Do You Remember Keith Olbermann or Katie Couric Reporting That the Iranians Burned Hundreds of Holy Bibles and Torahs Back In May?

Remember back to this past summer this year and rack your brain...do you remember Keith Olbermann, Katie Couric or the New York Times reporting anything about the burning of hundreds of Holy Bibles and Torahs by the Iranians? Hmmmm....I just don't seem to remember that.

But one pastor in Florida threatens...doesn't do it but THREATENS to burn a few Qur'ans in September, four months later, and the MSM couldn't run that story enough. Why is that?

From the June article from Urban Christian News:

The Farsi Christian News Network (www.fcnn.com) is reporting that Iranian Government Security Forces have burned hundreds of Bibles.

The report said that on Saturday, May 29, 2010, Ati News, a site belonging to Morteza Talaee, the previous head of the security forces and the current member of the Tehran's city council, "in its usual anti-Christian propaganda" reported that their social-life reporter had disclosed that shipments of so called, "Perverted Torah and Gospels" had entered Iran through its Western borders.

Two days later, on Monday, May 31, 2010, the same report was reiterated by the official anti-crime website of the Pasdaran Army called "Gerdaub" which said that a large shipment of Jewish and Christian Scriptures had entered Iran through the Western Azerbaijan province and, according to security officials of that province, the "occupier forces" that operate in the Western regions of Iraq were responsible for such activities.

But hey, I almost forgot. Christians and Jews are supposed to be tolerant of the burning of their Holy Books but muslims, well if their book is burned, they have the RIGHT to mass murder people. I guess I'm just slow to this special treatment for the followers of the pedophile prophet and his moongod big daddy.

Don't get me wrong...I'm not advocating violence or outrage over the burning of the Bible or the Torah - what I am advocating is the fact that the Qur'an can be burned in the same manner without anyone in the West saying a damn thing about it. You have to admit the most of the Western media and certain American leaders seem to hold the Qur'an to a different standard than the Holy Bible or Torah - if they didn't, they wouldn't have ignored this story and they also wouldn't have covered the Qur'an burning like white on rice.

Iranian Government Security Forces Burn Hundreds of Bibles


The Farsi Christian News Network (www.fcnn.com) is reporting that Iranian Government Security Forces have burned hundreds of Bibles.

A spokesperson for FCNN told the ASSIST News Service (ANS), "This action [of burning the Bibles], which has been confirmed by informed sources, was aired on a site belonging to the Pasdaran paramilitary organization, is nothing less than shameful and the persons responsible must be identified and exposed to the whole world."

The report said that on Saturday, May 29, 2010, Ati News, a site belonging to Morteza Talaee, the previous head of the security forces and the current member of the Tehran's city council, "in its usual anti-Christian propaganda" reported that their social-life reporter had disclosed that shipments of so called, "Perverted Torah and Gospels" had entered Iran through its Western borders.

Two days later, on Monday, May 31, 2010, the same report was reiterated by the official anti-crime website of the Pasdaran Army called "Gerdaub" which said that a large shipment of Jewish and Christian Scriptures had entered Iran through the Western Azerbaijan province and, according to security officials of that province, the "occupier forces" that operate in the Western regions of Iraq were responsible for such activities.

FCCN stated that Gerdaub, the official website of the Pasdaran Army [also known as the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRCG] continued its report by quoting the security official who had stated: "Some of these books are distributed locally, but most of the books are smuggled and distributed all over the country. In just the last few months, hundreds of such 'perverted Bibles' have been seized and burned in the border town of Sardasht."

The same unidentified security source added that his intention has been to "inform and enlighten" people.

"While the depiction of the Prophet of Islam and other historical religious leaders, whether in good or bad taste, has caused uproar and violent protests, threats of retaliation and assassinations, closure of embassies, long and mournful marches in various parts of countries of the world such as Pakistan, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, its quite interesting that the official website of the most powerful military wing of the Islamic Republic of Iran engages in the shameful act of reporting the burning of Bibles," said the FCNN spokesperson.

"Of course, the security officials have not clarified the difference between these so called 'perverted Bibles' and those that are commonly used by people around the world - including Iran.

"These officials shamefully label the Holy Scriptures of the Christians 'contraband' without realizing the over two billion people around the world and at least five hundred thousand people in Iran revere and consider holy. This action is no different than what the government has wrongfully accused many Christians of insulting the sacred beliefs of Islam.

"On the hand the defenders of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the international organizations and human rights forums claim that religious minorities such as Jews and Christians enjoy constitutional protection and the adherents of these religions not only can elect their own representatives to the parliament, but exercise their religious rights freely and openly.
