Members of the New Black Panther Party showed up in Gainesville Monday to let The Dove World Outreach Center know it is outraged by its plan to burn the Koran.
"I believe in peace but if you aggress me, I am going to fight back," said State Chairman of the New Black Panther Party Mikhail Muhammad.
The church plans to burn the holy book Saturday on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
The pastor's plan has reached all the way to Afghanistan where Monday hundeds of demonstrators burned a cardboard effigy of the Gainesville pastor, Terry Jones.
"We are not surprised at all that they are responding in that way because that's the nature of Sharia law, that's the nature of violent Islam," said Jones.

"We basically want to warn Pastor Terry Jones that if he burns this Koran, he's going to insight a wrath and chastisement on himself that he will not be able to bare (sic) and all he's going to do is add more division between Muslims and Christians when we should be sitting down at the table to resolve our differences," said Muhammad.
The New Black Panther Party say it will be back in Gainesville Saturday to show the church and the world they won't stand for religious hatred.

The koran will burn best if first dipped in a tub of rendered lard.
Saturday, huh?
9/11, huh?
Plenty of time left for us all to get on down to B&N.
Lard, BTW, makes a good fire starter.
“all he’s going to do is add more division between Muslims and Christians when we should be sitting down at the table to resolve our differences,” said Muhammad. “
BEER SUMMIT!
It's clear Holder and Obama let them off because they are Muslims.
I’ve seen the American flag set on fire so much in the Middle East it’s damn near a night time ritual on cable television. Heck, they have cigarette lighters in the likeness of the Twin Towers in Iran and the West Bank. I take it all for a protest against US policy, assume the guys doing this doltish stuff are idiots, and I go to bed.
Now, the table is turned. A wacky dude in our country wants to burn the Koran. Well, it is his right and his point is valid: He wants to prove that not everyone needs to live in fear of radical Islam. They aren’t god and not every single person is gonna join up with their brand of religion. Sounds legit. Lord knows the cartoon people and the South Park folks don’t have the balls to make their similar points.
Haven’t we been getting lectured about how the Muslims have the right to build the Mosque near Ground Zero? Seriously, if the wacky dude and some of his buds want to burn the Koran, so what? It’s a book. There are millions of copies of it. It’s a traditional form of protest. No one in this world has a right not to be offended. So, burn the Silly Koran in Florida. This is America!!
Ilyssa, dahhling, if you must sic, sic the insight, not just the bare.
Well said. I know this Koran burning will stir up the mud. On the other hand, it will also serve to demonstrate just how intolerant the Muslim religion is for alternate view points and freedom of speech. To be fair: I question the Pastors wisdom on this but, I do not questions his balls. To borrow some vernacular from the left, “It’s a ‘teachable moment!’
They see dar al islam / dar al harb.
(Singleness of purpose)
FL is a right to carry state. I don’t think the panthers will be any problem.
And the liberals are outraged at this Koran burning. They are outraged about the inflammatory nature of this, and how it will provoke reactions in the Muslim world, etc. They say that while this church has the right to burn a Koran, that they shouldn’t, out of respect for the religion of Islam.
That’s the liberal view of burning a Koran. These are the same arguments that we have heard in the Mosque at Ground Zero controversy. But in that case, the liberals are on the other side of the issue of showing respect and having a right to do something, but deciding not to so as not to provoke reactions.
I will never understand the liberal mindset. It’s almost as if whatever a Christian is doing is wrong, and whatever a Muslim is doing is right, in their view.
All this does is make me want to burn a Koran. Anything that ticks off the militant fascists is fine with me.
That's pretty much it.
You know, whenever I read about this I think of those Gay creeps that go into churches and desecrate the host during mass.
If they want to demonstrate that’s one thing, but to actually enter someone else’s place of worship and upset folk that’s another.
I personally don’t agress with the Koran burning but nobody is forcing their way into a mosque during prayers and doing this. It seems Christians don’t get the same deal.
Great idea. I think I'll fire up the old Chimera, and video burning the Koran for prosperity. If I can find one cheap. Maybe I'll do like you and just print one of the offensive parts of it in large typeface so that there's no mistaking what I am burning.
FUBP!
“Sounds like the Panthers are just proving Jones point for him.”
Agree.
They may call themselves the NBPP but they are black muslims. Gotta laugh at the way muzzies are able to lead blacks around by the nose even though the islamic countries are the only ones that still practice slavery and were also the ones who sold blacks to the white slave traders back in the day.
I realize that basing ones political beliefs on facts would be “acting white” but these people are total fools.
