The Qu'ran is Burning

       I have never been in favor of any book burning.  No matter how bad a book is, it is still a book and therefore sacred in its own right. 
        I could never been a Muslim, but I have a great respect for its holy book.  The Qu'ran was written around 600 AD and was intended to be a book of laws to keep the society intact.
        I agree that it was horrible to view women as property that should be well cared for to make babies.  But back in 600 that was about as  good as life got for any women.  It is a very sad thought to think of this kind of life as not being abused, but it was certainly better than the norm of not being allowed a job but still having to feed yourself with out resources or tools to do so.  This frame work allowed for provisions and a growth of the populace.  Given it was a time when over-population could not be concept grasped in any way, growth of the population was needed to help defend against very real threats of take over.
