Christians still care about who their public face is.
Well before the Koran burning issue arose, Jones was a Phelps loving kook.
I find it troublesome that little more has been made widely known about Jones. It’s like all these Christians who are rah-rahing his Koran burning publicity stunt think he would fit perfectly in their pews. I don’t think so.
And his religion certainly has ZERO to do with my opinion of our Gov officials, Generals, Federal law enforcement, world gov leaders, Interpol, and Islamic terrorists threatening a private citizen with death.
These gov officials who have been telling us since 9/11 that Islam is a religion of peace, and its adherents are capable of living in a civilized and free society, and that we should send our sons and daughters to die for them. That if given a chance, their moderates will defeat their radicals.
And this old man in Fla, has unwittingly proved them all liars. As has the government-called moderate Imam who demands a mosque at GZ, and threatens violence if he is denied. And our government officials have given long speeches in support of this Imam.
For if a private citizen can provoke such FEAR of Islam by government officials and Generals, forcing them to give a Koran a status that American icons (bibles,Flags) themselves do NOT enjoy, then we are allowing them to set up a double standard, another step closer to special protections for Islam.
If burning Korans is going to get our guys killed, then we should bring them all home. Afghanistan and Iraq aren’t worth our efforts anymore. Efforts to win hearts and minds have obviously failed.
So no, men like Jones will come and go, when another one pops up....surely he/she will be majorly flawed also.
Do not worry about the worthiness of a stranger in the pew next to you...they have no power over you, but your government officials, and the Islamists do.
