    Kids do stupid things. The school kicked them out. Everyone involved is satisfied that they've been punished. Case closed. They're kids. What else should be done? Should they be hanged?

    Being Australia, if it was white kids pissing on a copy of the Q'ran I think the same thing would have happened. We don't take religion so seriously that we want to kill each over it down here.

  • The pope can make a relatively non-inflammatory comment about Islam, and there is rioting in the streets in Muslim countries.

    Christians are constantly under attack. They are impuned, mocked, ridiculed, scoffed at (namely by "tolerant" leftists). I don't see the Religious Right taking it to the streets, rioting, and issuing death threats..

    "Christians are so abused" is getting really old now. I'm tired of the religious pity party.

    Making a mountain out of a molehill again. I don't really think you can compare the impact the pope has on people to this 13 year old kid! Just typical teenage behaviour.... His parents teach respect and tolerance, the school does as well in the way it acted, bringing home that what he did was unacceptable. Could you honestly say a catholic school would have expelled a kid for desecrating the Q'ran ? Coming to think of it... would they even HAVE a copy of the Q'ran in a catholic school? Don't think so.......

    Lighten up.

    well, it's easy to take things in stride when you know you're ruling the world. the christians can afford to smile condescendingly at those crazy muslims cos the christians hold all the positions of power in this world. it's why bill clinton and the dems took so much abuse when he was in power and why dubya takes so much abuse now. whoever is in charge and running the show has to accept that the people who have to submit to their control aren't going to be happy about it and will say and do some nasty things. on the flipside, such minorities tend to over-react to small things out of paranoia that at any minute they could basically be crushed under the heel of the majority. that's the way power imbalances work.

    Why would they? That would be in direct dispute with the whole forgive your enemies/turn the other cheek fantasy.

    there is very little difference between a kid pissing on a holy book and a religious school metophorically pissnig over other religions. i went to a catholic school (but am not a christian) so i have some experience. being told your religion is pointless is pretty much as bad if not worse than a holy book being pissed on. a book is only a book. but your belief is so much mroe deeper and important.

    No, you guys just start wars.....and didnt some evangelical preacher man say the cia should assasinate hugo chavez a few months ago??So much for not issuing death threats

    Yep, you're right, pissing on a bible certainly takes an amazing amount of intelligence and bravery...c'mon now.

    O wow what a statement. Bunch of little fucking douchebags.

    Im so sick of people making fun of christianity being this huge "religious freedom" movement. Dan Brown wrote a novel depicting jesus as not being divine...nobody even called for him to die. Now how about Salman Rushdie?

    I got an idea; want religious freedom? Dress up as Mohammed.

    actually there was a huge campaign against dan brown around the time the film of the da vinci code was going to be released. if memory serves me correctly they even tried to get it banned.

    there are bad people on both sides miller. generalisations on either side really do not help matters.

    also in in india due to a huge campaign by hardline christians, the government was forced to ban the new slayer album becuase apparently it would offend christians too much.

    I think you are way off my friend. muslim countries would be rioting and calling for the kids head.
  • Meh. I really fail to see how what this kid did merits attention from anyone other than his parents and school administrators.

    Agreed. In fact, I think I am now going to go take a piss on the Koran, Santa Clauses head, the Easter Bunny, and Britney Spears.............all at the same time. Trying to set a record for pissing on multiple fake things.
  • Religion is complete bullshit anyway I mean honestly what other ideas are simply accepted based on faith. If you say that your idea is based on faith everyone just accepts it because it is a religous belief but what gives religion any higher authority than any other idea?

    God. But he's not really for me either.

    Hmmm, another idea based on faith..............When you put yourself on the operating table, you're basing your idea that the surgery is going to go well completely on the faith that that person with the "Dr." in front of his name isn't drunk and has a proper education............That's assuming you have "faith" in the idea that we have a decent education process to offer that person about to cut you open. Everyone puts a certain amount of faith in things that they do not know to be true or untrue.
