Koran Burning, eh?

[Derek]

The gun-toting pastor at the centre of international outrage over his plans to stage a Qur'an burning day to mark the 9/11 attacks says he is determined to go ahead in the face of fierce condemnation from the Obama administration.

The Rev Terry Jones said more than 100 death threats would not put him off Saturday's event, when he plans to lead the burning of 200 copies of the Muslim holy book at his Dove World Outreach Centre in Gainesville, Florida.

"If we don't do it, when do we stop backing down?" he told ABC television. "It's something we need to do, it's a message we need to send."

He confirmed he would be armed during the event. "We our prepared to give our lives for this," he said.

Re: Koran Burning, eh?

Exactly.

(Wouldn't be surprised if Mossad or the Israeli government gave him this idea.)

Re: Koran Burning, eh?

He's just looking attention, the other pastors in the area are against it but he's not listening to them.

Let him burn the Koran if he want's to. It is his constitutional right.The ridiculous thing here is the amount of coverage the media is giving him.

Re: Koran Burning, eh?

did that in Canada and they would call it a hate crime :rolleye:
and as for the US General saying it puts there troops in danger- Well-i think the US Government did that a long time ago by sending them there in the first place.

I do not agree with this. religion---gotta love how all it does is create conflict.
Muslims, Jews, Christians, ...etc how they all have been mind controlled and brainwashed into believing in fairy tales. Im hoping the day comes when the world is rid of religion

The world will never be without RELIGION. It's in the heart of &quot;mankind&quot; that we should worship an entity or deity greater than ourselves ; the wonders and the mysteries of the universe compels it... Now that we are unravelling many of the secrets and mysteries through science, we are more compelled to worship HIM/HER or ? who puts all this &quot;wonder&quot; of life etc together in this package we know as the UNIVERSE.

This pastor, it seems, is limited in his knowledge and perception of the &quot;genesis&quot; of Religion in the various regions of our world and should be pitied.. The founding fathers put &quot;Freedom of Religion&quot; in the constitution because they were aware of religious persecution; but it would appear that many wished it weren't there because of their intolerance of others...

As Colin Powell did seh pon The View today, is mainstream media a gi dis man a voice whe im need fi go siddung one side. All imma do is force religion pon a country whe state seh dem fi practice freedom of religion. Show how intolerant America has become due to religion.

Islam did not initiate 9/11, TERRORISTS did


Ah wanda if dis donkeybutt reverend know seh dere is a mosque inside the pentagon and in Walter Reed hospital ?

Re: What a donkey butt

now that we have seen the reasonable side of the argument, i will touch another side;

how many muslim countries ban the open practice of any religion which is not islam?


can someone openly practice christianity or judaism in saudi arabia? iran? pakistan?

i couldn't care less about a mosque or community center near ground zero ---they have the right of religious freedom according to US constitution...
but some muslims are crybaby hypocrites;
they condemn hatred by americans against their religion but how many would go to bat to end hatred by mulims against other religions or for religious freedom in those lands?
