According to the Chief of the fire department, Qu'ran burning event is illegal.

According to the Gainesville Sun, fire chief Gene Prince told the church "that under the city's fire prevention ordinance, an open burning of books is not allowed." Turns out town code 10-63, a "General prohibition on outdoor burning and open burning," specifically outlaws the burning of (section 6) "Newspaper" and (7) "Corrugated cardboard, container board, office paper, which are akin to books, Prince said. bound copies of Islam's holy text fall into those categories"

ha ha!

I sense a law suit.

Free Speech vs. Fire Prevention Laws

Still, probably for the best if some wonky fire marshall ordinace stops this from happening.

My my, isn't that convenient. What about the Bible burning? That was perfectly fine.

Why are you whining again? One could inference that you support this foolish act.

Don't you care about what'll happen to our soldiers?

Calls for sense and sensitivity fall on deaf ears :|

Firemen truly are the heroes of America.

Can you come up with an example in which Bible burning was allowed in this particular city?

I just searched bible burning ,it was the 34th most popular search.. And the majority of the first page includes

this bible burning

So they build a brick housing for them.. oh gee. It's not very hard to go around that particular law, though it's cool that a law will delay their foolishness.

So they have to do it inside. Doesn't sound like an issue, but certainly sounds less safe than doing it outside.Gallion-Beast

I think that also violates the fire code, just a hunch.

EDIT: Though I would laugh thoroughly at them burning down their own church during a Quar'an burning.

Yep, getting arrested will make him a martyr. He'd love that I'm sure.

If they have or haven't is irrlevant. A law doesn't cease being a law just because it isn't always enforced. Just like you can't get out of a speeding ticket by pointing out how others get away with speeding.

You don't get arrested for that, you get fined.

Amazing your ability to erect a strawman...yay common sense....

Our politically correct rules of engagement are endangering our soldiers far more than this one wacko preacher ever will.

No judge in the land is going to say "well, Law X isn't being enforced 100% of the time, case dismissed then".

What a bunch of small-minded bullcrap.

Followers of religions are not a hive mind. The actions of a few is not indicative of the religion as a whole.

If somebody generalized Christians in this way, you would probably go "LOL. I want some of what he's smokin" or something like that.

Their freedom of speech and expression should trump fire laws in the area, in this case.

Could you give an example of this, please? Ninja-Hippo

A strawman is irrelevant, by definition. Now who's a hypocrite? Oh, and he's not a troll. He's one of the most knowledgable, intelligent and sharp users on here - you, on the other hand, are a snide, braying LJS-alike.ohdearohdear

By the way Snipes, we're still waiting for you to show us where similar Bible burning was allowed in the same jurisdiction.
