Coptics Aid In Endangering Free Speech - Muslim Cleric Burns the Holy Bible

Hey guys, in case you don't know in a recent protest a Egyptian Muslim Cleric tore the Bible to shreds and some of the Muslim protestors burnt the rest of it. Read about that here.

I was reading in the comment section over here (same story)

Here are what some western Christians posters had to say about this incident:

   You can tear up all the Bibles you want. Christians don’t worship a book. Our God is greater than that. Your screaming, yelling, rants about Jews–makes you look like the barbarians you are. Please don’t come and live in my country. Government, please wake up!

   Ooh, you’ve offended me now – boo hoo. I’m crying. My god is so fragile that every time you burn a bible or piss on it, he starts to cry like a baby. I’m going to throw a tantrum now. What I really need to get my anger out is to murder a few people and then sodomize an ambassador. That will make me feel better!
   

Good for them!

However, notice the difference between western Christians, and subjugated Dhimmi Coptic Christians, according to the same article:

Dr Maraghy, who is the chairman of the Coptic Coalition, said that tearing and burning the Holy Bible, which all Christians in the world believe in, is a "villainous and barbaric act." He added that it is not permitted at all to defame religions. "The same hurt feelings we felt by the film which insulted the prophet is the same that we felt by this criminal act," he said.

He vowed that the Coptic Coalition will not ignore such "ignorant people" but will prosecute them. The Maspero Coptic Youth Union has called on President Morsy to intervene immediately to put an end to any efforts which would kindle the fire of sedition between Muslims and Copts.

Another complaint was also filed this morning against Abu Islam by Karam Gabriel, lawyer with the Copts of Egypt Coalition, for his recent burning of the Holy Bible as well as his previous insults to Christianity through his books and through his Islamic Nation TV Channel.

The Coalition, which has among its members Muslims and Copts, has issued an official statement condemning the film insulting the Prophet of Islam. Magdy Saber, spokesman for the Union, condemned Abu Islam's tearing and burning of the Bible in front of the Copts who were present before the US Embassy, where they had gone in support of their Muslim brothers regarding to prophet's film.

Have the Coptics been left this utterly delinquent by their Mohammadan masters? That they would salvage their own religion and replace it with a new political agenda in establishing lawful consequences in destroying a Bible is unthinkable. Or maybe this is this just overt Muslims trying to cast a spell upon the West into believing Christians are like the Muslims, that they believe these kinds of acts should be made illegal because this is genuinely offensive and/or hate speech?

I don't know for sure, but it seems the Coptics wanted the Muslims to just act consistent with their own standards:

Saber demanded from officials to take the necessary measures to prevent sedition among the Egyptians. "If we condemn the film-makers of the prophet film who live outside Egypt," he said, "we should also condemn this disgraceful act in Egypt, stressing the need to punish Abu Islam for his irresponsible actions."

But are Coptics stupid enough to actually think demanding the Muslims act consistent isn't going to backfire? Since what this will be used of as an example of "religious defamation" and it will be credited to the cause of introducing the religious blasphemy bill into the U.N.

Now we know more than one group of religious adherents want to see actual legal punishments for such free speech, I find this very disturbing.
