Is Koran burning just as bad when it’s a non-American doing the burning?
Better lock down those UN compounds.
Two anonymous young men in Iran, one Iranian and one Afghan, have burned a Koran in protest…
…they stand the Koran on a flat rock, douse it alcohol and light it. One of them hoots and laughs. The book burns fiercely, and after a few moments one of them sprays more alcohol into the flames. The video ends with them warming their hands over the blazing book.

On the one hand, I get the same pleasure from calling people hypocrites as everybody else does. On the other hand, avoiding hypocrisy in this case means somebody, somewhere, has to incide a murderous riot in which innocent people are killed.
So just this once, let’s give hypocrisy a pass.
Of course, it wasn’t an American burning the Koran this time. So that’s probably not as bad.
