One wonders what would they would have done if, instead of tearing out the pages, children had drawn pictures of pigs.

And what does our appeasing, capitulating spineless government do……nothing apart from saying how nice and peaceful islam is. I suggest that in the interest of fairness, equality and diversity bollocks all bibles, korans, religious books, astrology books and other similar rubbish is put in a big pile and burnt.

They only want to be understood. I would be angry if someone tore pages out of my favorite fantasy book too. I feel so sad for them everyday. It seems I always see them sad and upset at something. Usually because someone is being mean to them. Let's leave the pleasant, loving warm Muslims alone and they will be happy again. Did that come out right? ;) Why is everyone so mean to the nice Muslims. They only want to be understood. I would be angry if someone tore pages out of my favorite fantasy book too.

That's exactly what you'd expect non-Muslims to do. Also they would be inclined to eat Muslim babies. In public. With fava beans and a nice Chianti.

Well then, you'll know how upsetting it can be. Perhaps it was a mob of enraged librarians?
