TSG: "KORAN BURNER: CREEPIER THAN YOU THINK
The Smoking Gun ^ | 9/8/10 | LiveFreePordie

Posted on 09/08/2010 2:20:52 PM PDT by Binstence

SEPTEMBER 8--The Florida pastor who is planning to burn a pile of Korans this weekend runs a church that has established a variety of cult-like rules for individuals studying to become ministers, according to the group’s “rulebook.”

The Dove World Outreach Center (DWOC), headed by Islam-hating Rev. Terry Jones, has been widely denounced for its September 11 bonfire plans. The tiny Gainesville church is headed by Jones and his wife Sylvia, a co-pastor.

The DWOC’s “Academy Rulebook,” a copy of which you’ll find here, was created in November 2007 by Sylvia Jones. The document, which details the standards to which a prospective DWOC minister must adhere, addresses topics such as behavior, study, and communication. It is also filled with the kind of creepy directions that are often associated with cults.

For instance, students are directed to cut off most contact with family members. “Family occasions like wedding, funerals or Birthdays are no exception to this rule,” the rulebook notes. “No phone calls. Exceptions can be made under certain circumstances but only after receiving permission.”

The Joneses also barred “Singles” from having “romantic relationships to the opposite sex…

You don’t think that I realize what Islam is? Read my tagline.

If the so called moderate muslims can be stirred to irrational jihad so easily, then we no longer have a first amendment worth a damn.

In the European Union and United Nations they are already pushing for legislation to prohibit blasphemy against Islam.

Won’t be able to denounce Sharia law.

Willing to “submit” to Islam so easily?

Newsflash! If YOU personally do something that causes another person to die, even indirectly, YOU can be held responsible.

I would include voting Democrat as an action that can result in innocent deaths. There are millions out there who should be held responsible.

Yes, they have. And burning a Koran in Florida will be another excuse to murder a few more. I have considered burning the Koran myself, but I will not in order to keep my innocent brothers and sisters in Christ safe.

He may be a kook, but he has threatened no one with death and has not burned a single Koran. His moral clarity is crystal clear and the precious First Amendment guarantees his protection to protest as he pleases. Look at all of the cowards running to the defense of the Islamic conquest.

The domestic enemy who run rampant in our highest offices and every quisling who cowers with them deserve the Jihad Islam plans for them. I just wish it did not have to happen in America, the last, best hope for humankind. But happen it must in this divided and conquered former great republic.

Mr. Benjamin Franklin, on behalf of the remaining patriots who respect and honor your genius and sacrifice, I am sickened and sorry for the squandering of your republic by the vicissitude and erosion that is modern liberalism, the now shifting sands upon which your great bedrock government solidly stood.

They sometimes give them to all the oldfield workers who get off the plane in Saudi

And they don't permit the religious texts of other faiths?

Doesn't sound very tolerance to me.

They can "Co-ExIsT" only with those who think like they do (or keep their mouths shut) apparently.

And the reason is that in many of those countries it is illegal for a Christian to own a weapon. It take a real man or woman to kill the unarmed.

I was in Indonesia[2005] during the last controversy over the desecration of a Quran in the news[Gitmo]. The hotel I was staying at got attacked by angry mobs of muslims and was repealed by the local security. I was not injured but another hotel was attacked and a few Westerners were beaten.

The same thing is gonna happen. I don’t blame Muslims, but individuals.

IMHO, individuals are gonna use this as an excuse to attack Americans worldwide. That’s all.

...how does this advance Christianity?

I'll take a shot at this...it doesn't.

And if they are like Fred Phelps and his coven...they're not Christians either, no more than Jeremiah Wright is.

The rule book does seem somewhat “creepy”, but certainly nowhere close to as creepy as Sharia law.

I doubt the Venona papers which vindicate Sen. McCarthy are there either. Disgusting yellow rats.

Those that kill aren’t the moderates. Those are the ones that are so close to the edge that they can easily be pushed over it. In other words, they are the Taliban’s useful idiots.

The pastor in Florida has already received death threats. Doesn’t get as much play in the media though as how it “could endanger our troops”.

The entire establishment media endangered our troops repeatedly (just look at the FAKE news items they ran including forged photos).

Too late for them to play that card. Hillary defended it saying essentially “don’t question my patriotism” when she said things like “Bush KNEW” in advance about the 9-11 attacks.

Still attacking a reverend who’s protest is clear and lawful while covering for the deadly cult of Islam. The mind that alters alters all. Get well soon. We need all the clear thinking Americans we can get.

so if you lived in a muzzie country you would not evangelize or pass out bible for fear of their reaction? Maybe Paul should not of gone to Rome for fear of what Nero would do to the Christians living there.

OK, then you understand the purpose of burning a koran.

Muslims, in their twisted logic, believe that the USA tolerates islam because we know, deep down, that it’s true. (Otherwise, we’d ban it, like they ban anything but islam.)

Yeah, I know that’s silly logic, but so is accepting islam.

This shows we do reject it, and, perhaps, chips at their certainty.

They don’t mind the burning of the American flag....they love it and defend the right to denigrate our country in every way. But you may NOT denigrate islam......just Christianity, Judaism, heterosexual marriage, Stay-at-Home moms, homeschoolers....etc.

Don’t you find it interesting how rabid the left is in condemning this “burning” instead of ignoring it so it becomes no big deal.

I agree, he is probably creepy, that does not give the supreme leader of the US armed forces, nor Hillary Clinton, nor the DOD, nor the so called, “Joint Chiefs”, nor the Pope the power to deny Reverend Jones of his First Amendment rights to peacefully protest the evil cult of Islam. I know you will still disagree due to ideological addiction that clouds the rational mind.

If you track back through the articles, you will find that the government was already expressing this argument (it will endanger the troops) to silence those who opposed the Ground Zero mosque.

And even then I said if they are so close to "not real Islam" then they aren't moderate. That it is a myth to call them moderate. Yet there is no denouncing by the "moderates" of those who are not (no harm in it, they don't follow "real peaceful islam").

The Ground Zero Imam is unwilling to agree with the State Department that Hamas engages in terrorism yet he is willing to speak on record saying the US uses terrorism.

He's not "moderate" either. But that is lost from the debate.

It's all one verbal push and shove. It isn't about one pastor doing this, it's about whether ANYONE in America can speak out, or do this.
