Terry Jones threatens Koran burning if Iranian pastor is executed

The organisation of firebrand pastor Dr Terry Jones has said it will burn Korans and images of the Prophet Muhammad if an Iranian pastor is executed for his faith.

Stand Up America Now made the threat after it emerged last week that the Iranian courts may have upheld the execution order for Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani.

The pastor has been in prison since October 2009. He was originally detained for protesting but the charge was later changed to apostasy.

Dr Jones sparked an international panic in 2010 when he threatened to burn Korans on the anniversary of 9/11.

After sparking riots in parts of the Middle East and Asia, the pastor came under intense pressure from political and religious leaders, and agreed not to go ahead with the stunt.

No sooner was he out of the headlines when his small Florida church burned a Koran in March last year after putting the holy book on trial and finding it guilty of crimes against humanity.

A waste of good t.p. if you ask me.

It is a strange world where we burn a book and they riot.

They murder a man because he denies their religion of hate and we do nothing.

Is murder worse than burning a book? I would say it is.
Now execution for various acts of murder and rape by a criminal are not a problem for me.
But to execute a person, an execution by a government for being a Christian? Isn’t that a bit too much?

Pray for Nadarkhani every day that if he’s still alive he may have the strength to defy his captors.

[TigersEye]

Absolutely.

Someone should organize a “burn a Koran” day, and everyone can video their event, and post on youtube. Also, email links of your video to every middle east news outlet. Or better yet, each individual can come up with their own special way of desecrating that evil manuscript. Be creative in your effort.

Eventually, we’re going to have to face the truth. Islam wants us all to convert or die. They don’t care which. We are going to have to fight another world war, this time against Islam. It won’t be pretty.

A CAPITAL idea! Bravo to you ZX12R, I think I'll put a toilet bowl sized picture of Mo and the Koran in MY toilet, then drop a major dump on it, and post 'before' and 'after' pictures, and a YouTube video of the whole mess swirling on down the bowl, how 'bout that? I might create a brand new political movement, SOI (Sh*t On Islam)!!

LOL! Now that's the kind of creative desecration I was talking about. If Koranimals go this bonkers from simply the burning of their putrid holy book, we should be able to make their heads explode like the aliens in "Mars Attacks" when they hear Slim Whitman.

Every koran, mosque and imam in Afghanistan should have been burned on day one. All the children should have been put in American schools and taught English and the Bible for the last 10 years.

In 50 years, we could leave Afghanistan an Anglophone bulwark.

good idea! lets see what the koran lovers do with this info!!

pastor Dr Terry Jones has said it will burn Korans and images of the Prophet Muhammad

Silly question that's been bugging me. To wit:

When some infidel burns or desecrates an 'Image' of Muhammad the Muslims go on a rampage or issue death warrants (Fatwas). BUT no real 'image' of Muhammad exists so nobody knows what he looked like.

Ergo, how can they know who is being desecrated by the infidel in said image?

That 'Turban Bomb' cartoon was what got me scratching my head over this. For all anyone really knows Muhammad could have had blond or brown hair, blue eyes, and no beard.

(oops, now I'm in trouble, oh well. such is life. Lock & load time I guess)

I think all Western nations should hold an international “Burn a Koran Day” at least once a year, or maybe once a month.

After sparking riots in parts of the Middle East and Asia, the pastor came under intense pressure an unprecedented, systematic, and illegal campaign of harassment from political and religious leaders, and agreed not to go ahead with the stunt.

Fixed it.
