| | | Hindus arrested for plot to burn the bible and koran on the Bundesplatz
The Bernese police has today arrested a couple of Hindus living in Switzerland that planned to burn bibles and korans on the Bundesplatz today as they are "works of evil". http://www.tagesanzeiger.ch/schweiz/...story/16377830 |

That happens when denying permission for Diwali fireworks.
I thought of hindus being rather tolerant towards other religions. Surprising news.

| Quote: | | | | | the news is that the Bernese police managed to spot them and catch them without any problem...........given their performance in Biel with the retired Peter.K | | | | | Easy: They actually wanted to get arrested according to the interview they gave before... they basically want the PR for their thing and a chance to speak at court about their twisted reality: They want to outrule the bible and the koran as some parts are very violent. (I wonder if they ever read Grimms tales...)
So they probably walked up to the cops and said "if you do not arrest me, I will comit a crime here... oh, let me help you with those cuffs, you seem puzzled"...

I still fail to see why religious people claim special rights to not be criticised. These ridiculous people seriously need to man up. From now on Janes Defence Weekly is my bible. I'm no longer burning it. It's going in a special place. And anyone who burns it is getting suicide bombed.

Are we sure they didn't just get arrested for starting a fire outside of the properly designated barbecue areas?
