If you didn’t already know, Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida will call for Sept. 11 to be an “International Burn a Koran Day.”
Provocative? Yes.
Inflammatory? Absolutely.
Bridge-building? No
Act of good faith? Uh…no.
Necessary to put “Islamic tolerance” to the true test? Abso-freakin-lutely.
I actually think it’s sad that we have to do things like this just to prove a point, but the un-informed indifferent populace needs to understand the extremist nature that dominates the majority of Islam in the modern era. Muslims can’t pass a test like this. They simply can’t. Why? Because the “radicals” are about 80-90% of the majority and Muslims like Zhuddi Jasser are simply a dime a dozen.
The Muslim community has a great opportunity here…sure they’ll be rightly offended by this provocative act, but it should be used to show their tolerance for freedom of speech. Show the world that you actually ARE a religion of peace…Good luck with that!
Predictable news from the local news WOKV
--One jihadist website vowed to conduct suicide bombings in Florida to avenge the Koran burning, while others predicted an increase in terrorist recruits as a result of such actions.
“By Allah, the wars are heated and you Americans are the ones who…enflamed it,” says one such posting. “By Allah you will be the first to taste its flames.”
Jones said the radical threats confirmed his views of Muslims. “I can understand that they would be offended. I think their reactions–violence, threats, murders terrorist attacks–that only reveals the true nature of Islam which needs to be revealed,” he said.
I’d have to buy one to burn one and won’t waste the money.
Burn them in pork fat while you’re at it.
I have a Koran (Qu’ran) and I will gladly burn it in protest!!!
Bonfire of the Insanities............
Who’s “Allah”?
Are we threatening to kill them for putting a Mosque at Ground Zero?
Then why are we being lectured on tolerance?
Instead of “Burn a koran day”, it should go national with burn 1000 korans daily.
Jihadists cannot always pick their battles!!! America will not sit still for a takeover!!
I guess cooking bacon with these flames would be a no-go...
Just go to your local Islamic Outreach Center and ask for one. I’m sure they will give you one..................
Offer them a pork rib before they “detonate”.
Does it count it I completely wipe the hard drive surface where I deleted my electronic copy of of the koran?
That would require me going there.
I wouldn’t waste a match on a koran. One placed in a urinal, however...
Well By Allah, quit burning Christian Churches and Synagogues....has anyone ever burned a Mosque? I am sure all books containing religious writings have been destroyed since the inception of print. Tolerance, you people of all faiths........
Well said.
Bookmarked....
Muslims blow them up regularly in Allah's name. Go figure...
