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.

I plan on burning a Quran on 9-11 in memory of the 2000 Americans murdered on that day.

I beleive that number is closer to 3000.

Let's get this straight ~ it's not just in the "vicinity" of Ground Zero. This spot is PART OF GROUND ZERO and holds a building which was the final resting place of the undercarriage and an engine from the plane Mohammad Atta was in.

It is the last big building still standing at the sacred site.

The intention of the Moslems is to complete Atta's attack by tearing down this building.

I think we would need to burn every single last Koran in America to make up for this particular outrage ~ and with the requisite number of Islamofascists bound, gagged and tossed into the flames.

These people really have no sense of the idea that other people have rights in their own nation!

Towards the end of the article, there is a line that mentions that this damages the opinion of the USA by muslims around the world. Really? Gee, I hope this doesn’t make them do something crazy like behead some Americans or blow up some buildings... Oh, never mind.

If that preacher needs someone to come p!ss on them first, let me know.

Koran burning should be conducted during non-church hours.

And often!

Personally it just seems kind of pointless to me.

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.

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

Comparing this guy to a Nazi is lunacy. The Mohammedans were experts at genocide long before Hitler came along and they’ve enslaved, raped, murdered, tortured and destroyed more than the Nazis ever dreamed of. Hitler admired Islam to a degree due to its warrior nature and there were many good Muslims in the Balkans as well as the ME aligned with the Nazis.

Churchill referred to Islam as the greatest retrograde force in history for good reason. Islam is a pagan death cult and the driving force is the writings of a madman contained in the Koran and Hadiths.

This is utter foolishness, it’s counter-productive, and it will turn even the most extremist islamists into the victims.

Why do this stupid thing when the damage and consequence is so high? All to make a point?!

We elected a spineless, liberal president who gutted our military which sent the message we were vulnerable and weak.

I’m all for Koran buring.

I just don’t think a church should sanction it.

I don’t think that “church” is a real place of worship by most definitions.

A true Christian would never burn the book, although I think they could condemn it legitimately because of the inhumanity that it contains.

You are sorely mistaken....there is no such thing as a moderate-muslim...if they adhere to the Koran they are Muslim. The Koran and Islam is a death cult...those who practice Islam know fully well this is the case.

You might want to take a quick walk thru Revelations when he loosens the seven seals etc.
