    Yes it's wrong to burn the Quran. What would a Christian hope to accomplish by this? The only reason for doing it is political/popularity gain or to foster hatred (and Christians are called to love). Do I genuinely believe the Quran? No, but I condemn burning it (that's just stupid).

    I would like to note that burning an English language translation, while offensive, is nothing like burning an Arabic Quran. The Quran in Arabic is on par with the incarnation of Allah (almost). The burning of such a Quran is much more offensive than burning a Bible.

    Obviously as a Christian I see something wrong with burning a bible. Still, I think I'm actually more offended by the burning of a Quran than the burning of a Bible, especially since the Bible is just a symbol (the word of God proclaimed is important and that can't be so easily silenced).
