Pastor in Florida Plans to Burn 3,000 Qurans Today in a Public Park

[Mariahxxx]

Today in the small town of Mullberry, Florida pastor Terry Jones plans to burn one copy of the Quran for every American who died on September 11, 2001. He has been denied a permit for his demonstration but says he plans to do it anyway. Mullberry is in Polk county which is an EXTREME right wing religious county and is where the woman was arrested for doing a solo webcam show in her home. The Sheriff there is Grady Judd who is a bible thumping anti-porn redneck but even he doesn't want this to happen.

As well as the community being against this, a person in the cabinet of military strategy in Afghanistan which is located in Tampa at McDill air force base, has asked him not to do this in the name of national security but he says he's doing it anyway. "Protesters of our 9/11 event, are people who are ignorant and uninformed of the devastating effect that Islam has had upon our world in the last 1400 years. Islam has a very clear history of oppressive human rights, violations against women, murder and rape of minorities as well as anyone who dares to speak out against Islam and its perverted leader Mohammed. Any intelligent person, after a short study of Islam, would not be involved in a protest, instead they would come, stand with us and speak out against the horrors of Islam." He said in a quote to a local news station.

And Mike Ghouse, president of the Dallas-based Muslim World Congress, initiated plans to relocate his annual Sept. 11 commemorative ceremony to Mulberry. It begins at 8:46 a.m. today at the Mulberry Civic Center, recognizing the moment when the first plane hit the World Trade Center in New York City.

thought you might like to read this. it's getting a lot of local press but didn't know if it was getting coverage outside of the area.

Amazing all the things he says Islam is guilty of, his religion is guilty of also.

I hope he will have his church burned down. And I hope he will be inside the church when it would happen

well the problem is it will make the crazy muslims go even more crazy and that is bad for the soldiers in Afghanistan. This type of stupidity is the only thing that can unite the different sects of islam against us. The worst part is that this nut case pastor is getting tremendous support from other groups all over the country as well attention which for him means money. if there's one thing poor christians will pay for it's shit like this.

Maybe he should just burn 3000 crazy muslims, instead.

Hmm...if he wants to burn qurans, I have no issue with it at all. Far more of other religious/secular material is destroyed by islamists too.
As long as he is not using taxpayer subsidized money to buy them before he burns them, it's his property and he is free to do what he wants...I thought that was the whole idea behind free expression? He isn't wishing ill on specific people, he seems to be opposing a very destructive ideology.

Because other people happen to be fucking stupid it allows us to be as stupid as they are ?

Jut like those who happen to burn churches...

I agree he has the right to do so. However, at some point he needs to consider the american soldiers who are right in the thick of an extremely islamic country and the jeopardy that puts them in. When that guy drew the comic of the teddy bear as muhamid they went fucking crazy imagine if they see we're now burning qurans.

it's reckless and dangerous to the soldiers that's all

He's an extremist. The funny thing about extremists is that they hate other extremists but find it impossible to distinguish those other offending extremists from the moderate masses.

A few of them can't distinguish the hateful few from masses and thus they will hate all of us and act upon that hate and innocents will be caught up in it, and a few of us will see this and be unable to distinguish the hateful few from the masses and thus they will hate all of them and act upon that hate and innocents will be caught up in it, and a few of them will see this and be unable to distinguish the hateful few from the masses and thus they will hate all of us and act upon that hate and innocents will be caught up in it, and a few of us will see this and be unable to distinguish the hateful few from the masses and thus they hate all of them and act upon that hate and innocents will be caught up in it, and a few of them will see this...

... and then the whole world goes blind because a portion of us were willfully so...

No, the danger to the soldiers are insane people who decide to kill others because a book was burned or a someone drew a picture of mohammad.
I find it very strange that so many liberals are busy making excuses for why this guy shouldn't burn the qurans, but at the same time y'all will talk about the art or freedom of expression exhibited by bible burning...

Again, I'm not PERSONALLY condoning his actions, but I'm going to defend his right to do so. If anyone attacks our soldiers, we should deal with them with extreme prejudice, not try and muffle any expression here.

If we have a segment of population that is so unstable that it will go on a killing rampage at slightest possible offense, THAT's the issue to address, not the one causing the slight (but harmless) offense.

And finally, the point is that he is opposed to islam, not muslims. There is a difference (just like I'm opposed to many so-called christians but not to christianity).

I think you'll find that most liberals will say that he has every right to do it, but that he shouldn't be an asshole and should refrain from doing it. Much like people shouldn't burn Bibles or pretty much do anything else solely for the purpose of pissing people off. In fact, that was exactly what the person you're trying to "refute" said in the exact quote you put forward...

I agree he has the right to do so.

What are you even on about here? What you've said makes no sense. In fact, the portion you put in parentheses is the exact OPPOSITE of what you said beforehand. So apparently you either badly misworded something or you have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.

A Muslim is an adherent of Islam. What makes someone a Muslim is Islam. Islam is to Muslims what Christianity is to Christians.

 

[CptHa]

Retards like that guy are doing nothing but fueling terror group recruiting and they are simply too dumb to know better. Should be hit with illegal burning.

 

[Mariahxxx]

well he was arrested on his way to burn the korans. he had been warned that if he broke a single law he would be arrested and he fucked up. he was pulling a gas grill and the 3000 kerosene soaked korans in his pickup truck which is illegal so they arrested him before he could burn them

and I dont deny he has the right. just like we have the right to have unprotected sex with anyone as many times as we wish. but at some point when people father 20 kids there has to be a request for common decency and sense. I dont argue his right to do it, it's the fact that it's being done when there are troops in harms way. it also will make those people hate us even more than they already do.

if the pastor comes from the westborogh baptist church then I am not astonished that he is an extreme religious zealot

 

[Mariahxxx]

he didnt he is from a radical baptist church and now sits in jail

 

[Ygor Dragunov]

That pastor is a serious attention whore. Some Man Of God he is. Another hypocrite that leads people further away from Jesus as opposed to closer. Just embarrass him and shave off half of his Hulkster 'stache and leave it that way.

 

[Elwood70]

Would it be less newsworthy if he burned bibles?

...because it's the same thing.

 

[Nester6]

Why would you fuckin enrage people like that? Live and let live.
