Personally, I dont think you would get arrested, but you will probably be found dead within a few days of you posting it up on youtube. There are some extremists who would kill for their beliefs.
Unfortunatly there are fanatics who will try to kill somone burning the Koran. But thats not all Muslims. Most would probably find it deeply offensive, but won't go as far as trying to kill him.

As a Muslim I find it quite amusing that the people who think this Muslim stuff is getting out of hand actually even bother to start threads about what a few old men in beards are doing. You will always get extremists in every group.The difference now is that every little thing a Muslim extremist says or does is written about as if Muslims of the entire world think in the same way - 10yrs ago, no one wouldve even given these men in beards the time of day - if they were found burning a valentines card, people would walk past and not get involved; these days of course, you have a news van waiting to take pics and carry out interviews. On top of which you have non Muslims who actually start entire threads about the burning of a valentines card to encourage the Muslim extremists to do more outlandish things.
Makes sense, there are extremist in every religous groups.
Instead of ignoring them and maybe thinking "Get a life" we have reports in the media about it and members on here saying I'm gonna burn a Koran. All because they burnt valentines day cards.

All Im saying is take it easy and dont believe that all Muslims are extremists and partake in the burning of valentines day cards.
This is probably the most common sense statment in this whole thread. The silent majority of all people regardless of religous beliefs just want to have a quiet peaceful life. However people seem to be ignoring that fact, Valentines day was a runaway success in a lot of Muslim countries. Guess that isn't as newsworthy as a couple of saddos burning the cards.
