My friends and I are planning to burn a 40-foot-tall Quran at Burning Man this year. (It will be made of paper mache but it will contain every Quranic verse in small type.)
It's going to be part of our art installation.
I was hoping that some Arabic-speaking friends on Jow Forums could help me get this message out to the Muslim world:
"Please PLEASE do not bomb Burning Man or run it over with a van! Thousands of my progressive friends would be wiped out all at once! We are your greatest allies! Please just let us express ourselves in peace."
Let's get the hashtag #BurningManBurningQuran trending to get the world out among Muslims to NOT bomb Burning Man.
اهلا ياجماعة! أصدقائي وأنا تخطط لحرق 40 قدم طويل القامة في حرق الرجل هذا العام. وسوف تكون مصنوعة من عجينة الورق لكنها سوف تحتوي على كل الآية القرآنية.
كنت آمل أن يساعدني بعض أصدقائي الناطقين باللغة العربية في الحصول على رسالة إلى العالم الإسلامي.
من فضلك من فضلك لا تفجير حرق الرجل! الآلاف من أصدقائي سيكون هناك. يرجى فقط دعونا نعبر عن أنفسنا في سلام.
دعونا الحصول على الوسم #BurningManBurningQuran تتجه إلى الحصول على العالم من بين المسلمين إلى لا قنبلة حرق الرجل.
You shouldn't do this! Think how offended the brits and French will be! You're literally burning their culture!

What happened to last year's plan to bus in some diversity? Not enough inner city youth represented at this thing. #burningmantoowhite

You'll get zerg rushed by about 50 hippies if you do >you ain't got no pancake mix! Godspeed

this is a beautiful gesture and an important step forward in the world of art.
I support your cause and will not sleep until every person of the Muslim Twitter world is made aware of this powerful ceremony being performed in their name.
I watched a video on pornhub of some guy getting head at burning man by some hot skinny alternative chick

This will be an incredible artistic display, and will help foster communication between these noble progressives and their muslim allies. Maybe some will even want to participate-- like the great Linda Sarsour-- and show just how strong the progressive-Islamic alliance is against the evil cis-white-male hierarchy.#BurningManBurnigKoran
