koran as “fundamentally offensive to the values of our pluralist and tolerant society.”

Owens appeared in court in Swansea, South Wales, this morning. He is standing for a seat on the Welsh Assembly in elections May 5. In a 2008 local election Owens’ campaign literature described him as standing against “mass immigration, enforced multiculturism, political correctness.”

If Muslims and the useful idiots who promote Islam and sharia law in the U.S. have their way, it will be illegal in the U.S. to burn one book and one book only – the Koran. Don’t sit idly by and allow that to happen.
