In state of Florida, people had meeting to burn Koran. What is Koran? Koran is bible in Islam. It is very holiness book in Islam. I don’t know why people in Florida tried to burn it. I heard that they burn it because of 9/11 terror which occurred 9 years ago. They seem to show their anger by burning Koran which is holiness bible of Islam. However, it was wrong. Why they have to revenge by burning Koran? In this situation, it caused more conflicts between Islam countries. In addition, U.S. sent military to Iraq and Afghanistan. If Muslim hears this news, they also become angry. As a result, common people who are working in Middle East will suffer trouble. Nobody want to conflict. However, people always cause and suffer conflict. Why they don’t try to understand each other? I know it is useless question. All of religions in the world teach love and peace. However, we don’t follow it. People always tried to follow teach of God but they always cause wrong things like conflict. This meeting is also one of them. Jesus also doesn’t want Christians have trouble with although their enemy is non-Christians. I also learned that Christian and Muslim were created from same root. How silly it is. I know that things which always bother peace are small of fools. Do people in Florida really want to become this kind of fools? I want that they look again their acting and think our future. It is my wish for our world.

Hello Youngwook,
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a very good question that you posed. I think that you are 100% correct by thinking that all of the fighting that we are doing is silly. I also do not know why the people in Florida would want to burn the Koran. There is no revenge in that. It would only make things a lot worse than it already is.
I agree with what you said about buring the Kora. People think that by buring the Koran will eventually alleviate the conflict; however, in fact it there are aggravating the situation.
ReplyDeleteI remember hearing and reading about this incident during the end of summer. What had happened was that someone proposed building a mosque a few blocks away from the twin towers, and a lot of American's didn't feel comfortable with it due to the 9/11 terrorist attack. As a result, there were lots of mobs in DC. These rallies influenced the pastor in Florida to join the movement by deciding to burn the Koran. This caused a LOT of controversy and people were very infuriated. It is one thing to be opposed of the building of a mosque, but it is another to disrespect a holy scripture, let alone disrespect another religion or person's beliefs!!
ReplyDeleteLuckily, this man did the right (and smart) thing to not burn the Koran. (He was part of a group and wanted to get all of the people in this small cult-like group to join in the Koran burning). In the end, there were a few people that still burned the Koran, but they did it with an outdoor grill because that was the only way to burn it without getting into trouble with the law. A sad attempt, but still a very rude thing to do nonetheless.
