First off, I'd just like to ask you: How many Muslims have you met in your life, if any? Or is the only encounter with Muslims you have ever had been through news channels that show you coverage of misguided radical organizations that blow things up and call it Islam when it is not? How many Muslims have you talked to? How many times have you actually tried to understand the religion before deciding to burn its holy book?
Did you know that there is a verse in the Qur'an that reads:
لَا إِكْرَاهَ فِي الدِّينِ قَدْ تَبَيَّنَ الرُّشْدُ مِنْ الغَيِّ فَمَنْ يَكْفُرْ بِالطَّاغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنْ بِاللَّهِ فَقَدْ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَى لَا انفِصَامَ لَهَا وَاللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ(256). البقرة.
Translated:
There should be no compulsion in religion. Surely, right has become distinct from wrong; so whosoever refuses to be led by those who transgress, and believes in Allah, has surely grasped a strong handle which knows no breaking. And Allah is All-Hearing, All-Knowing.
How can a religion that says that, also tell its followers to kill innocent people? But you didn't know that, did you, because you didn't bother reading the Qur'an before you decided to burn it.
Be objective, read, don't just believe anything you hear or see. Islam orders its followers to think, so please, won't you?
