A new sign paraphrasing a quote from the Quran has been placed in front of the Dove World Outreach Center in northwest Gainesville, where an earlier anti-Islamic sign has stirred protests.
The new sign reads "Koran 9:5 Kill the disbelievers wherever you find them." It joins a series of signs that read "Islam is of the devil," which were placed in front of the church recently.
A church pastor could not be reached Friday for comment.
Ramzy Kilic, Tampa's executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, who met Tuesday with Dove World Senior Pastor Terry Jones, said the new sign's message is not the common wording on that Quran verse and added it has been isolated from a broader context.
"Anyone, Muslim or non-Muslim, can take a verse, isolate it and almost formulate it to an idea they want to convey," Kilic said. "When you take something out of context, you are not appreciating the true message of the religion."
Kilic added, "With the sign, it seems like (Jones) is antagonizing Muslims and wants to continue spreading a message of hate."
Jones told The Sun in July that the initial sign was "an act of saying there is only one way, and that is actually what Christianity is about. It is about pointing the people in the right direction, and that right direction is Jesus and only Jesus."
Jones called the sign a "great act of love."
The first sign drew protesters to the church and greater scrutiny of the church's activities, particularly its role in a for-profit furniture business.
Barbara Murphey lives near the church and said Friday she saw someone she believes was digging holes for the new sign late Thursday. She said she first saw the sign Friday morning.
"It bothers me a lot. Don't we have enough hate going on in the world? Do we have to have more of it?" Murphey said.
lol, we are engaged in a religious war. back to the crusades. and we have a clown in charge of this nation.
The only bird I would like to see aimed at Islam is a Tomahawk with a 30 megaton warhead.
Well, here's the context, then...

The true “context” of Islam is far more disgraceful than this one particular sentence.
Antagonizing? Well, Mr. Religion of Peace, That sounds like a threat where I come from.
If that is a true quote from the koran, it needs to be put in a full page ad in newspapers countrywide.
Actually, Babs, what we have is enough lies going on in the world. We are past due for large doses of the truth. Can you handle the truth?
“we are engaged in a religious war. back to the crusades. and we have a clown in charge of this nation.”
IMO, we have a Muslim “in charge of this nation.”
that too.
Guess again.....

Yeppers, that’s the religion of peace for you.
Peace of the grave.
That line is NOT “out of context” and that Muslim is practicing what his fellow Muzzies call “Al Tarquaa and Kitman”.
Those two terms are often referred to as “holy hypocrisy” because they authorize the Muslim to lie to the non-Muslim about things religious.
