The sign may be controversial, but the Rev. Gene A. Youngblood said it is researched and speaks the truth.
"Islam is evil and believes in murder," reads the sign at the entrance of First Conservative Baptist Church and the Conservative Theological Seminary on St. Augustine Road in Jacksonville. "Jesus teaches peace."
References to specific Quranic and biblical verses accompany the statement, which Youngblood said are meant to serve as a warning to society.
"I am of the opinion, based on enormous research of the Muslims' own books, that Islam is the most vile, wicked, evil danger facing the world today," Youngblood said.

TY for putting up the link, I thought I did but now I don't see it.
TY for posting the pic.
And that's relevant because...
I don't see a paypal or credit card link but maybe you can get the info by filling out the form.
When Dr. Vines made his comments about Mohammed being a pedophile we had the Alphabet Networks coming to the church service!!!! It was unbelievable!! Our church security was increased a LOT for a short time, far as I know the mosque didn't.
The City Council didn't get involved, nor did the mayor to the best of my recollection. It's pretty amazing for a big city imo, of course we had some who might align themselves with the Jesse Jacksons of the world that probably tried to milk the situation for what it was worth and they'll surely do it again. CAIR is obviously trying to intimidate the pastor.
If God be for us who can be against us?
What great words!
The truth shall set you free! Jesus the one and only!
That's wonderful, fabulous, fantastic, by far the best news I've seen all day, all week, maybe all year! I hope it catches on, I want to see signs like these grow into billboards along every major highway and thoroughfare throughout the United States and the entire free world!
Kill islam with the truth.
Every religious leader on the planet must speak out. This is great.
I hope you're right. History says he'll apologise.
His previous signs evidently didin't go national. That seems to make a big difference.
All this dovetails nicely with what Donald Rumsfeld said this week about this being a war (struggle/jihad) against an evil ideology.
War against an ideology cannot be fought only by military means. The churches and the citizens have to join in this fight if we are to win.
Eureka, Freddie...that's a winning idea.
Yep! We aren't blowing up ourselves in order to kill others in the process.
See post 16.
The question is which station will carry it? Maybe Ankerberg would do a live stream, we ought to start checking into that.
See post 16, Pastor Youngblood has had several signs about Islam.
I don't know about you but it really gives me a creepy feeling. Kind of like finding out you've had a snake in your bedroom.
So What?
It just hit me that your skepticism, for lack of another word from the blonde brain right now, is due to the lack of integrity in the pastorate. It is so uncommon nowdays for a man of God to be steadfast in defending the Bible that when we see it we think it's something else and folks expect them to cower down when the fire gets hot. Rest assured there are men with spine who will defend the gospel!
I'm cynical, but skeptic works for me too.
Don't misunderstand me. I really do hope this pastor can hold out. He has a true message, and we are in a religious war. Or, at least THEY are, and until we are, we're going to have a really hard time of it.
