QUR’AN burning has become a symbol of intolerance and “Islamophobia”, especially in some Western countries. They have also ripped and spat on copies of the Quran and dragged it around on a leash like a dog before burning. It commands believers: “Do not insult those they call upon besides God, lest they insult God out of hostility and ignorance” (6:108); and to declare, “… we make no distinction between any of them [God’s messengers]” (2:136, 2: 285, 3:84, 4:152). A book for ponderingThe Qur’an says, “There are messages indeed for people who think!” (13:3; repeated 20 times). Therefore, burning the Qur’an is a foolish act.
