Burn the Koran..........................

What is the big deal? We are so tied to symbolism that we forget the important thing. Gang violence starts with symbolism being words or colors. Flag are also a symbol of a country. If you burn the flag, the Koran, the Bible or your draft card it seems to invoke emotion. We burn in effigy people and leaders, and even bra's. Who is at fault? How about the media? If these people didn't get attention they would go away.
If a Koran burns in a house fire or is burned by some obscure person in Florida, it still burns. The words live on. When a flag burns, a new one is replaced. If a Bible is burned, another one is available. If people want to burn these objects, let them do it, just don't give them the attention.

My question, What would be better? A Koran or Bible being burned, or the Koran or Bible gathering dust on the shelf? Think about it.
