To the contrary - in Islam the Bible is also a Holy Book, and Jesus is also upheld and respected as a prophet, and given the same due respect as Prophet Muhammad.

No, he is not given the same respect as Muhammad. If he were, Muslims would be grossly offended by the images of Jesus in every church and Christian store in the world, like they are when images of Muhammad are drawn.

Care to cite your sources on that one?

Source on what? I made 3 claims: 1. Muslims are offended by images of Mohammad. Do you really need a source for this? 2. There are images of Jesus in churches and Christian stores. Again, do you rally need a source for this? 3. Muslims are not offended by those images of Jesus. If you are claiming that they are offended by them, then the burden of providing sources is on you.

I'd suggest not burning anything.

The Torah? Well - they started it!

Edit: Apparently the good reverend was also promising to burn copies of the Talmud (presumably burning the Torah would remove all those useful passages about gays)
