Protestors Shred the Quran Outside the White House on 9/11 Anniversary

A small group of conservative Christians tore some pages from a Quran in a protest outside the White House today to denounce what they called the "charade of Islam" on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

"Part of why we're doing that, please hear me: the charade that Islam is a peaceful religion must end," said Randall Terry, a leading anti-abortion campaigner, and one of six people who took part in the protest.

Another activist, Andrew Beacham, read out a few Quran passages calling for hatred towards Christians and Jews, and then ripped those pages from an English paperback edition of the Islamic holy book. He carefully put the torn pieces into a plastic bag, in order not to litter, and said: "The only reason I will not burn it at the White House is because to burn anything on the Capitol grounds is a felony." Beacham, who describes himself as a leader of the rightwing conservative Tea Party from Indiana, added: "The Twin Towers were taken down because of the Koran and other religious teachings."

I’d like to the the poll numbers over approval/disapproval of Quran burning. If people would be honest with pollsters, it would be overwhelming in favor.

BTW, CSpan has an Aviation on 9/11 program going on...this second panel are some of the pilots from that day.

Really good!

Thank you. But I find it too depressing to relive it.

Wanna bet the usurper inside the White House was having his own little private ceremony of burning a Bible and the Constitution.

GOOD now Fox News needs to get on the Stick and Glen Beck needs to educate himself on this Mortal threat, We are Playing with these savages.

Thank you for posting this video.

As an old Freeper, I beg all of you to send this video to everyone on your email list, and make it go viral!

Also, send it to your Congress critters, or better yet, physically go to their local offices, and demand that their “support staff” watch it with you.

It is the best way to make sure these fools can’t say “they had no idea!”

I hope that dog was sanitized... AFTERWARD

Are you sure they weren’t liberal Christians? Or maybe even progressive Christians?

“calling for hatred towards Christians and Jews”

Maybe some enterprising author can write us a book called the Suran and say the same things about muzzies.

Someone could design a cover for it called a Suran Wrap....

I am with the protestors in spirit and would like to have been there......with my handy Bic.

Uh oh, now we've done it! Those crazy Muslims will be even MORE hate-filled and seeking revenge!

Wait...is that even possible?

Bless these courageous folks for standing up for what they believe!

[chris37]

Good for them.

To Hell with Islam.
