Amen. Finally a voice of reason. This fool is hardly a hero. The admiration for him on this thread is very scary.
There is a better way to go about this whole thing. The right to burn the koran (I refuse to make it a proper noun via capitalization) is not in question. But I do question this preacher’s motives.
Allow me to expand on the better way; Burn the koran or not and tell people that it is a cult of oppression. Expand on it with handouts regarding honor killings and excerpts from that book that support what you say. It is not a faith. Faith puts faith in it’s followers, that they will come to God. Islam offers only punishments.
Now back to the minister. I saw Westboro Baptist folks in pic here on FR with “God hates Fags” signs. I also saw one two weeks ago in Key West which is gay central. I heard people on the street saying thing like “I would like to pour gas on that guy and burn him”. I cannot help but think the sign holder was hoping for violence. He certainly was not serving God. God hates the sin and loves the sinner. I saw nothing of that love that God has for all of us in what was going on...just an agenda.
