You could do one of those 'Yo Dawg' memes with a picture of Mo burning a Koran which you could then print and burn.
That would help.

John Cleese should do one last decent thing in his career and get the remaining Pythons back together to make 'The Life of Mohammed'.  "Americans they go the house"?

It would explain the weird way it posted though

That would help. Assuming someone, for the sake of argument, similar to me and bored had just made one...how banned would they get for posting it?

Just out of idle curiosity; considering that there must be hundreds of Korans being printed every day, how ARE you allowed to get rid of one that's, for instance, falling to pieces? These people aren't honestly saying that no copy has/should ever be destroyed surely? We'd be chest-deep in them by now.

They can be burned so long as the askes are disposed of in running water (river, sea etc), weighted down and dumped in running water or burying it.

Nom de ploom said: thankyou.
i didn't know writing in the Koran was forbidden but it makes sense that you shouldn't deface a holy text. Makes no sense whatsoever, as it's just text at the end of the day. What is to be held in higher regard, the means of communicating the idea or the idea itself? The book (any book) is just the medium of communication. Burning Principia or Origin of the Species doesn't damage the ideas expressed within them. When you have real people dying as a result of offence taken over perceived insults against at best quasi-real people, the world has gone stark raving mad. I have a lovely book on the Egyptian bestiary at home and I'd be deeply upset if someone burnt it, but I wouldn't raise a mob and start killing people in the name of Osiris. Where do you stop? Is eating a Mars Bar offensive to Romans? It's bonkers.
