The Koran is as wrong as 2 left shoes, Islam is a pagan religion of the 1st order.

That being said, a Christian Church has no business burning a copy of Koran. It does nothing, zip, nada to advance the Kingdom of God.

Anything that brings to public discussion of the nature of the Koran and the behavior of Koranimals IS good.

Mixed feelings . . .

Mostly agree.

Though, in part, I think we should burn 100 of their books for every 1 of ours they burn.

We should all be burning korans on a daily basis.

The burning of the Koran has nothing to do with what Islamics are doing. They have been doing that since the first day it existed.

Islam has never been peaceful since the first raping, pillaging, murdering prophet Muham’N’eggs may pig piss be upon him

From a religous standpoint, you're probably right. However, from a constitutional standpoint, buring the Koran is protected speech.

i am sorry I must of missed something. What does this have to do with a Christian Church? it is only a location. Does it matter who and were it was burned?

Or are you saying Christian should not burn the Quran but everyone else can? or no one should because we shouldn't insult Islam?

You totally lost me here.

You said:

I wonder:

If a Christian Church sees the Koran as the work of the devil, would they be justified in fighting the evil one in this way?

I do not know if this particular pastor thinks the Koran is the devil’s work, but I do not agree that Islam is a pagan religion. I see it as a political system that is antithetical to ours, not to mention incompatible with our Judeo-Christian heritage and system of government.

I don’t recognize your authority to dictate what advances the Kingdom of God.

Burning is too nice.

I can think of a number of uses in the animal care field.

When muslims quit destroying Bibles, burning churches, imprisoning Christians, hacking off the heads of infidels, and flying planes into buildings, then I’ll experss some concern about koran burnings.

In the meantime, they can riot and kill and destroy their own people and property in their own countries for all I care.

That’ll teach us, won’t it?

Quite right -- our aim is to preach the good news to them. By burning the Koran Pastor Jones is closing the ears of some who may have listened. Now they will only think of the burning of the Koran rather than of the Word of God.

This is like what happened in Canara district in Karnataka in Southern India in 2007-2008. Some Christian groups published leaflets that compared Hindu gods and goddesses to demons and demonesses. Be that what it may be, this was not the way to get people to listen to the Word. One does not first slap and then say "listen to God".

Pastor Jones' burning has probably set back the quiet, undercover work of many Christian missionaries (of various Christian groups) who have been quietly bringing many to Christ. While Jones has the full right to do this, it does not advance the kingdom of God
