Why am I reminded...

...of the WWII-era Waltons episode "The Fire Storm" where the reverend arranges a burning of German books. John-Boy spots a book on the to-be-burned pile and asks if anyone can read German. One woman bravely steps forward, and reads:

Am Anfang schuf Gott Himmel und Erde. Und die Erde war wüst und leer, und es war finster auf der Tiefe; und der Geist Gottes ...

Then in English:

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God spoke, Let there be light ...

....and the preacher seems not all that interested in book burning anymore.

It might be a good thing I'm not near any churches planning to burn Korans; I might *BUY* an Arabic Bible just to add it to their stack. فِي الْبَدْءِ خَلَقَ اللهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ،

[Found it on YouTube; the quotes start about 4 minutes in, and were longer than I remembered. Oh, and John Ritter played the preacher. *tilt*]
