I love the story of Jacob Isom preventing a planned burning of the Quran in Amarillo, Texas over the weekend when the shirtless wonder snatched the Muslim holy book away from the man who planned to torch it and said those five memorable words: “Dude, you have no Quran!”

The Amarillo Globe-News followed up with this feature of Isom. He mentions that he’s an atheist who believes everyone has the right to practice their religious beliefs without interference. The story doesn’t say anything about whether he’s a hippee—just a skateboarding enthusiast—but I think it’s a safe guess.

His line, and his look, remind me of the protesters of the federal government’s plan to nuke Imaginationland: “No nukes in Imaginationland, bro!”
