The hate feeling manifestation

nothing wrote: If I were to go out in public and publicizing the burning of Bible or pages of it than for surely I have a motive, no? It can't be just burning paper.

She wasn't in public, and she didn't publicize it:
"Miss Ramsha, 11, mentally retarded, daughter of Misraf Masih, was residing at Hameera abadi, sector G-8, Islamabad with a sizeable number of Christians, and was collecting used papers from the garbage for night cooking as there is no gas connections and poor people depend on burning wood. When, after sunset she was burning the copies of newspapers, collected from the garbage, a Muslim lady entered her house and started shouting that Ramsha is burning the papers from holy Quran. At that time her elder sister, Mashal, 14, was at home and her father and mother were out for their work.

I'm not saying the above account is entirely unbiased either, but think about it for a moment.  Is it really credible to believe that a twelve year old Christian girl would publicly burn the Quran in such a hostile neighbourhood?  Is it even likely that she could read Arabic, let alone know what was on the papers?

All of which is irrelevant anyway.  There is nothing in the Quran that forbids the burning of a copy of the Quran, whether deliberately or accidentally.  In fact as I understand it this is the proper way to dispose of them.  And even if she deliberately burned the Quran, with the conscious intent to insult Islam, so what???  Is your religion so lacking in self-confidence that you even need to care what a Christian thinks?

If you really want to know where "hate feelings" come from, I can tell you.  They come from angry mobs who attack Christian girls for imaginary crimes -- and from apologists who defend such horrors.  And yes, this is damaging to Islam.

Did not I cast a doubt from the beginning? Somebody else whoever they are has to be the driving force. My 13 yo does not think that way than why should she?

Capable to read Arabic is still possible because just like Iran they use Arabic letters too, but I doubt she knows Arabic language.

Btw let see what else where this came from from the link you provided:

By right the unidentified "muslim lady" is the source here, there was nobody else. Than the mob dutifully arrived executing her call. Whatever happen before or after is from her, as the deciding factor. If I were the police that "unidentified person" would be the person of interest before "she" disappeared. She in all sudden start shouting without even ask first? If she was a neighbor than there is no reason for a neighbor to do that. The Islamic injunction the next door neighbor is closer than distant family. Or, was she just someone who by accident was there and enter the house?

But this report which came from AHRC is not even certain, hopefully this is it though, because this is where we can see the culprit. The rest are just by product which they can be dealt separately. The rest irrelevant until they found the unidentified "muslim lady" above. So who was she?

The Muslim discussion on another forum has a very different tone than the Muslim tone here.

I would also share this article relative to what is happening in the Muslim world today.
Wafa Sultan is a Syrian-born psychiatrist who immigrated to the U.S. in 1989. She is most well-known for appearing on Al-Jazeera in 2006 in a debate with sheikh Ibrahim Al-Khouli, when she delivered a memorable attack on Islam (which has since caused her to live in hiding). She just released a new book, entitled A God Who Hates. On October 20, Dr. Sultan addressed the Middle East Forum via conference call.
Islam is intrinsically destructive�that is Dr. Sultan's message. She began by discussing how she came about this conclusion, which is the story of her largely autobiographical book.
In her view, the Muslim world needs reform in three areas: Muslim nations must 1) grant their citizens the right to practice any�or no�faith; 2) they must reform school curricula, which currently teach intolerance and hatred for non-Muslims; 3) they must grant equal rights to women and eliminate the oppression Muslim women currently experience.
 while she accepts that there are "moderate Muslims," she insists that Islam itself is not and cannot be moderate. Still, she hopes that those who are trying to reform Islam will one day prove her wrong.
Muslims will sooner or later have to confront the reality of Islam's "cruel" and "backwards" teachings.
She concluded by asserting her dream�that one day her native Syria will be as free as the United States.
