The first article that I chose is about the reactions of the U.S. people to the "Koran Burning". The Koran Burning is what it reads, the burning of Koran books. The U.S. church decided to burn the Korans on the 9/11 anniversary, saying "Islam is religion of the devil." The U.S. reactions is devided, either supporting or disobeying. However, most of the Chirstians and many other believers agreed with burning the Koran. Only few parts of people disagreed with it. Also, some of the professionals warned the church about having a great impact after it spreads.
On the other hand, the article that I found about the reactions of Afghanistan to the Koran burning was very serious. They protested the burning plan, torched U.S. flags, and started to have a little conflicts between them. Afghans also stated that "if the Koran is burned, then it would be the beginning of destruction of America." Like this sign, the Afghanistan took this event as a important problem and acted fiercely.

These two articles show both similarities and differences, but mostly differences. The Christians and Muslims both think of each other as evil during Jones' Koran burning. Also, they both started to distrust, threat, and warned each other.
