Other local news reports have Pastor Jones saying the local police met with him today and asked him to call it off. They also warned him he is getting serious death threats from within America and around the world.

At the source link, video of the New Black Panthers 'visiting' Dove World today and Pastor Jones saying he will not back down.

Petraeus doesn’t need this to happen when our boys are fighting in Afghanistan.

I would not do this but I ask where was the outrage for the “Piss Christ” by Andres Serrano, funded by US tax dollars, or the Virgin Mary covered with elephant dung in the Brooklyn Museum. Forget about burning the American flag - that is free speech as is burning the Koran. It will be interesting to see how the liberal press treats this, because they were all for burning the flag and putting crucifixes into urine! Now we will see their false indignation.

By the way - Moslems were trampling the American flag and I don’t hear any outrage:

Let’s see Bill Maher burn the Koran on his TV show.

The pastor's plan has reached all the way to Afghanistan where Monday hundreds of demonstrators burned a cardboard effigy of the Gainesville pastor, Terry Jones.

Burning a 5 dollar copy of the Koran is bad, but Blowing up a priceless -- unrecoverable -- 1700 year old statue of the Buddha is OK?

Islam just overflows with religious tolerance -- NOT!

"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.

Another couple of [sic]s are merited by the "going to insight [sic] a [sic] wrath and chastisement on himself". That said, sometimes Christians can suffer persecution, not for the cause of Christ, but just for being buttheadedly stupid and obnoxious. Burning copies of the Koran, or the religious books of any other religion, is not consistent with these instructions for dealing with nonbelievers [interpolations in brackets]:
1. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse [even Muslims].

2. Live in harmony with one another [even Muslims].

3. Do not repay anyone [even Muslims] evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody [even Muslims].

4. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone [even Muslims].

5. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church [even Muslims]? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside.

6.Though I am free and belong to no man, I make myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law), so as to win those not having the law. To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some [even Muslims].

7. If some unbeliever [even a Muslim] invites you to a meal and you want to go, eat whatever is put before you without raising questions of conscience.

8. Do not cause anyone to stumble, whether Jews, Greeks or the church of God—even as I try to please everybody in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved [even Muslims]. Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.

9. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people [even Muslims], especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

10. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice [even toward Muslims].

11. Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders [even Muslims]; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone [even Muslims].

12. Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders [even Muslims] and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

13. Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else [even Muslims].

14. I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone [even Muslims]—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men [even Muslims] to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth.

15. And the Lord's servant must not quarrel; instead, he must be kind to everyone [even Muslims], able to teach, not resentful. Those who oppose him he must gently instruct [even Muslims], in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.

16. Remind the people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to slander no one [even Muslims], to be peaceable and considerate, and to show true humility toward all men [even Muslims].
And just because something may be someone's "Constitutional right" doesn't mean that it's wise or even that it's consistent with Christian responsibility.

I live in North Texas and know Gainesville quite well... Every other man and some women within 50 square miles of Gainesville own two - three or more guns... and these folks do not take kindly to outsiders telling some local pastor what he and his flock can or cannot do... in their religious beliefs... This could be a real showdown... AND I am very troubled that local law enforcement would actually ask the pastor to not go through with their intended symbolic act... Mind blowing... that law enforcement would promote - letting threats of violence stop a legal religious act... Head Shaking...

>>”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.

This guy doesn’t seem to understand he’s not in New York or a similar state.

” ... if you aggress me, I am going to fight back,”

Uh, hello. YOU invited yourself to this little party Mr. Mikhail Muhammad. Whatever azzwhippin you get along the way is your own fault.

BTW Mr. Mikhail Muhammad, what is your REAL name homie? George Washington Carver Jackson? Billy-Wayne Clinton Jefferson? Because your dressup buddies names are Al, Ernie and Michael.

said Muhammad

Hmmmm who does he think he is? There are places around here where it would be extremely "unwise" to threaten Christians. Extremely unwise.

Suppose he thinks as long as Obozo is residing at 1600 Penn. Ave. he has a "get out of jail card". We shall soon see if that nonsense continues.

I’m thinking since I lost all my guns in a boating accident, I’ll order the new Smith & wesson 44 Mag Jawbone of an Ass!
Or maybe an H&K Jawbone of an Ass!

That is not a part of the state of Florida where the Black Panthers should be making any threats. You keep riding up I-75 from Gainesville and you will run into a huge Confederate flag. Those good ol’ boys keep shotguns on racks in the back windows of their trucks and they do know how to use them.

Those Panthers better get themselves over to UF and ask for sanctuary. If they keep advertising themselves, they may even get some Georgia and Alabama boys to come on down and make their stay even more unpleasant.

What could one expect to come out of the mouths of extreme racists filled with hatred for 'whitey'. If this thug was serious about wanting peace he would call on his brethren Islamic terrorist to cease the needless blood letting all around the globe.

In view of the threats that the pastor has been receiving I think I might go and find myself a Koran to burn in support of my brother in Gainesville, FL. Maybe other Americans would consider doing the same to show their support for him and their outrage they feel for the out of control Muslims in New York and around the world and at our on Imam Hussein Obama and his outrageous solid support for Islam over Christianity in a Christian nation.

I have to wonder where they’ll get the Korans to burn.
Will there be a mad rush on Korans? The Muslim publishers will appreciate the increased revenue.

If you want it to burn well and not just smolder and go out, the best thing to do is the following.

Open the book of filth completely until the front and back covers touch each other and all the pages splay out. It should now look like a cylinder.

Sacrifice a clothespin and clip the front and back covers together.

Pour a little bacon grease on the devil’s book just to help keep it burning.

Stand it on end and light ‘er off.

Enjoy!

PS...You could pile 20 or 30 of them on end in a cone shape and have a HELL of a fire.

Ignorant bastard, that Mohammed. The correct word is “incite”, not “insight”.
