Look again.
Gen. David Petraeus said burning the Muslim holy book could endanger U.S. troops and Americans worldwide.
No kidding. I am a strong supporter of freedom of expression, but when you know with very near certainty that certain activities will lead to deaths, then that protest should be curtailed. Something about inciting hatred and violence...
Fifteen people died in riots in Afghanistan in 2005, after Newsweek magazine reported that interrogators at the U.S. detention centre in Guantanamo Bay allegedly flushed a copy of the Qur'an down the toilet in order to provoke inmates to talk. The magazine later retracted its story.
Fifteen deaths resulting from a rumour. And here, the Doves at World Outreach plan to hold this publicized mass burning of the Muslim holy book. How many deaths will follow as a direct result? What further damage will be caused by this organized show of hatred and intolerance?
Here is what the Dove World Outreach center is about, from their own site:
Islam is of the Devil, the new book by Dr. Terry Jones, is available now!
September 11th is International Burn a Koran Day
Abortion is murder. Homosexuality is sin.
God loves you and he longs for a real and deep relationship with you. He created you on purpose and it's his desire that everyone knows and fulfills his calling.
I guess that doesn’t apply to those who are of the devil. Wonder who created them?
Thankfully, the link between Islam and Nazism is being discussed more openly now.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). Any religion which would profess anything other than this truth is of the devil. This is why we also take a stand against Islam, which teaches that Jesus is not the Son of God, therefore taking away the saving power of Jesus Christ and leading people straight to Hell.
...so...I guess Judaism is leading people straight to hell as well?
Not according to this post title on the racist Dove’s site:
Islam is Cursed by Cursing Israel; we are Blessed by Blessing Israel
A common question we get from Moslems: why don’t you have a sign that says “Jews are of the devil”? First of all, we do not say “Moslems are of the devil.” We do not hate Moslems (or anyone) or wish them harm. Rather, we say “Islam is of the devil” because the teachings of Islam and what that produces in lies, violence and oppression are of the devil. We hope and pray that Moslems will come out of Islam and become Christians.
If Jews deny that Jesus Christ was the Messiah, the Savior of the World, then their beliefs are also of the devil, in the sense that they will not be saved. However, there is much more hope for the teachings of Judaism leading people to a belief in Christ, since they are pointed constantly to the hope of the Messiah, than for the followers of Mohammad.
And because education is largely reviled among fundamentalists except when attached to the name of a Ministry's leader (without proper credentials, of course), this church has not one, but three no-name brand doctorates behind it:
Dr. Terry Jones racist, massively corrupt homophobe; Dr, Donald Northrup, deceased, of the defunct and corrupt Maranatha Ministries. ; Dr. Richard H. Wright, also of Maranatha Ministries.
Money laudering schemes
The church also maintains a Dove World Outreach Academy in Gainesville, in which students are prohibited from outside contact and work without compensation in selling, packing and shipping of furniture for TS and Company.
Sure. Sound like the type of folks who should lead others to “stand up for righteousness and for the truth of the Bible.”
Well, with all their money scams, making the families of those killed as a result of their Qur'an burning hate event can sue them.
