Well, the idea is that it would be recorded;

then why do that at all? why not simply lie and spread the rumor that the rednecks were burning arabic bibles instead of Korans?

Dude. These are probably people who think that the Bible was originally written in English. The whole idea of an Arabic bible would fly right over their heads.

yeah, but since the whole point according to the poster is ridiculize the koran burners (as if the whole thing wasn't ridiculous enough) for the amusement of other people, why not simply make up this pointless slander? same effect (assuming there is any kind of effect), less effort

Meh. It's Florida.

The same state that has a Bible theme park, complete with daily crucifixions.
The same state that expanded its self-defense laws so that you can legally shoot at someone if you "feel threatened" even if they haven't done anything.
The same state that...well, you get the picture. It's basically 1/3 escaped Cubans, 1/3 escaped elderly New York Jews, and 1/3 Gulf Coast rednecks.

  I dont want this to sound like criticism, but I suspect this law might not be as good an idea as they thought when they proposed it.

Yes, that does not sound like the best idea I have ever heard.

If there's a single judge in Florida as cool as Uncle Phil, that law would never hold up in court.

It's a state of old people. This law is how it got that way.

That was a pretty inappropriate use of the Scotsman fallacy. I think we were just going to ignore it.
It is a textbook use of the No True Scotsman fallacy! Muz claimed:
No true Muslim would ever burn a Bible.
It's done world for word! Muslims are not these magical creatures that all think exactly alike and follow their religion to the absolute letter. Being willing to mass burn Bibles doesn't make you any less of a Muslim than mass buring Qurans doesn't make you any less of a Chirstian. It just makes you a crazy hypocite.

Part of the Islamic religious belief is that Bibles are sent down by Allah (one of the pillars of Iman). At least the sects I'm familiar with think that way. It's part of the religion to treat them as holy.

Of course, you have the "non-true" ones who eat pork, drink alcohol, and probably burn Bibles. Just like you'd have "non-true" atheists who go to church. So, yeah, burning Bibles does make them less of a Muslim.

Guys, I know these people can't be very well educated, but you guys seem to think that Florida is some kind of haven for inbred retards.  They're probably some poorly educated but otherwise normal people who are caught up in religious and political fervor.

I certainly hope so. A potential college for me is in Florida.
