In an Australian school Muslim pupils urinated, ripped out pages and pretended to smoke them, and showed disrespect for the Bible. Is this going to be tolerated and is this a sign of the times? Pupils were suspended, but would they have any regrets for this act?

I tend to agree with most and feel that western society is too tolerant of these thugs that pretend to be religious but in fact are hiding behind religion to meet their own personal needs!

Whether or not they have any regrets it is not up to me to judge. The Bible like any other printed words is ink on paper. The message the book, any book, carries should be a message that is part of your heart. Material things have only the value you place upon them.

Against bible or Quran or Torah or any other book considered holy by its followers, it must not be tolerated

It was in a Muslim school, and they acted quickly by suspending the kids. I heard a muslim guy on radio (3aw) and he said their parents should be ashamed of them and if he knew where they lived he would go and educate them himself.

I heard more about this on radio this morning. The boys were expelled from the school and the Principal made a statement saying he was deeply ashamed of the boys actions on school property.

Personally I don't think it has anything to with the Bible it self I take it as an act against Australia, they and their families should be deported. Hash yes but this behaviour has to nipped in the bud. I think they should be made an example of.

"Nipped in the bud" lilaclady, has it become too late for that? My personal feeling is yes! And where will it all end? Such hatred in todays society cannot be healthy, and it is becoming more aggresive than ever before, the word "Respect" seems to have vanished to the extreme! Thank-you for your response.

I think you could be right, but lets hope there is still something that can be done to bring this country back to calm.

I bet if we did anything similar to their book, we would be labelled racist and dealt with harshly, yet it is ok for them to come into this country and do such things to us and then cry victim!

Interesting isn't it how one of the people responsible for punishing them for this act has now been bashed...

they shouldn't be tolerated,and they can't be Muslims at all.May be they pretend to be Muslims but a Muslim can never make such a SICK mistake. I am a Muslim,and i know very well that BIBLE is changed so many times and now its worth is not like that when it came to earth, but still i cant even imagine to do so. who ever done this might be some psycho or insane,Or may be some political reason behind this but a normal man can't do it ever,Either it is a Muslim or Christan. I don't believe any religion could teach to disrespect other's religion and their faith. At least Islam always teaches and Force to respect the faith,and holy values of other all religions. So those pupils should never be tolerated to stop the others from doing so.

Sorry, soFh, I just read back on my response to you, what I meant was that to some, certain things don't have a meaning. Hope that is worded better and once again I apologise for my poor typing!

I dont know what exactly you are looking into your ANSWER , but what i you asked about either it should be tolerated or not,i simply tried to say that such things should not be allowed and a strict punishment must be made to stop such sick and insane things.

This is not weird! Here in Greece, students that are Orthodoxe did the same thing and they weren't suspended at all! I think our world goes from bad to worse and something must be done about it. I have respect for Muslims and their coran book. Why don't they respect me and my bible?

They are doing what their ancestors have done to Hindu temples in India. I am not surprised if they fire a church or temple becuase they are prone to it.

I think that is so disrespectful to God and people that believe in Him. I would not want to be in their shoes on the day of judgement. I don't think they regret it, as they are brainwashed since they are little.

Vary sad and shocking indeed, I am really not able to believe somebody in his sanity could do such thing. Has this thing come into the press, where can I read the whole story? I know the US soldiers have been doing similer things with the Holy Qur'an in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantamo Bay.

I think that is disgusting!I don't think they would have any regrets unfortunately.They say they are peace loving tolerant people and to do something like that is totally disrespectful!How would they react if someone did that to their holy book?I bet they wouldn't take it lightly!.

Theyre insulting their own religion, what idiots. The Mslim god, has said that a Aulsim must respect the peopl of the book (Jews and Christians) like brithers, and their religions. Its sad being a Mslim, and seeing most dont know their own religion.

I have heard of this happening in other places as well. I don't think that a lot of Muslims are very respective. It shouldn't be tolerated and there should be some form of punishment that they'll deeply regret but unfortunately it rarely happens.

Hello fellow tweety bird! he he You are right though, the punishment received is not enough to make it known that what has been done is quite serious and this type of behaviour should not be tolerated, no matter who does it! Thank-you for your response.

Probably not, but not much can be done about it. It is funny that they refer to themselves as Australian, but don't mention their faith with it as well. They should be ashamed of themselves, but of course they will not be.

I read about this one caramello and was appalled by it. As far as I am concerned these students should have been expelled, not suspended. I do not believe that this is what they are taught by the Koran but are told so many ridiculous things by those idiots who preach that their religion is the only one. Unfortunately a number of muslims here in Australia (and maybe elsewhere) have referred to Christians as "infidels" that is wrong. What makes this worse is that they choose to emigrate to out country, which is predominently Christian, and where they are allowed to practice their religion freely. A very sad thing to happen but the disrespect goes deeper than the religious desecration, and should be dealt with very harshly. In addition it should be compulsory for these so called students to attend lessons in other religions. If they are prepared to desecrate the Bible, what else are they doing to abuse the rights of others I wonder.

I too believe ossie, that there is some deep underlying factor that has drawn these young ones to display such disrespect, and unless the bottom line of all this is dealt with, I feel the future is going to see more of it! Thank-you for your response.

Bamian Buddha Statue - A Victim of Islamic Fanatis - Bamian Buddha Statue before it was destroyed.
This is a result of the freedom, democracy and tolerence that is prevailing in Western countries. This can be misused by fanatics, who are brinwashed into violence against everybody else. Still for all there is nothing to worry. It's like dog bites you, but you don't bite the dog. If muslims get pleasure destroying bibles, I will open a bible shop and supply them with low cost bibles, earning a profit for me. I am sure God will understand. Maybe I will give part of my profit to charity. If the Taliban could destroy the world famous Bamian Buddah statues, something that cannot be replaced, how can it be difficult for them to destroy the Bible. The Saudi Government did everything possible to stop the Bible from coming to their country. But now it comes over the Internet and nothing can be done. So they probably hate technology too.

WOW, Im not a religious person by no means. And I personally could care less about the bible. But jeez I would never go out and disrespect someone elses religion like that. I honostly doubt that they will have any regrets. And just suspended? I think that could almost be considered as a hate crime couldnt it? I dont know. Im not into the legal stuff either. LOL but it sounds like it should be if its not.

Yes a line has to be drawn as to what is right and wrong, and in this case whether you are religious or not, this is going to far! Thank-you for your response.

they're stupid people like any "christian" student who do the same with koran... i don't think that an intelligent person would do these things against a thing... because Bible and Koran are things, written by men, even if someone call'it god's verb...
