If Jones would reconsider, and not burn the Koran, he could make a powerful statement for the Gospel instead of lumping all Christians into the same boat as "See, Christians are just like they are."

Burning the Koran is JUST LIKE 9-11 alrighty...

Chuck, you are a moroon

We should have public Koran burnings in every city in America on the same day to make a real statement

The problem is Obama has politicized it. Now burning the Koran will be seen as an act of resistance to the de facto secular humanist-Marxist-Islamist ideological alliance.

We Christians ought to welcome this debate, because it shows a lot of glaring hypocrisy out there.

Give me a break.

Burning the koran is a bad idea, but it is HIS koran, and it’s his right to burn the darn thing.

You know who’s to blame here? The State Controlled Media and the White Hut. They are giving run to this thing. If they had ignored it, as they should have, it would have been just one whacky pastor and his flock of 50 defectives having a nice little fire that no one notices.

He could have just burned them, recorded it, and made it available afterwards, instead of telling everyone weeks before he did it.

Jones is an isolated extremist
Christianity is a religion of peace
ha- sound familiar

If Pastor Jones represents all of Christianity, then Mohammed Atta represented all of islam.

Someone remind those hyperventilating ululating islamo a$$wipes of this as they are burning the US flag and issuing death threats.

Jones is out to prove there are no moderate tolerant muslims.

"If Jones goes through with this horrid plan, people—Christian people—will suffer and some will die.

Muslims have been killing Christians since day one. Christians have been suffering and being killed by satans cult as long as history has been written.

You can take your spineless self and shove yourself up the muzzies a$$.

I bet this westbororo baptist wannabe would think twice about this crap if he had arabic Christian family members living within reach of the Islamic mobs. Or maybe he wouldn’t care anyhow, long as he gets his 15 minutes.

Normally, I wouldn’t say a word against some guy doing whatever he wants to his possessions on his property, and I’m as mad as anyone else that the liberals and media are showing preferential treatment toward Muslims (how many Bible-burnings and indignities to Christian symbols make this much news?).

However, I think, given Jone’s background (Westboro connections—does anybody here honestly believe an ally of Fred God-Hates-US-Soldiers-and-We-Deserved-9/11 Phelps truly wants to speak out against those who would harm America?), he is a liberal troll attempting to lure patriots all over the country to behave in a way the media can easily label “fanatical.” You have nothing to lose by NOT burning a Koran, so why risk walking into a trap?

Count me with those who say “He has the right to do it, but it’s a bad idea. Now, can we please shut up about it?”

Why can't these koran burners do something that the media and Obama administration and other liberals find less controversial?

Things like:

Maybe it’s time we fight back with the same force and vigor against those who seek to destroy our peace and prosperity here in America!
You can’t fight animals like a gentleman, with rules of engagement and other such nonsense that mean nothing to our enemy!
I say we pick up a weapon and stand a post in our own neighborhoods!

I have also referred repeatedly on BreakPoint to the dangers of the Islamist movement, which is an ideologically extreme perversion of the Islamic faith.”

Chuck Colson here makes the same mistake that so many others make which results in a fundamental misunderstanding of the danger. The Islamist movement is not a perversion (extreme or otherwise) of the Islamic faith. It is a correct interpretation of Islam based upon Mohammed’s writings as well as his life. Islam seeks world domination through intimidation, coercion, enslavement and mass murder depending upon the circumstances. This can no longer be denied as it is being played out in various places around the globe in the present as well as over the past 1,400 years.

This pastor may be a whack-job, but at some point Islam needs to be identified as the threat it really is and dealt with accordingly.

Terry Jones is a kook, and Christians, or people representing themselves as Christian should skip public burnings of anything in favor of ministering to people trapped in satanic beliefs like Islam. That said, people everywhere, the world over, without fanfare, should burn every Koran that pollutes their household. There is no need to draw attention to the ordeal, just throw them in the fireplace, the barrel you burn your grass clippings in, or throw them in the trash, and let the city burn it for you. Short of that, people who can use them for toilet paper without reading in the mental poison, should utilize the paper for that task.

I sure hope he goes forward with it. If its stopped it will once again show that muslims threats of violence trump American Free speech.

Here’s my take on it:

Pastor Terry Jones should screw the mainstream media by not showing up on Saturday. Think about it—the networks have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to move all their resources to Gainesville,Florida, for a spectacle that they believe will stir up a catastrophe.

They have rented hundreds of motel rooms for their crews; rented or bought other goods and services—all of this boosts Gainesville’s lagging aconomy.

Now, Terry, stand them up. Don’t go to your church on Saturday (take off for an unknown location.) Let the Gainesville cops and the Sheriff’s office stand there all day, wasting precious LEA resources. Let them all sweat in the Florida sunlight, munched on by mosquitoes and gnats; wasting a good Saturday when they could be home watching football!

Screw MSNBC; CNN; and Al Jazeera. Screw the mayor of Gainesville. Screw all the blithering idiots who will come to looky-loo or to protest. Make it a non-event.

After all, people—if Anderson Cooper was going to be YOUR date—would you show up???

Be a no-show and rip them all off!

Sort of ‘Jesus is my Lord and Savior but He was wrong about caring for the poor, that’s socialism. He was also wrong about loving your enemies for that makes him a terrorist supporter. Now I’m going to strap on my 40 caliber and advocate killing my enemies. It is my duty to bring Jesus up to date. I say this is a religious war and it is my duty to start Armageddon so the Jones’ spaceship can take me up.’

It seems that this guy is drunk on endtimes Koolaid and his 15 minutes of fame are fleeting.

That’s it?

Chuck Coloson is against this koran burning based on comments from an extremely liberal theologian and a general who burns Bibles?

Why not add in Obama’s comments too? (”stunt”)

Yeah. That’ll convice us.

Even after all we have endured, it is still kind of hard to believe what is going on here.

I personally think what this guy is doing is poor representation under NORMAL circumstances, I think we all do. However, in the current environment, I also believe it is the proper stand to take. He obviously picked the koran for a reason; that is, to bring light to the hypocrisy we see every day from everyone not Christian and also a lot of those who are Christian.

Is this guy a nut or not isn't the argument. Is he right or wrong isn't the argument either. The point is that islam is evil and islam does not want peace with us. We have a sitting "president" (and I use that term loosely) speaking out in favor of religious freedom to build a damn muslim center at the WTC site, but yet he wants to condemn the burning of this muslim comic book.. even though it's Ok to burn a US flag or a real bible. Niether would make the news and if it did, he would defend it in principle.

Muslims all over the planet are screaming out loud about this and how we are not accepting them or being tolerant of their views, but don't really care how many Americans they insult by building a muslim center in Manhatten right next to the spot where the same bastards murdered 3000 of our citizens in the name of islam, in fact, insulting us is their mission. Not just screaming, but threats of violence. This is the very definition of terrorism and why this is proof positive that ALL muslims are intolerant and have NO intentions of living with us in peace. Oil and water do not mix no matter how badly anyone may wish it could be done. These people are a threat to not only our freedoms, but our very existence in the end. Now they have ally's in our own government, military and citizens. Some know the truth and support the downfall of America and Christianity, others are oblivious fools following the word of their local politician or revered "president".

To back down in the face of threats is a defeat for our culture and a win for the islam that wants us destroyed. In fact, it will only make them more bold in their conquest. Koran burning should be a part of Sunday services from this day forward. It's time to take this up a notch and deal with it rather than hiding from the truth about islam and it's evil intentions. Muslims and liberals only see their side of things, backing down now will not convey any message of peace by God, it will to them just be a sign of weakness.

If our "president" is going to preach about freedom, he needs to get a better grasp on it's definition. The remarks from him lately make me lean more every day toward the real possibility that he IS one of them. I try to be agnostic about the subject and wait for proof, and that proof is getting more clear every day. What other possible reason would he have to take a side at all on this issue?

Being a good American or a good Christian would ask that you not provoke things like this just for the heck of it, and I don't think this guy is. In my humble opinion, he's had enough of this imbalance and is making a public stand in an effort to expose the hypocrisy for what it is... to show the truth about it and the truth about islam.

Have on crossed that line of lunacy here? Are there really that few of us who can see the real meaning of this all and the injustice in it?

May the Lord and all of his grace and power hold our hands through this and allow us to stand for all that is right, giving us the courage to face this dark evil and allow the word of God to prevail in peace.

If the pastor owns this Koran, I have no problem with him burning it or any other book.
