GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — A Christian minister said Tuesday that he will go ahead with plans to burn copies of the Quran to protest the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks despite warnings from the top U.S. general in Afghanistan and the White House that doing so would endanger U.S. troops.

Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center said he understands the government's concerns, but plans to go forward with the burning this Saturday, the ninth anniversary of the attacks.

If that is the case, then why can't anyone burning a flag be arrested by the feds for aiding and comforting the enemy ?

He should use it to put the muslim world on the spot by demanding the release of the iranian woman facing stoning in return for not burning them.

I agree. But hey, aren't we talking about the "religion of peace"? No retribution worries, right?

Muslims deny Jesus’ divinity, His death by crucifixion, and His resurrection. It’s the only major religion to acknowledge Jesus yet it also denies Him and His sacrifice.

That leads the flock astray.

Is the goal to attract Christians to Islam?

What good is served by reading from Korans in churches in “counterprotest”?

All day long on Left Wing hate radio (down in the commercial free spectrum on taxpayer subsidized stations) you can hear about the “horrors” of American “imperialism”.

Yet the spread of the Islamic empire (sharia law) is considered a “good thing”. There is no cultural exchange. Saudi Arabia and other muslim nations have no tolerance for non-muslim faiths.

For there to be “exchange” there has to be give and take.

“The man is not behaving like a Christian. He is behaving like a nazi.

To hell with him.”

The Nazis exterminated millions of people in order to have a master race dominate the world......this guy in Florida is burning paper.

You should get a handle on your emotions.

I wonder... If someone burns a copy of Mein Kampf or Das Kapital, does that also make him a Nazi?

You’re comparing this to the Phelps family?

And I suppose you don't see the similarities....?

I’m convinced that this pastor is merely seeking attention for his 50 member congregation.

Ya think?

Although I don't think burning the Quran is of any usefulness, this is no different than what that idiot Penn Jillete does with the Bible.

Not yet. Do you know something I don’t?

So far they are showing that not everyone will be bullied by Islam.

Great pic! FYI Photo Bucket censored my Mohammed cartoon but Team Sarah and FR have the guts to allow our political commentary.

The Left supported an "entertainer" who's schtick was to tear up Christian Bibles onstage even when he would do it at civic owned venues.

There is a double standard on display. And the man at this 50 person church is doing it for the same reason as Mary Manson; to attract attention.
