Quran Burning Cancelled

Reuters – Dove World Outreach Center church pastor Terry Jones announces the burning of the Korans will continue …

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf has agreed to move the mosque from near Ground Zero so, the minister in Florida, Rev. Terry Jones, has stated that he will cancel the burning of the Quran.

"I asked him three times, and I have witnesses," Jones said. "If it's not moved, then I think Islam is a very poor example of religion. I think that would be very pitiful. I do not expect that." 

"We are, of course, now against any other group burning Qurans," Jones said during a news conference. We would right now ask no one to burn Qurans. We are absolutely strong on that. It is not the time to do it."

So, now I guess we've proven that you have to be strong and, confront these people head on! Thank you Rev Jones for teaching some people a lesson in this. Sometimes, you have to hit below the belt with some people. Islam only respects strength. They have NO desire to reason.

Obama Says Church Shouldn't Burn Quran

Obama tells ABC's Good Morning America, that he hopes Rev. Terry Jones listens to the people that are asking him not to go forward with the burning of Qurans.

"If he's listening, I hope he understands that what he's proposing to do is completely contrary to our values as Americans," Obama said. "That this country has been built on the notion of freedom and religious tolerance."

Where is their tolerance? Doesn't this work both ways? Isn't this what our country is about? We allowed Nazis to protest in America during WW2 but, Obama is saying a Quran burning protest is AGAINST American values? Wow. I don't even know where to begin.

Once again, Obama is siding with the enemy because, he is the enemy.

"And as a very practical matter, I just want him to understand that this stunt that he is talking about pulling could greatly endanger our young men and women who are in uniform," the president added.

Yeah, they're already in danger. Thanks for noticing.

"I hope he listens to those better angels and understands that this is a destructive act that he's engaging in," the president said of Jones.

Umm...who are you to talk about "better angels"? 

The Burning Shall Go On and On

Rev. Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainsville, FL, is determined to go forward with a bonfire, where he will burn Qurans.

Well, I hardly think this is anymore insensitive than what the Muslims are doing in NYC. Why is that protected? Why is everyone rushing to defend a mosque being built at Ground Zero but, the same people are not supporting this man's first amendment rights?

Let's take a look at the problem with Islam. This is a religion that is not just a normal religion that acts independent of government. In order to actually follow the Quran, you have to be a part of a community that follows Muslim law - Sharia law.

Let's look at what Iran is doing.

Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani is a 43 year old woman who is a mother of 2 children. She committed adultery and her sentencing for this crime is being stoned to death. The case is being reviewed but, to even consider this is ridiculous and, just plain disgusting. 

Hangings are frequently carried out in Iran, whose legal system is a mix of civil statutes and Quran-inspired codes. Magistrates, who are often Muslim clerics, have wide latitude on sentences for crimes that break moral codes.

This is the wisdom of the Quran? This is supposed holy word? Stoning to death those who commit adultery? Did you know the Quran calls for the stoning of homosexuals? Yet, these good-for-nothing, bleeding heart liberals will tell you that we need to be sensitive to Muslims and their faith. Oh, but let all the waters of the ocean part if one Christian dare to speak out and, say something, or burn something!

What would these people say if a mosque wanted to burn the Bible? Don't think for one second these same people wouldn't be saying, "Oh, that's a freedom of expression we fight to have! It's okay for them to burn the Bible." 

What do you think?
