OK, you confess, it signifies an insult.
Now since Muslims have been so troublesome worldwide, maybe you don’t care about making a blanket insult to them, no matter how liberally they view the Koran.
There is a time for insult — for declaring Muslims beyond the pale of hope — but it is later, much later. It is at the Great White Throne.
My church supports missions to Muslims in America and thank you, this just made it harder.
And when your mission is successful and you convert a Muslim to Christianity, is this less offensive to the Muslim world than if your church burned a Koran? Every convert you make will be subject to the same Fatwa that is being issued against pastor Jones. Will you condemn your own Church when one of their converts is killed because they left Islam?
