Some perspective on burning the Koran

Bonfire Of The Korans

Here's a news item from The New York Times yesterday: 

Two Taliban suicide bombers caused carnage on Sunday at a Sufi shrine in eastern Pakistan, killing at least 41 people and wounding scores in the latest bloody attack on minority religious groups. 

Here's a news report from The Financial Times from (roughly) four years ago: 

Almost 80 people died in a reported truck bomb attack on a Shia mosque in Baghdad on Tuesday, hours after 10,000 US troops launched a hunt for al-Qaeda militants in the province of Diyala – one of the largest offensives since the US-led invasion in 2003. 

What do these two bombings have in common, aside from murderous religious fundamentalism?
In both instances, countless copies of the Koran -- the holy book of Islam -- were burned to a crisp.  

It goes without saying that there were no wild protests about either of these acts of Koran-burning. 

 Outraged mobs apparently only become homicidal when a nitwit preacher from Florida holds a Koran-burning ceremony to get himself some face time on CNN.
