Who and why burn books?

Prior to the introduction of the printing press, book burning is an effective form of censorship. Since each book is handmade, there were few books, and it was possible to limit the dissemination of ideas and information through the burning of books. Lately he had other purposes. Foreign governments have used burning and other destruction to intimidate and show their power. In the 2000s there was a case series of Harry Potter book burning. In the US, most of the book burning of various books I have been motivated by religious beliefs to read.

Autodafé: 2001-2005

Until Harry Potter books, it was not common, children's book series, to find the most important impulse for a fire. In 2001, many of these book burnings are held. In early January 2002, the Community Church of Christ in Alamogordo, New Mexico, was it the subject of international media attention for his book-burning by the Pastor Jack D. Brock, a sermon on the subject of "Baby Jesus or Harry Potter?". Brock he said the Harry Potter books as "an example of the growing concern in our society with the occult. The Harry Potter books available witchcraft as a positive general practice, while the Bible specifically condemns all occult practices." After burning the books of Harry Potter and other December 30, 2001, sermon the pastor and the book burning event has become the subject of new features, both in the US and England. , CNN.com reported "as hundreds protested near a group of burned church and other Harry Potter books" The BBC (British Broadcasting Company) said: "Pastor Brock said he had never read any of the four Potter novels - ., but he studied its contents "had

In August 2003 the nondenominational Church of Jesus in Greenville, Michigan, was burned the Harry Potter books, according to a Forbes article. According to the article, "" Parents [should], which is more than a book of fiction, "says Turner [one of the pastors]" in the occult inserted "(Source: Forbes ..: Harry Potter and the Ministry of fire, 12:01. 06)

According to the American Library Association, there were several events burning of books in 2001 in connection with the series of Harry Potter, and there were also reports of burning of books or other books in 2001, 2002, 2004 and 2005 drilled.

Burns latest book

Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, North Carolina, said on its website (since removed) burning of the book Halloween 2009, which was interrupted by rain, although the targeted books were destroyed, and plans to 2010 the church fire. The burning of books are not open to the public, but they were by invitation only. Directed in the case of members of the Church, what they call "Bible Satan" who do not call on the King James Version and other books and music.

In August 2010, a church in Gainesville, Florida, was known that he would burn the Koran on September 11, although they denied a permit to burn the city. While reducing and the books that they have detected break, means the destruction of books in groups that do not want the law violated in the cases where it is illegal, the church burn planned to defy the law to be targeted , After a wave of international protests, however, he canceled to prevent burning the burning church, but not in time, riots and deaths during protests against the Quran (Koran). (Source: Reuters, September 11, 2010)

I was surprised that the fire continues to this day. It is an extreme form of censorship that most people, even those who support the difficult books and censorship are not supported.

Definition: A picture book picture book is a book in which the images are as important as (or even more important than) the words to say, the story. Picture books are usually 32 pages, though few Golden Books have 24 pages. In picture books, there are illustrations on every page, or one of each pair of opposite sides.
