Burning ANYONE'S religious book = Evil
Burning the religious books of a religious group whose growing radical movement blows up buildings when it thinks you're out to destroy the religion = Stupid
Burning the Quran is evil and stupid.

I don't in any way, shape, or form condone burning the Qur'an. But wait just a minute here. Factoring in violence as a rule of thumb for any people is wrong to do, and reacting to it as though it is expected, rather than unjustifiable is wrong.
Consider this. Suppose a radical imam in Saudi Arabia found a way to generate some attention for himself. Suppose he decided to burn a crate of Bibles or American flags in a very public event. American leaders of some stripes ask him to stop, and ask the leaders of Saudi Arabia to intervene and stop him. It all fails, and the crate is burned. In America, riots erupt. The crowds target the isolated mosques in the US and vandalize them. Some fanatical individuals even plant Oklahoma style truck bombs outside mosques and detonate them, killing worshipers and destroying the facilities. Who would we blame? Would we blame a jackass in Saudi Arabia because he burned a symbol, or would we blame Americans who overreacted, generalized about a people based on the actions of an individual, and overreacted in a needless and frankly racist manner?
I refuse to hold the world's Muslims to a different standard than I hold my fellow Americans. Equal is both the gravy train of benefits, and the dirty dishes of expectations and responsibility.

As a Muslim I'd like to add that Muslims themselves are only allowed to dispose of a Qur'an in 2 manners according to the sunna of our prophet. Burying it in a place where people don't normally walk, and .... BURNING IT!! People, even muslims today, don't realize that this is a part of our own law.
So I didn't really care when he said he was going to burn it because he's just following the proper Islamic way of disposing of it.

(So you're supposed to burn the Qur'an?) why can't people just except each other? I know it sounds cheesy but I personally don't like war and needlessly killing people.

Well, we'd only be burning it if it's all falling apart and stuff and if we'd otherwise have to throw it out. I wish people would just accept each other too.
