Despite Warnings, Florida Pastor Determined To Go Ahead With Koran Burning

September 9, 2010 by  

Despite warnings, Florida pastor determined to go ahead with Koran burning The plan to burn copies of the Koran has attracted criticism from global political and religious leaders, but this does not seem likely to stop pastor Terry Jones from going ahead with the project on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

Top military leaders from the United States and around the world are among the most recent opponents of the Gainesville pastor’s plans.

The commander of the coalition troops in Afghanistan, General David Petraeus, warned that the burning of Islam’s holy books "could cause significant problems" for the men and women serving in that country and around the world. He added that it could jeopardize the American effort in Afghanistan, which is still a fragile state plagued by sectarian violence fueled by opium trade.

Petraeus’ comments were echoed by NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen, who said the action could be detrimental to the North Atlantic alliance’s troops serving in Afghanistan.

"I think it’s a disrespectful action and [I] urge people to respect other people’s faith and behave respectfully," Rasmussen added, quoted by TheHill.com.

"I think such actions are in a strong contradiction of all the values we stand for and fight for," he concluded.

Meanwhile, Jones said he was "weighing the situation," but implied he would go ahead with the demonstration despite having been denied a permit, according to media reports. ADNFCR-1961-ID-19936939-ADNFCR

    Obviously the pastor does care, or he would not be doing this. The Quran is far more dangerous than most people are led to believe, as is their so called “religion”. A few people on here understand that, others are very naive and gullible to think that these people and what they are being indoctrinated with is peaceful. It is a smokescreen. These people will befriend you and then slit your throat…. Many people are and will be deceived.

    • eci onci

      Donna, I agree completely with you comments. It seems to me that a general in our military who coalesces with the bad guys because he doesn’t want them to get pissed at us, is no general at all. He should have gone to the General “Blackjack” Pershing school. Search and read what Blackjack did to muslim terrorists at the beginning of the 20th century.

      • David in Ma.

        that general does not want to be obama’s next political victum.

        has anyone noticed that the generals under the “undocumented worker” obama, don’t last long?

  • Gerry

    In america if a murder is commited we hunt them down,and take them out of society,but in muslim countrys they aide and abbett [osama bin laden]They should hunt him down as a serial killer,and show the world there is muslims trying to coexist with christians.

  • alpha-lemming

    I know how to get around this. Don’t burn the Koran…

    Piss on it, take a big ol’ crap on it, put a nice frame around it and call a modern-art piece. And then place a pig-dung statue of Mohammed as a companion sculpture close by.

    I know all the lefties will get behind this because when the identical “objets d’art” were the Bible and the Virgin Mary, artistic expression was the be-all and end-all. Unless, of course, they’re hypocrits??? NAH….. they’ll start a movement to have it in MOMA by next weekend…. right next to the Maplethorpe Islamic-pedophilia photography exposition.

    • http://PersonalLibertyDigest Randy

      YOU GO ALPHA!

    • REJ

      The one thing Muslims can’t stand is pigs blood. Pour it on the Koran. It doesn’t matter what we do, good or bad, to these people of Allah (little g god). You will submit of be killed. Thus the meaning of Islam. Get your head out of the sand and wake up. Talk to an Israeli who has lived in it. I say lets poor pigs all over everything in this country!! I will not bend my knee to Islam!!!!!!

      • Gwen

        Saving America is as simple as becoming a country of pig farmers!
        But seriously, while I don’t personally think this plan was a good one – it endangers the lives of not only our military, but also the residents of Alachua county and the law enforcement personel there – we do need to be alert and paying attention. The radical muslems do not care one bit about our “freedom of religion” except in using it to overtake us and accomplish there purposes. We must understand they are on a quest to become the power of the world and they will destroy whomever gets in there way! But the answer always has been and still is the preaching of the Gospel of Christ. Even when it doesn’t look like it to us, God is still in control of the final outcome. If we are a child of the one true living God, we must reflect that in our daily life through faith, hope and charity while standing firm in the teachings of the Bible without allowing truth to be called by any other name in an attempt to silence it! Beware! There is a spiritual battle taking place on our Earth!

      • KDub

        Gwen:

        If this were not such a serious subject, your statement about the plan (the book burning) threatens life – would be hilarious in it’s blatantly obvious misplacement. Burning a book endangers nobody’s life. The crazy people that promise to kill us is what threatens life. Although rhetorical, my question is how have we gotten so confused as to think that the real threat lies in the man who recognizes that the person with a sword in his right hand, and a severed head in his left is a bad guy, and somehow miss the threatening guy with the severed head in his hand. Is this world backwards or what?

    • Chris McCoy

      You were obviously upset they allowed the deviant art against Christian symbolism Alpha…why would you be OK with someone doing it to another religion? They call that hypocrisy. Left or Right is irrelevant. You have to decide if you have values, and if you follow them when no one else is looking.

      • alpha-lemming

        Nope… they didn’t merely allow it… they CHAMPIONED it!! Just presenting THEM with the opportunity to show some consistency and the ability to display “equal treatment” to ALL religions.

        I won’t hold my breath because history has shown Animal Farm is alive and well and living with the progs. “All animals (religious tenets) are created equal, but some are more equal (to ridicule/belittlement) than others”.

  • Viktor Leben

    Pastor Jones said God wants him to burn the Koran.

    If God wants Pastor Jones to burn the Koran, who are we to judge ? Let God’s will be done !

    • eddie47d

      And you know this,how? This pastor could be a dangerous charlatan and there is no proof that he isn’t.

    • Jana

      Viktor, I agree wholeheartedly. eddie, how do you know it isn’t God’s will?
      If bad things happen because of this, then it may just be happening to wake up a stupid and soddish people—us, who are just twiddling our thumbs while our rights are being taken away from us. If Muslims get so mad over this that they act up, and someone said they are burning the flag today because of it, then we need to be awakened to the evil of these people and put a stop to them NOW. WE are not cowards.

      • Munir Munshey

        There are many in the Psychiatric wards across the country who insist that God talked to them and told them things. Sane people know better.

      • Andy Howey

        Funny that you should bring that up, Munir. Isn’t that exactly what Mohammed claimed — that God spoke to him? By extension, wouldn’t you be accusing him of being insane?

      • Munir Munshey

        Andy, God spoke to Jesus also. True that?

        And to Moses. True?

        That is what the term “messenger” means.

      • Andy Howey

        Munir: You simply refuse to answer a direct question. You claim that anyone who says that God spoke to him or her is insane. Yet, you won’t answer the question about the sanity (or lack thereof) of Mohammed, who supposedly spoke to (or was spoken to by) God on many, many occasions. You are extremely inconsistent. Yes, God spoke to Jesus and Moses. However, I never made the claim that anyone who has conversations with God is insane — you did. The ball is in your court now, buddy. Was Mohammed sane or insane? If you say that Mohammed was sane, then you have to retract your claim that anyone who talks to God is insane.

      • http://naver samurai

        Sorry Munir, but you don’t need a messenger if you talk directly to someone, do you?

      • Jana

        Munir,
        That’s just because in your religion you don’t know what it’s like to have a personal relationship with God. You have to have your Imam tell you what to do and how to think.
        A Christian’s inspirations come from the The HOLY SPIRIT and its backed by the HOLY SCRIPTURES.
        You listen to your Imam which disgraces mankind by your abuse of small boys and women. In fact according to your religion very few women can even accomplish the goal of going to heaven. If you don’t like what a woman does you beat her, or throw acid on her or behead her.
        Your wariours think that they will be rewarded by many virgins when they get to heaven whish is a total mockery to God. There isn’t even going to be the giving and taking in marriage in heaven. God says He is no respector of persons, there won’t be male or female in heaven

      • Munir Munshey

        “abuse of small boys”?

        You should talk! You know fully well about the scandal in the church!

        The churches are going broke settling all the legal cases.

        If only you could stay on the topic

        How can God have a son? That is the question.

        You think the answer is that you have a personal relationship with God!

        Three personal relationships, you mean, right? One with each God!

      • Jana

        Munir,
        Your very words condemn you. You go in circles like a silly woman. If you were truly open to learning or wanting to know THE TRUTH this could be a teaching moment for you, however, you don’t, and you don’t even care. You are trying to lump all Christians into the Catholic Chruch which we are not, and not all priests have been pedophiles and the ones that are have been exposed and as you said become scandals. Unlike your people who love being pedophiles and even revere one of the biggest pedophiles Muhammad, (pigs blood on his grave)! Are all of you Sunnis? Or all of you Shiites? Is your heritage Africa, or Turkey or Bosnia?
        Get real munir and quit sounding like a silly woman.

      • Munir Munshey

        Jana,

        Your words condemn you!

        You are going around in circles.

        The TRUTH is God is ONE, only ONE; no wife, no partner, NO SON!

        You go around in circles: “Yes God is One, but …” says the THREE_GOD believers.

        ” but … God is three also”
        “But God has a son”

        You cannot stay on the subject; How can God die?

        You do not answer.

        The human sacrifice dogma mandates that you must believe in “trinity”, “Original sin”, “Blood Atonement”, “Jesus is God” etc.

        Even these words are not found in the bible.

        You believe in what you believe, not because of what the bible says, rather despite what it says.

        Islam invites you towards the TRUTH; God is One, period.

      • http://naver samurai

        You’re part right Munir. The Judeo-Christian is the only one and true God and Jesus is his son. That’s better than, there is no God but God, and Muhammed is his prophet. Gee, sounds nice elevating someone like Muhammed (murderer, rapist, thief, child molester) to a position of just under allah. Tell us some things that Muhammed has done that are greater then what Jesus has done, besides nothing. FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

      • Munir Munshey

        Samurai,

        Again you have nothing but insults!

        Nothing except repeating the insults and propaganda cooked up by the three God believing preachers against the believers of God, the One God!

        Don’t you ever think?

        You say the God of the jews and the God of the Christians is the one true God.

        Think again. The Jews called Jesus a bastard, and called his mother an adulteress.

        Think, please think! You say Jesus is God, and what do they say about your God?

        And not just the jews of the time of Jesus disparaged Jesus in that manner, even the Jews of the present day hold this view about Jesus. That is their official stand!

        You insult both Jesus and God when you say Jesus is God. The Quran you so loath elevates Jesus to the glory he truly deserves. The Quran reprimands all those who call Jesus names, and declares that Mary, his mother was a pious woman elevated by God over all other women of this world.

        I wish the scales would fall off your eyes some day. They would for sure when you die.

      • Jana

        Munshey,
        If that is the case, I quote you, “The Quran reprimands all those who call Jesus names, and declares that Mary, his mother was a pious woman elevated by God over all other women of this world.” then why are you disobeying your quran and your pedophile idol Muhammad (pigs blood on his grave).?

        You have been mocking Jesus through this whole segment. Shame on you.

      • Munir Munshey

        Jana,
        Your insult is being shrugged off again.
        It is you who mocks Jesus as well as God, when you say Jesus is God.
        Muslims restore glory back to Jesus and his mother.
        If you could ever set your prejudice aside and read the Quran, you will learn that it truly glorifies Jesus. Those who read the Quran may be surprised to learn that it is the only religious scripture, other than the Christian scriptures, that glorifies Jesus and Mary. Positively the only one!

        OK, Munir. Here are just some facts about you precious koran:

        1. Why allah hates infidels and what he has in store for them.
        2. There are many violent passages and worrisome language.
        3. Manditory warfare against non-believers.

  • Gerry

    the Muslim faith should be declared a cult and against all america stands for.

  • eddie47d

    Are the Muslims TOO Strong in faith and are we jealous of their convictions? Some of you are playing into their extremism’s and advocate the same. Most Muslims want to join the 21st century but their governments won’t allow it. We should be very thankful for our freedoms but very tolerant of Muslims who share in our values.Like most immigrants who have come to America they wanted to get away from their intolerant governments. I think we can make it clear that Sharia law will not be accepted in America and that should be made clear immediately. Since this Pastor Terry is knowingly advocating violence(yes it will happen)should he be charged with high crimes if that does happen? Will you make him a Martyr? Thousands of Afghans died because the Taliban supported alQaeda .Shouldn’t someone be punished IF support for this pastor gets out of hand? We all have to think of the consequences when standing up for right or wrong. I wouldn’t physically stop this pastor but I say he is wrong.No less than the Whahabis of Saudi Arabia. Two wrongs don’t make anything right.

    • http://aol wayne a

      EDDIE,the preacher and his followers are not promoting violence! next,our constitution guarantees them the right to burn the koran,just like the constitution guarantees them the right to build mosque.

      Eddie,
      That’s just the train of thought Europe had when they admitted the Muslims enmass. Check out their troubles now.
      There is a fundamental difference in Western in Middle Eastern values and thought-processes. A poet once said, “East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet.”

  • http://domesticpartnership Forcaster

    When the tolerance is one sided and pointed at being noticed with clothing identification for a religious government system we are in trouble and will loose our constitutional rights. Our identity will be removed and we will worship five times a day to honor a dead deluted prophet who has brought death and slavery to millions. But I guess thats tolerance. That however doesn’t justify the burning of the Koran’s which may more be done to confuse us by liberals in the background.

    • Kaye

      Forecaster,
      Don’t you think that’s a little paranoid? Liberals in the background? Conspiracy theory?

  • Mona

    This man, like so many pastors, doesn’t sound like men of God. Just another trouble maker. I only know one Muslim, and she is a decent person that dresses like American’s. She has better morals than most people I know. There is good decent people in most religions and there is no need to offend them. I hope the good Muslim people see this man as just another nut that is trying to get some kind of attention and just ignore him. Someone will get hurt because of the fanatical Muslims. This so called pastor doesn’t seem to care.

    • Jana

      Mona,
      So lets all hide our head in the sand (like the Jews did in Germany) and hope it will be all right. God did not call us to hide our light, He has called us to stand. And, stand we will. Islam is not a religion of peace, but it was made by a man Muhammad who was a pedophile, as he married a 6 yr old girl when he was in his 50′s, and waited till she was 8 to consumate the marriage. Again this religion is made by man, for men, and against women, as well as serving a false god.
      People get all bent out of shape for me saying this, but when you know the history of Islamism, and study the Qur’an and the Hadith, as well as study the Bible and I don’t mean read the watered down versions of the Bible, but actually become a student of the Word of God, and get to know God and Who He is and What He stands for and the history of His people, then you can easily discern truth from false.

  • Charlie Delta

    Hey, Charlie Delta here. So here’s how this emotionally-charged media frenzy will play out in six, well-designed acts (just like a play)…

    Act 1: The pastor will have his book burning on the 11th.

    Act 2: Then, a handful of extremist muslims will denounce the act and perhaps burn bibles or US flags.

    Act 3: There will be a false flag attack on US soil or against US troops in the US in September and the “intelligence” reports will point to Iranian muslim extremists, even though the attack will have been designed, developed, and deployed by well-financed intelligence assets.

    Act 4: The media will play it up like the whores they are and get the American people angry and want to go to war with Iran. Israel will be overjoyed because, after all, they won’t be doing the dirty work.

    Act 5: The masses attention will turn away from the economic collapse occurring in the US, the skyrocketing unemployment rates, Obama’s corrupt administration towards yet another unsubstantiated war that will continue to enrich the international bankers, defense contracting companies, and their political and lobbyist cronies. Needless to say, this dramatically impact this election season where no matter who gets elected or re-elected, the American people will still end up losing.

    Act 6: Blame will ultimately be pointed at the pastor (by the same media whores in Part 4 above) for causing ALL this to happen, which is comical when you actually stop to think about it because this is EXACTLY the innocuous catalyst the ‘powers that be” have been waiting for. Because of this, more useless laws meant to be “for the greater good” and for our “protection” will be enacted in the US – further reducing US citizens’ Constitutional rights (which we are sadly finding these days to be more privileges than rights).

    * Note – This is just part of a massive psychological operation to condition people in the US and the world for increased turmoil over the next two years because governments (more specifically political “leaders”) are really starting to to fear the people. As they rightfully should.

    Of course, I certainly hope NONE of the events above happen and everybody goes on their merry way.

    But if you step back and look at how historical events have unfolded in the past – this scenario playing out like I have mentioned makes complete sense.

    In the end, no matter what happens – remember to watch out for yourself and your loved ones, and protect what’s rightfully yours. That’s how good-natured people have gotten this far throughout history, and it’s how we’ll continue on the road ahead.

    Charlie Delta signing off…

  • Bob Wire

    What might be the “upside” of such an “act”?

    This Statement of Contempt?

    As for myself, ~ I create things and then destroy them, by demanding them to work in an effort to understand how to “build better” It’s through such a process of finding the weak points in design anything becomes “durable” and reliable.

    If these/some Muslims might come “undone” over such an act, it is best to know it now and exactly which ones it might effect ~”IF” the present plan continues ~ and that plan is, for the rest of the world citizens are to “share” this world with the Muslim community.

    General Petraeus and his men have a hard job to do and it’s concerning he feels this important enough to weigh in on the matter. But on this matter I feel the “need to know” greater then making his job easier.

    I don’t care to share a world with a people that “might come unhinged” and hurt or kill other people over such an act by one pastor. ~ do you?

    As we(Americans) continue to invest in the Middle East and even accept immigration to our shores and their numbers grows, forces the question to be addressed.

    Is the social fabric we weave today to be that delicate that it might “be ripped” by such an act of contempt?

    We need to know the answer to that question TODAY! and not tomorrow.

    I have little interest in kissing their “collective ass” just to maintain the peace. I don’t wish future Americans to live in such a fearful manner. To allow it to go unchecked, it’d only get worse with the passing of time.

    These people are in the wrong place, the wrong time and need to return home if they wish to “explode” over issues of God and Faith.

    America is not big enough for such notions and offer a bright future to “all” Americans.

  • az wayne

    Why do we allow or pay any attention to anyone who uses such asinine jibberish? Is there a spec of common sense anywhere in this country? Thye use whatever portions of our constitution, religious ethics, to beat us to death in their crusade to take over America. Will we ever defend anything we were founded on? They have been working and planning for years to get this done and most Americans had to much apathy in the name of good. If we were smart everybody who can find one or more would burn them. We don’t need the media blitze just find and burn, we would be on track. When they don’t like what we do they can go back to their third world area and love their lies. Don’t claim religious liberty it’s a political cult, recognize it.

    Here are the facts about Islamic tolerance:
    Non-Muslims are Not Allowed Inside of Mosques because they Will Defile and Desecrate the Mosque.
    Muslims are Teaching their Children that Non-Muslims are Pigs and Apes that Must be Slaughtered, Sold as Slaves or Converted to Islam.
    Islam is a Totalitarian Theo-Political System that Seeks World DOMINATION.
    Islam is Very Similar to Nazism and Hitlers Mein Kampf is a Top Seller in Most Muslim Nations.
    QUOTED FROM THE QURAN OF ISLAM WHICH IS TAUGHT IN EVERY MOSQUE
    Oppose and admonish those who refuse to follow Muhammad. 4:63
    The hypocrites refuse to die for Allah and Muhammad. 4:66
    Those who obey Allah and Muhammad are favored by Allah. They are the best company. 4:69
    Allah will bestow a vast reward on those who fight in religious wars. 4:74
    Believers fight for Allah; disbelievers fight for the devil. So fight the minions of the devil. 4:76
    Allah casts the hypocrites back to disbelief. Don’t try to guide those that Allah sends astray. 4:88
    Have no unbelieving friends. Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them. 4:89
    If the unbelievers do not offer you peace, kill them wherever you find them. Against such you are given clear warrant. 4:91
    The disbelievers are an open enemy to you. 4:101
    Relent not in pursuit of the enemy. They have no hope from Allah. 4:104
    Allah will not allow disbelievers to succeed against believers. 4:141
    You must believe everything Allah and his messengers tell you. Those who don’t are disbelievers and will face a painful doom. 4:150-151

Edduh, if you wish to do so, read I and II Kings in the Old Testiment and see what they did to false gods. They torched their temples, burned their books, tore down their idols, and even slayed the priests. I believe in doing all of these things, except the slaying part. I had too much of that in my life already. It’s no different than when they do these things to christians or Americans. I’m tired of you libs crying out about rights under the Constitution, but if someone does something different you go and have a tizzy fit.

      It’s interesting you brought up that non-Muslims are not allowed in mosques. Have you noticed how many photographs there are of our “glorious president” inside mosques? Have you noticed how he bows to various and sundry Islamic Middle Eastern leaders? Have you noticed that his name is Barach Hussein Obama? Pulleese! This guy is patently a Muhammadan.

      No, Some of us are only tired of the continued wars over religion and you are helping to keep the fires burning.I won’t deny that the Muslims are being bold and moving into Europe and elsewhere and that scares folks. But the Crusades are over and these Crusades did far more harm than good (Most Crusaders could have cared less about being a Christian and some were looters and mercenaries) I believe some folks want to relive the “glory days” of the 12th century.Let’s keep to our senses and keep our Christian values intact without demonizing others.

    Book Burnings remind me of Nazi Germany. I don’t see what this accomplishes except that the pastor who engineered this event gets a ton of publicity. BUT I SUPPORT HIS RIGHT TO DO IT!

    Note that Imam Rauf is now trying to hold Americans hostage by saying that there will be violence in the middle east if the ground zero mosque doesn’t get built. I say, bring it on! We can not bow to threats. If the Muslims in the Middle East engage in violence over either the book burning or the ground zero mosque we should start a ban Islam/Muslims in America protest and get our laws changed so that there will be no mosques in America – their religion is totally against everything America stands for.

    Oh, btw, did you know that the ground zero mosque is victory marker #3? Yes it is, Shanksville’s memorial park (flight 93 went down on 9/11 there) is a crescent moon that aligns directly with Mecca. While the arhictect denies any connection with Islam symbolism, there’s no denying that this is Victory Marker #2 and the mosque installed in the pentagon is victory marker #1. THE NEWS MEDIA WON’T EVEN TOUCH THIS STORY. YOU CAN GET IT BY GOOGLING SHANKSVILLE AND MEMORIAL PARK DESIGN AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!

        Partricia,
        From what I understand there really isn’t a ‘Mosque’, but a room set aside for them to go into and worship. However, remember when they go worship they must wash their feet so I would imagine there would be foot washing basins around too.
        Everyone must, and has to go to a lot of trouble for them and their rights, meanwhile our rights not only as Christians, but as individula citizens keeps diminishing.

      • Patriot007

        that’s so the Muslim in Cheuif won’t have to rtravel to far to face Mecca 3 times a day and show his posterior to the West. LOL!

      • Munir Munshey

        They do not have to travel anywhere. Wherever they happen to be, they face Mecca at the time of prayer, which is 5 times a day and not 3. Why should anyone have objection to people praying?

      • http://naver samurai

        Munir, why should people be told which direction to face and how many times a day to pray?

      • Munir Munshey

        Samurai,
        Jesus was told to pray. Jesus prayed to his God and your God. That is what the bible says he said. He prayed regularly in a prescribed manner. The bible says so. He raised his hands in prayers, sat down, and even prostrated. The bible says all that. Jesus taught you, and the early followers prayed regularly certain number of times a day. The chapter in the bible, ACTS says so.

      • http://naver samurai

        Munir, here you greatly err.
        1. Acts is a book and not a chapter.
        2. Yes, Jesus did pray. He prayed because he wanted to, not because some false prophet said when and how to do it.
        3. Jesus didn’t have to face a certain direction.

        Understand now? FOR GOD (not allah) AND COUNTRY!

      • Munir Munshey

        Jesus was told, for sure. The bible says so. Jesus himself says so.
        He said he always did what his God told him to do. He taught his followers the exact words in which to pray. The Lord’s prayer! That definitely was not in English since English did not exist back then.

        You do not have a Gospel “according to Jesus”. Out of the hundreds of Gospels in existence, some human beings, after they were deluded into accepting three Gods, chose 4 out of 100s of Gospels.

        That is history. You know it.
        The Gospel of Phillip, the gospel of James (Jesus brother), The Gospel of Mary, the gospel of Thomas were all written by those who intimately knew Jesus. These Gospels exist even now. Luke was not even born when Jesus lived. Luke says so himself in the very first paragraph.

        Paul never saw Jesus. You believe them.

        As for the direction, you cannot prove that Jesus did not pray in any one direction. Does anything in the bible specifically says that they prayed haphazardly, in all directions?

      • http://naver samurai

        Munir, I think it’s time for you to get back into your rehab program.

  • Patriot007

    When the Muslims invaded Europe and people were being killed and property confiscated in the name of the demon-”god” Allah and his false prophet Mohammed, I’m certain the Christians of that era sounded alot like these opinions I’m reading. Fear our retibution is the Muslim message. I say, Man UP! We’re Americans not cowards. These people routinely oppress Christians, destroy Christian Churches and kill converts to Christianity (coverts out of volition, not coersion). They routinely denounce Christian tenants of faith, why should I care if they are offended, I’m way past that. It is the Muslim people that need to do a better job of defining whast they stand for. I may not be interested in burning a Koran or any other book, but there’s nothing wrong with this preacher doing what he thinks is a statement regarding the 911 attack. If we don’t exercise our liberties, Hillary Clinton, Obama, Pelosie and the Obama biased Media will shame us into practising and expressing Christian faith in a closet with fear, just as our Muslim friends claiming ‘peace and tolerance” want. what nonsense.

    • Chris McCoy

      You mean when the Muslims invaded Spain and headed Northward AFTER the Christians had slaughtered countless Muslims in the Crusades and then killed thousands of Jews during the inquisition of Spain? Yeah, those Muslims certainly couldn’t feel justified saving the Spanish population from an oppressive and torturing radical faith spreading across Europe called Christianity could they?

      And for the guy mentioning Palestinians and all the crimes of Hamas and Fatah…both sides in that conflict have been slaughtering each other for 4000 years. We can’t even figure out which side started it. After millenia of bloodshed it no longer matters. Israelis recently entered Gaza to stop the Quassam rockets that had killed a dozen civilians. They killed hundreds of innocent civilians while killing Hamas soldiers. Both sides have justification.

      Bottom line all these little justifications have ZERO affect on the point at hand. Do our morals allow us to burn the holy book of another people for the sole purpose of offending and intimidating them? I would say no. Christianity doesn’t allow for that.

      All I am going to say.

      • Granny Mae

      • http://naver samurai

        You’re right Granny! Many people were killed for just having a copy of the Bible. Many were killed because only the priest can have a Bible and it can only be house in the church. These were the beliefs of the Catholics during those dark days. FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

  • PJ

    Yes, Jana! I say if this one pastor can cause such wrath and fear, then there is no place for Islam in America. I believe building a mosque at Ground Zero is an act of dominance by Islam and allowing it to be built for the sake of peace is submission to Islam. We will be bending to the will of the Muslims, no matter how repulsive the act of building the mosque to the families of 9/11 is. Tolerance goes BOTH ways. If this puts our troops in more danger, bring them home. We cannot bring Muslim countries into the present, because they insist on living in the past. It is time to start caring for Americans first. We can no longer afford to support the rest of the world above our own. Take care of the homeless and hungry here first. If Muslim Americans cannot tolerate one man burning the Koran, then they do not belong here.

    • Andy Howey

      Amen to that. Leave the Muslims to their own devices as long as they stay in their own part of the world. If they want to be in our country, then they need to tolerate our beliefs and ideals. Tolerance is a two-way street. If one group repeatedly demonstrates that they will not tolerate the beliefs and ideals of another (or any other) group, then why should tolerance be extended to them. If the Muslims don’t want to tolerate us, then they don’t need to be here.

      • Kaye

        Andy, the problem is that they don’t stay in their own part of the world. They are doing their brand of evangelization which means that any country they settle in they consider owned by Islam.

      • Munir Munshey

        25% of the Muslims are white or black or Latinos, just like an average American. They do wish to stay in their part of the world, which is America. They need to build places of worship. Would you still say that to your daughter, if she comes to you one day and says, ” Dad, Mom … I am … now a Muslim”.

      • Munir Munshey

        You talk about one?

        The scholars have identified 1000s of such errors. There are several website devoted to the subject. I am sure you know.

        My personal favorite:

        Christians say Jesus is the son of God. Don’t you agree that his genealogy would be the shortest: Jesus son of God. there! Done!

        But the bible provides to provide the genealogy that has 44 names.

        As if that is not enough, the bible gives another genealogy. This one has 22 or so names and only 4 names are common in the two genealogy.

        Also,

        One says his grandfathers name was heli, the other genealogy has another name.

        Aren’t you guys a little bit curious?

        Jesus has one father, God!
        Jesus has two grandfathers?

        So Jesus’ father, God, has a father who was a human?

        First of all, I agree with you Jana. Keep up the good fight, fellow patriot. Never saw this person on this posting site before. He must be getting paid to say this crap to a bunch of God fearing patriots!

        Second, Munir you just didn’t make any sense at all! As far as I’m concerned, lineage don’t mean anything outside of royalty. You know, the first born is next in line for the throne, then the second, third, etc, so what is your point of all these useless and baseless rantings?

        Third, be careful with what you say. I went to Afghanistan and Iraq and took the lives of many terrorists and murderers there. I was in the top 10 in body count and my platoon was too (Dragon Slayers, 2/152 Mech Inf). We were also awarded for no collateral damage during our whole 1 year tour. I guess you can say that God helped us take out the bad guys and spared the innocent ones. FOR GOD (not allah) AND COUNTRY!

      • Munir Munshey

      • Jana

        Munir,
        God can’t die. Only your god died. Muhammad (pigs blood be on his grave), the peophile.

        Jesus ROSE AGAIN, he defeated death, and bruised the heal of satan, your god.

      • Munir Munshey

        Jana, more insults!

        You reply, but you do not answer. So you must insult. Fine!

        Jesus rose, but he had to die first, right? For three days? Please explain how God can stay dead for even a split second.

        You say Jesus defeated death, after death overwhelmed him for three days?
        Do you even get the point? There is a lapse of logic in your theology.

        STEP ONE: God is immortal. STEP TWO: You say Jesus was God. STEP THREE: Jesus, the God, died.

        Your Explanation: Oh but God died only for three days.

        Your dogma mandates that God MUST DIE! A human death just would not atone for the original sin.

      • Munir Munshey

        “ineage don’t mean anything”, you say.
        You must wonder then why does the bible give the genealogy of Jesus. And not one but two, one of them obviously false!
        If you were God fearing, you would not say God died, or God had a son or Jesus was God. Do you not think? Why would God need a son? He is immortal. Mortals need sons, mortals copulate, and mortals have sons. God does not need a son, for God would not die; God did not copulate, and God does not have a son.

        Just ponder!

        If God had a son once, then that opens the possibility that God may have another son, or may be a daughter this time. Two thousand years is enough time between babies, don’t you think?

        If God had a son, does it not open the possibility that some day he would have a grandson, or granddaughter, not to mention a daughter in law, or the son in law.

        Logical that, right?

      • Andy Howey

        Munir: “there! Done!” Well, nanny-nanny, boo-boo to you, too. Your comment doesn’t prove anything except how ignorant you are of Christian theology. Joseph wasn’t Jesus’ biological father — he was his adoptive father. Mary conceived of the Holy Spirit, who is the third person of the Holy Trinity (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit) to become the mother of God the Son (second person of the Holy Trinity).

        Is I tried to explain earlier, Jesus (God the Son) came down from Heaven to becom human in order to experience the human condition in order to be able to offer the perfect sacrifice for our sins. We don’t need to slaughter goats or sheep in sacrifice as Muslims do during Hajj — our sacrifice has been made.

        Jesus Christ came IN THE FLESH to show man how to live, and to show man that it was possible to live a life without sin. Jesus Christ the SON OF GOD was the only one that ever lived without sin and blameless. He laid down His life as a sacrifice so that we no longer had to offer up animal sacrifices for the remission of our sins.
        John3:16 says,”For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
        Munir this means even you.
        Yes, Jesus died on the cross, but it was only His flesh body that died. His spirit did not die, during those 3 days Jesus went to sheol and was ministering to those souls that had lived in earlier ages. Even you know that our spirits do not die as you have hopes of going to heaven one day. Flesh certainly doesn’t go to heaven. our spirit also known as soul goes to heaven.

        You say over and over I have not answered you, but you haven’t answered Andy Howey, Samurai or me on things we have asked you. All you want to do is a useless debate. You are blind to the truth and have done nothing but distort scripture and show your ignorance of the Bible. you are disgracing yourself.
        You claim I am throwing insults at you, and you think you have been blameless of throwing insults and threats? That is all you have done on this site, which proves who it is you serve, satan.

    I say go ahead and burn “The Qur’an”. I have read the book from cover to cover and it does not in no way align with America’s Christian beliefs or principals. Also, folks in New York City, if you want to stop the building of the ground zero mosque, go to a pig farm, buy a couple of pigs, take them to the mosque site, slaughter them there and let the pigs blood soak into the ground. According to their religion, they can not build a mosque on land that’s been contaminated with pigs blood. They did the exact same thing to stop the building of a mosque in Spain.

    • Jason West

      Thank you Bill. What a wonderful piece of information. Bless you. Now we have the answer to other provocations when it is required. After all we can ‘SAY’ it is pig’s blood; no problem!

    • Stephen

      I hate to agree Bill and I do. It sounds like the most peaceful approach. I personally believe they have the right to build wherever they wish.
      I would like to remind people that we don’t do so good expressing Christian value here in this country. We are not about freedom or at least not for freedom for the common person. I love the lyrics “you can’t escape if you think your free.”
      One only need to consider the Christian crusades centuries past or the installment of corrupt leaders like the shaw in Iran. Or the genocide of the native american. Remember their religion was outlawed until 1974. We shouldn’t think about those good christian that thought it was OK to hunt them for the bounty on their scalps. (this was not that long ago)There are still native people who don’t know their sibling because they were stolen by the operations of our government.
      Consider all the people interned in concentration camps here during WW2. Or nuking population centers in Japan.
      Oh, we shouldn’t forget the Kings Torah either. The commandment not to kill only applies to Jews killing Jews. Anyone outside that faith is dead meat too, if they are a threat.
      God is Love and if we aren’t expressing Love does it matter what religion we are or what God we worship? Maybe the limitation on our ability to Love is the degree of our separation from God?
      Maybe the first question everybody ought to bring to the forefront of their brain is the question: Is this an act of Love?
      I would think burning holy books is not an act of Love? Oh how our world would change!

      • Patricia Smith

        Stephen: FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Without it we will not be free, THEY will take over by usining our FREEDOM OF RELIGION to push this unholy quran. If anyone stops this pastor in Gainesville THEY have made a HUGE dent in our 1st Amendment. Seperation of Church & State remember that one? Our laws are for all people in this country. Worship whom you please but don’t confuse LOVE with LAWS

        Where in the hell did you ever get the idea the Koran is a holy book?We are talking about a savage and brutal CULT,and this is their instruction book.

        STEPHEN,i guess building the mosque near ground zero is an act of love!74% of the Americans does not want the mosque built near ground zero.yes,the constitution guarantees them the right to build the mosque near ground zero,but that doesn’t make it right,just like the preacher and his followers want to burn the korans,right or wrong.i’m not so sure it’s wrong to burn them,i’m tired of all this bs that our gov.is trying to bend over backwards to please all these radicals,illegals and terrorist supporting countries.it’s about time someone stands up to these radical murderers!

      • Granny Mae

        Stephen,

        Boy you are good a spouting half truths. Go back to the crusades and tell me why they came about. Now go to the native Americans and tell what Christians it was that thought it was ok to scalp them? I don’t disagree that they did happen but I do disagree that they happened for the reasons you say and why would you even think of lumping all Christians to the thinking of killing of the Indians ? I so happened to be the sick mentality of a president that brought that on and it was a disgrace that we will never live down nor should we, but it certainly wasn’t the christians that did it. It was a man without a faith and a brain! The crusades were the christians retaliating over the rule of the muslims of that day. They had taken over the known world at that time and were trying to do just like they are doing today. They haven’t changed one damn bit in two thousand years.
        get your facts straight !

    • Patricia Smith

      Bill: Great pig idea. There was an idea going around about all these agents on airplanes when all we need to do is keep a pig on board. Let them get their own airlines if they don’t want to fly with an AMERICAN pig, then they can blow themselves up

      • eddie47d

        That’s ridiculous but you certainly have proven who you are and if I have to choose I take the pig.

        Don’t worry about eddie, he has proven who and what he is over and over.
        Just use him like we do, and that is to see how the “others” think and to realize how rediculous they can get.

      • eddie47d

        Yes Jana we all have to keep learning “truth from false” but I will still take the pig.

      • http://aol wayne a

    • Andy Howey

      I like your idea. However, it could be improved a little. Why waste the pigs? Have a BBQ and roast the pigs lechon-style right there on site. Offer the meat to passers-by for free in the name of freedom.

      • Jana

        Someone needs to invent bacon scented spray. Or we could start carrying around pigs blood in a spray bottle for emergencies. :)

      Bill,
      Yes! Pig shit on the Koran.
      General Black Jack Pershing was right!

    • Granny Mae

      Bill,

      A man after my own heart ! I have said the same thing for ever so long ! My husband said they should put a pig on every airplane and that would stop their travel by air !

    • Munir Munshey

      Pigs are filthy and dirty. Your post suggests that you agree! You are just being spiteful. Did Jesus think Pigs are not dirty? Did he ever eat Pork?

      • Andy Howey

        Munir: Maybe he did or maybe he didn’t. The Bible doesn’t tell one way or the other. However, he certainly didn’t promote pedophilia, stoning of accused women, wars for the purpose of enriching a chief “prophet”, or any of the other hogwash that is written in the Quran.

        I think that Muslims worry way too much about physical/ritual purity and not nearly enough about morality. For example, one of the Ten Commandments is “Thou shalt not bear false witness against your neighbor.” However, according to Islam, lying (Taqiya) is perfectly okay, if it furthers the agenda of Islam. How is that moral? Islam lacks even basic honesty and decency.

      • Munir Munshey

        That is the false propaganda of the opponents of Islam against Islam. Christians are adept at lying. The German Nazi Christians lied against the British Christians, and the Russian Christians against both the Germans and the British. All the lying techniques learned during the WW@, and WW1, and the Napoleanic wars, the Prussian wars, the Reformist Wars, etc. etc. etc, are now being used against Islam.

      • coal miner

        Munir,
        You are right again.This is beginning to sound like a repeat of Nazi Germany.Hatred against Muslims in the land of the free ,years ago hatred against communist and Jews.When will it end?

        “The streets of our country are in turmoil. The universities are filled with students rebelling and rioting. Communists are seeking to destroy our country. Russia is threatening us with her might, and the Republic is in danger. Yes – danger from within and without. We need law and order! Without it our nation cannot survive.” -Adolf Hitler

        Hitler hated Communists. He thought that the goal of economics should be efficiency and not equality (he believed economic equality was WRONG) and that Communists were “rabble rousers” who interfered with patriotic production.

        Communists were the very first group to qualify for sentencing to death camps, even before Jews and Gypsies. This is because Hitler thought Communism was a Jewish conspiracy to take power. He recognized that Karl Marx, the founder of Communist philosophy, had been 100% ethnically Jewish, although an Athiest, and that many Jews in Germany were Communists. Non-Jewish Communists, according to Hitler, were even worse, they were “race traitors” (Himmler quotes) who wished to share power and wealth due the Aryans with “mud-people”.

      • Andy Howey

        False propaganda, Munir? Aisha, favorite female possession of your beloved Mohammed, was only 6 when he “married” her. He supposedly had the “courtesy” to wait until she was 9 before he consumated the “marriage” with her. If I remember correctly, he was over 40 at the time. How is that not pedophilia? If he did that now in a civilized country, he’d spend a lot of time in prison and then be wearing a GPS ankle bracelet for life afterwards, if the girl’s family hadn’t justifiably killed him first.

      • coal miner

        Munir Munshey,

        Munir, you are well versed in history.Hitler was a real good Christian.

        Hitler Was a Christian

        The Holocaust was caused by Christian fundamentalism:

        History is currently being distorted by the millions of Christians who lie to have us believe that the Holocaust was not a Christian deed. Through subterfuge and concealment, many of today’s Church leaders and faithful Christians have camouflaged the Christianity of Adolf Hitler and have attempted to mark him an atheist, a pagan cult worshipper, or a false Christian in order to place his misdeeds on those with out Jesus. However, from the earliest formation of the Nazi party and throughout the period of conquest and growth, Hitler expressed his Christian support to the German citizenry and soldiers. Those who would make Hitler an atheist should turn their eyes to history books before they address their pews and chat rooms.

        Considering that Christianity has thus far been incapable of producing an unbiased, educated follower which speaks the truth, (I haven’t encountered any), I have been forced to dispel the myth by writing this essay. It is not until I bring up his speeches, my personal info on the Nazi regime and their tactics that a Christian will begin to question what their clergy told them. (I am the offspring of a German soldier. My Opa served under Hitler in WW2 and my father was raised during the time of the Nazi regime. This is important information to take into consideration for I am privy to some info that most Americans do not know. It is common for American media and education institutions to lie to their citizens concerning Nazi Germany.) So, in presenting this information I must break it into four parts: 1) Facts about Hitler and his involvement with the Church. 2) How the Church was the catalyst for anti- Semitism. 3) Facts concerning how the Nazi regime drilled these beliefs into Germanic society. 4) Quotes Hitler made which prove he had a disdain for atheism/occultism, upheld his Christian faith, and hated Jews due to his Christianity.

        Hitler’s involvement with the Church:

        a) Hitler was baptized as Roman Catholic during infancy in Austria.

        b) As Hitler approached boyhood he attended a monastery school. (On his way to school young Adolf daily observed a stone arch which was carved with the monastery’s coat of arms bearing a swastika.)

        c) Hitler was a communicant and an altar boy in the Catholic Church.

        d) As a young man he was confirmed as a “soldier of Christ.” His most ardent goal at the time was to become a priest. Hitler writes of his love for the church and clergy: “I had excellent opportunity to intoxicate myself with the solemn splendor of the brilliant church festivals. As was only natural, the abbot seemed to me, as the village priest had once seemed to my father, the highest and most desirable ideal.” -Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

        e) Hitler was NEVER excommunicated nor condemned by his church. Matter of fact the Church felt he was JUST and “avenging for God” in attacking the Jews for they deemed the Semites the killers of Jesus.

        f) Hitler, Franco and Mussolini were given VETO power over whom the pope could appoint as a bishop in Germany, Spain and Italy. In turn they surtaxed the Catholics and gave the money to the Vatican. Hitler wrote a speech in which he talks about this alliance, this is an excerpt: “The fact that the Vatican is concluding a treaty with the new Germany means the acknowledgement of the National Socialist state by the Catholic Church. This treaty shows the whole world clearly and unequivocally that the assertion that National Socialism [Nazism] is hostile to religion is a lie.” Adolf Hitler, 22 July 1933, writing to the Nazi Party

        g) Hitler worked CLOSELY with Pope Pius in converting Germanic society and supporting the church. The Church absorbed Nazi ideals and preached them as part of their sermons in turn Hitler placed Catholic teachings in public education. This photo depicts Hitler with Archbishop Cesare Orsenigo, the papal nuncio in Berlin. It was taken On April 20, 1939, when Orsenigo celebrated Hitler’s birthday. The celebrations were initiated by Pacelli (Pope Pius XII) and became a tradition.

        Each April 20, Cardinal Bertram of Berlin was to send “warmest congratulations to the Fuhrer in the name of the bishops and the dioceses in Germany with “fervent prayers which the Catholics of Germany are sending to heaven on their altars.” (If you would like to know more about the secret dealings of Hitler and the Pope I recommend you get a book titled: Hitler’s Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII, by John Cornwell)

        h) Due to Hitler’s involvement with the Church he began enacting doctrines of the Church as law. He outlawed all abortion, raged a death war on all homosexuals, and demanded corporal punishment in schools and home. Many times Hitler addressed the church and promised that Germany would implement its teachings: “The National Socialist State professes its allegiance to positive Christianity. It will be its honest endeavor to protect both the great Christian Confessions in their rights, to secure them from interference with their doctrines (Lehren), and in their duties to constitute a harmony with the views and the exigencies of the State of today.” –Adolf Hitler, on 26 June 1934, to Catholic bishops to assure them that he would take action against the new pagan propaganda “Providence has caused me to be Catholic, and I know therefore how to handle this Church.” -Adolf Hitler, reportedly to have said in Berlin in 1936 on the enmity of the Catholic Church to National Socialism

        How Christianity was the catalyst of the Holocaust:

        Hitler’s anti-Semitism grew out of his Christian education. Austria and Germany were majorly Christian during his time and they held the belief that Jews were an inferior status to Aryan Christians. The Christians blamed the Jews for the killing of Jesus. Jewish hatred did not actually spring from Hitler, it came from the preaching of Catholic priests and Protestant ministers throughout Germany for hundreds of years. The Protestant leader, Martin Luther, himself, held a livid hatred for Jews and their Jewish religion. In his book, “On the Jews and their Lies,” Luther set the standard for Jewish hatred in Protestant Germany up until World War 2. Hitler expressed a great admiration for Martin Luther constantly quoting his works and beliefs.

        Now, you must remember before Hitler rose to Chancellor of Germany the country was in a deep economic depression due to the Versailles treaty. The Versailles treaty demanded that Germans made financial reparations for the previous war and Germany simply was not self sufficient enough in order to pay the debt. Hitler was the leader that raised Germany out of the depression and brought them back to a world recognized power. Due to his annulment of the financial woes of the Germanic people he became their redeemer and they anointed him as the leader of the German Reich Christian Church in 1933. This placed him in power of the German Christian Socialist movement which legislates their political and religious agendas. It united all denominations, mainly the Protestant/Catholic and Lutheran people to instill faith in a national Christianity.

        How the Nazi Regime converted the people:

        a) In the 1920s, Hitler’s German Workers’ Party (pre Nazi term) adopted a “Programme” with twenty-five points (the Nazi version of a constitution). In point twenty-four, their intent clearly demonstrates, from the very beginning, their stand in favor of a “positive” Christianity: “We demand liberty for all religious denominations in the State, so far as they are not a danger to it and do not militate against the morality and moral sense of the German race. The Party, as such, stands for positive Christianity, but does not bind itself in the matter of creed to any particular confession…”

        b) The Nazi regime started a youth movement which preached its agenda to impressionable children. Hitler backed up the notion that all people need faith and religious education: “By helping to raise man above the level of bestial vegetation, faith contributes in reality to the securing and safeguarding of his existence. Take away from present-day mankind its education-based, religious- dogmatic principles– or, practically speaking, ethical-moral principles– by abolishing this religious education, but without replacing it by an equivalent, and the result will be a grave shock to the foundations of their existence.” – Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

        c) The Nazi regime began to control schools insisting that Christianity was taught.

        d) The Nazi regime included anti-Semitic Christian writings in textbooks and they were not removed from Christian doctrines until 1961.

        e) The Nazi regime having full blown power over the people began to forcibly convert all its military.

        f) The Nazi regime forced the German soldiers to wear religious symbols such as the swastika and they placed religious sayings on military gear. An example here is this German army belt buckle (I believe my Opa had one) which reads “Gott Mit Uns”. For those of you who do not speak German it is translated as “God With Us”.

        g) The German troops were often forced to get sprinkled with holy water and listen to a sermon by a Catholic priest before going out on a maneuver.

        h) The Nazis created a secret service called the “SS Reich” that would act as spies on the dealings of other citizens. If anyone was suspected of heresy (Going not only against the Socialist party but CHURCH DOCTRINE) they would be prosecuted.

        Quotes from Hitler:

        Hitler’s speeches and proclamations, even more clearly, reveal his faith and feelings toward a Christianized Germany. Nazism presents an embarrassment to Christianity and demonstrates the danger of their faith So they try to pin him on other theistic views. The following words from Hitler show his disdain for atheism, and pagan cults, and reveal the strength of his Christian feelings:

        “National Socialism is not a cult-movement– a movement for worship; it is exclusively a ‘volkic’ political doctrine based upon racial principles. In its purpose there is no mystic cult, only the care and leadership of a people defined by a common blood-relationship… We will not allow mystically- minded occult folk with a passion for exploring the secrets of the world beyond to steal into our Movement. Such folk are not National Socialists, but something else– in any case something which has nothing to do with us. At the head of our programme there stand no secret surmisings but clear-cut perception and straightforward profession of belief. But since we set as the central point of this perception and of this profession of belief the maintenance and hence the security for the future of a being formed by God, we thus serve the maintenance of a divine work and fulfill a divine will– not in the secret twilight of a new house of worship, but openly before the face of the Lord… Our worship is exclusively the cultivation of the natural, and for that reason, because natural, therefore God-willed. Our humility is the unconditional submission before the divine laws of existence so far as they are known to us men.” -Adolf Hitler, in Nuremberg on 6 Sept.1938. [Christians have always accused Hitler of believing in pagan cult mythology. What is written here clearly expresses his stand against cults.]

        “We were convinced that the people needs and requires this faith. We have therefore undertaken the fight against the atheistic movement, and that not merely with a few theoretical declarations: we have stamped it out.” -Adolf Hitler, in a speech in Berlin on 24 Oct. 1933 [This statement clearly refutes modern Christians who claim Hitler as favoring atheism. Hitler wanted to form a society in which ALL people worshipped Jesus and considered any questioning of such to be heresy. The Holocaust was like a modern inquisition, killing all who did not accept Jesus. Though more Jews were killed then any other it should be noted that MANY ARYAN pagans and atheists were murdered for their non-belief in Christ.]

        Here Hitler uses the Bible and his Christianity in order to attack the Jews and uphold his anti-Semitism:

        “My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow my self to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows . For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people.” –Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)

        “Christianity could not content itself with building up its own altar; it was absolutely forced to undertake the destruction of the heathen altars. Only from this fanatical intolerance could its apodictic faith take form; this intolerance is, in fact, its absolute presupposition.” -Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (It is quite obvious here that Hitler is referring to destructing the Judaism alters on which Christianity was founded.)

        “The personification of the devil as the symbol of all evil assumes the living shape of the Jew.” -Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (The idea of the devil and the Jew came out of medieval anti-Jewish beliefs based on interpretations from the Bible. Martin Luther, and teachers after him, continued this “tradition” up until the 20th century.)

        “With satanic joy in his face, the black-haired Jewish youth lurks in wait for the unsuspecting girl whom he defiles with his blood, thus stealing her from her people.” -Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (It is common in war for one race to rape another so that they can “defile” the race and assimilate their own. Hitler speaks about this very tactic here.)

        “The best characterization is provided by the product of this religious education, the Jew himself. His life is only of this world, and his spirit is inwardly as alien to true Christianity as his nature two thousand years previous was to the great founder of the new doctrine. Of course, the latter made no secret of his attitude toward the Jewish people, and when necessary he even took the whip to drive from the temple of the Lord this adversary of all humanity, who then as always saw in religion nothing but an instrument for his business existence. In return, Christ was nailed to the cross, while our present- day party Christians debase themselves to begging for Jewish votes at elections and later try to arrange political swindles with atheistic Jewish parties– and this against their own nation.”–Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

        “…the fall of man in paradise has always been followed by his expulsion.” -Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (See Genesis Chapter 3 where humankind is cast from Eden for their sins. Hitler compares this to the need to exterminate the Jews for their sin against Christ.)

        “Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord.” –Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)

        “The anti-Semitism of the new movement [Christian Social movement] was based on religious ideas instead of racial knowledge.” –Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (This quote is very interesting for it disperses the idea that Hitler raged war due to being an Aryan supremacist. He states quite clearly that he has a problem with Jews for their belief not race. That is why many German Jews died in WW2 regardless of their Aryan nationality.)

        “Only in the steady and constant application of force lies the very first prerequisite for success. This persistence, however, can always and only arise from a definite spiritual conviction. Any violence which does not spring from a firm, spiritual base, will be wavering and uncertain.” –Adolf Hitler Mein Kampf (Here Hitler is admitting that his war against the Jews were so successful because of his strong Christian Spirituality.)

        Quotes from Other Nazis about Hitler and Religion:

        “Around 1937, when Hitler heard that at the instigation of the party and the SS vast numbers of his followers had left the church because it was obstinately opposing his plans, he nevertheless ordered his chief associates, above all Goering and Gobbels, to remain members of the church. He too would remain a member of the Catholic Church, he said, although he had no real attachment to it. And in fact he remained in the church until his suicide.” (Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer page 95-96)

        Hooray for you, Coal Miner. In your eagerness to defend Munir, you have grabbed some of the most inane crap imaginable. The web site you pulled this from promotes atheism, and the person who originally came up with this spew was quite obviously taking material out of context and twisting to suit her purpose. What does that sound like? Hmm, let me think. Why, Islam, of course.

        You insult Islam; others can insult your religion.

        I think Christianity lacks even the notions of ritual purity, or ritual purity or purity, period.

        All they are interested in is the blood of Jesus. They sin and say, “Charge it! My God already paid for this sin. He died for it”.

        Christians think blood of God is the detergent to wash sins.

        Isn’t God the most Merciful? Why does he require an innocent one to die such a horrible death, before God would begin to accept petitions of Mercy? Isn’t he God? Can he not forgive without spilling blood?

        Think about it. Pagans believed in human sacrifice. So do the Christians, now! In fact they raised the notion of human sacrifice several notches. They say the one who died was not human; he was God! That makes it God sacrifice. Haven’t they confused God with Dracula!

        Islam is the truth; it says forgiveness is free! no body has to die! no blood need be spilled. Just say you are sorry, and be sorry! Your sins will be forgiven! Guaranteed!

        The gravest sin is to assign a son for God. But even that grave sin can be forgiven. Sincerity is the pre-requisit.

        “no body has to die! no blood need be spilled.”??? Maybe no Muslim need die. However, that doesn’t mean that Islam doesn’t require blood sacrifices — it has just substituted the need for the cleansing blood of Christ with the need for human sacrifice. Yes, that’s right, Islam condones and even requires human sacrifice — people they’ve conquered, apostates who convert to “another” religion, women who don’t submit, etc. Face it, Munir, Islam is no better than the paganism you condemn.

      • http://naver samurai

        Very true Andy! What should we expect from a religion based on killing and conquest? It’s a truly false faith and that’s all that needs to be said. FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

      • Munir Munshey

        Actually it is Christianity that is based on killing. A man ate the forbidden fruit. That caused all men to be sinners. BLOOD MUST BE SPILLED. That is the Blood atonement, right? The “wages of sins is death” right?

        So One man, an innocent man, an impeccably conceived man must die, right?

        Enter the dogma of God “coming over” Mary,impregnating her, and “begetting” a son. Right?

        That one man’s death will be accepted in lieu of the entire humanity dying, right?

        Check again, that exactly is what human sacrifice means. They were the pagans.

        The filth increases when you say that the man being sacrificed is not a man but God! That makes it God sacrifice.

        How can you swallow all that nonsense!

      • Munir Munshey

        Andy,

        Actually it is Christianity that is almost a pagan religion.

        The hallmark of paganism is the belief in the son of God.

        Every single pagan religion believed that God had a son, or sons.

        There does not exist any pagan religion that does not have this belief.

        The Greeks, the Romans, the Egyptians, The Indians, and all others believed that God procreated.

        Does Christianity believes so? You tell me!

        If you ponder upon that you would be left with no choice but to accept that Christianity is heavily influenced, to say the least, by pagan religions

      • http://naver samurai

        Sorry, but Christ died on the cross for the forgiveness of our sins. Waht did Mohammed do that was so great? Kill, steal, rape, what? The only fantasy storues here are the ones in the koran. Nothing in the koran has been proven factual, but there are things that have been proven from the Bible. They found Noah’s Ark on Mt Ararat in Turkey and the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah. What did they find from the koran? NOTHING! Jesus is the SON OF GOD, not Muhammed! Muhammed was just a lier and was responsible for the starting of 100′s of years of wars across the Middle East, North Africa, and some areas of Europe. Gee, doesn’t really sound like a religion of peace to me. FOR GOD (not allah) AND COUNTRY!

      • Andy Howey

        Munir: If, as you falsely claim, Christianity is a pagan religion, then why did the all-wise Mohammed plagiarize so much from it? The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden comes from the Book of Genesis, which is originally Jewish. Are you claiming that the Hebrew religion, from which Mohammed also plagiarized a lot, is also a pagan religion. That’s very funny coming from people who worship a rock. Did you know that Allah is not a solo “god”? In reality, Allah is first among an entire pantheon of Arabic “gods”. So, given that Islam has stolen and perverted a good deal of its theology from religions that you claim to be paganistic, and that the “god” that you “honor” is merely one of a pantheon, what does that say about the nature of Islam. It is a paganistic ideology that, as I pointed out earlier, depends on human sacrifice.

        Sorry dude, but if you read the Bokk of Acts you’ll see that you are wrong. Peter was in Joppa and was praying, but after a certain time he became hungry. The Lord sent down something looking like a white sheet from heaven, spread out by it’s four corners. Peter saw this 3 times and each time the Lord said: “Peter, arise, slay, and eat.” Peter said that he couldn’t because he had never eaten anything that wasn’t concidered clean. God said: “What I have called clean, thou shalt not call unclean.” This means pigs too, moron! FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

  • Robin from Arcadia, IN

    I agree that it is not the right thing to do, but neither is death to Christians. They are not a peaceful group as they claim to be. I really believe that cowering to be ‘politically correct’ has led to many disturbing outcomes, one of which is the slippery slope our nation is on by taking God out of our everyday lives! If the Muslims want to be in this country, which apparently they do because they want to show dominance of the United States by putting a mosque near where the twin towers once stood before they took them down and all the people in them, then they had better understand what our country is really all about. Burning their Qurans is a right that we have. I am not saying that it is tasteful, but that right should not be challenged. Where is the ACLU? Why are they not being their usual bully self by demanding that our rights not be questioned? Oh… They only pick the battles they want to fight for; I forgot.

    • eddie47d

      All lawyers pick the battles they think they can win and they do it for lots of money. Most lawyers shun any cases they might loose unless court appointed. The ACLU generally doesn’t go out and look for high profile cases. The individual or organization usually go to them for assistance.The nature of the case is what makes it high profile. Unlike most lawyers they depend on donations and hardly do it to become rich. Would You stick you neck out for someone else’s rights not knowing if you could afford to do so. The ACLU does it all the time.

      • Andy Howey

        eddie47d: You hit the nail on the head — the ACLU picks and chooses which and whose rights they will defend. If it were a Muslim Imam burning bibles, they’d be all over it almost before reports of it hit the airwaves. But this is about a white christian minister — they won’t touch it with a 10-mile pole. It doesn’t further their agenda. One needs to be non-white, feminist, alternate-lifestyle, and/or anti-American, and preferably non-Christian, for the ACLU to be interested.

After this, he fool moved away and the aclu went to court over it. The mayor tried everything he could to work out some kind of agreement with them, but they wouldn’t budge. After everything was done, it seems that the police found out this fool had done the same thing 5 – 6 times before in two states, Indiana and Kentucky. He was also found to be taking money from them, as his bank records showed a deposit after filing a complaint in court. “I shall set up an institution that will seek to warp and/or destroy the U.S. Constitution.” That was said by the founder of the aclu. He was an admitted communist and atheist, so waht’s your point edduh? FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

They are trying to instill fear in us and bolster up their own courage. The only reason they are burning our flag is because they are afraid of us and have GREAT FEAR in what we stand for, because they know we get our freedom from God, and they have tremendous fear of our God.

        Patricia.. while you’re right about the motives of the Bush administration it is no different than the motives or previous or present administrations. It’ just that Bush and his family benefited directly from this and Obama, Clinton and others, it was their handlers got the benefits (and they got to be president). The issues in the mid east were created way before Bush. “Terrorism” domestic (Timothy Mcveigh) and external (you name it) is a direct result of governmental policies (usually dictated by the needs of the elite). now throw in the religious finger pointing with Zionism at the forefront and you’re got what George Carlin would have called a “Mongolian Cluster F&cK”

        Clair,
        The actions of one man and one church should not have that much input. The Muslims got all bent out of shape when someone tried to make a cartoon with Muhammad. They even put out a death sentence on the man who DARED draw that cartoon. How many cartoons have they used with Christian emblems?
        Are these people so shallow that they would do harm to others because of one persons actions? If this is the case maybe this Pastor is doing a good thing by waking up the people of this country who are naivly thinking that this religion is a religion of peace. We bend over backwards for this religion while our rights as Christians keep getting taken away.
        They come into a country very meekly and start with a few baby steps. The next thing, when they get their population built up, they start pushing for more rights, and using the host country’s laws to get their laws implemented. Then as they get momentum, they start taking over. Look at some of our own cities here in the US where this is happening right now. Look at England, and France who are having a terrible time with this now also.

The teachings of Christ were hijacked by the First Council of Nicaea. All the branches of Christianity that arose from that, never mind the catholic church are perversions of the holy spirit. I was touched by the holy spirit in my 20′s. I tried to ignore the calling and spent a life of turmoil until I acknowledged my experience and formed my life around what I was shown. I can guarantee you Samurai.. all your venom and sureness about your own righteousness is an anathema to the holy spirit. Until you have your own personal connection with the holy spirit all you can do is spout the words of others and swallow their interpretations of the bible, including my own, you will be nothing but a tool.

        Others might and do think Christianity is a false religion. Muslims consider themselves the spiritual inheritors and followers of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus. They are all Muslim prophets. They think the Israelites of the past were Muslims, and the Churches of modern times represent the temples of the past, and the statues and pictures of Jesus are the idols. Surely, you cannot be sure that Jesus looked anything like those statues, can you?

      • http://naver samurai

        Munir, they may consider themselves that way, but they are not. The first muslim ever recorded in the Bible was in the book of Genesis named Ishmael. He was the product of Haggar, an Egyptian. God had Abraham kick them out, because they were not his people. That is where the muslims and Jews separated.

        How do you figure Jesus? They’re “messiah” is a false prophet named Mohammed. If you look at his history and the history of Islam, you’ll find that they are very different. FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

        Does Christianity teach you that slaves girls are inferior and hate-worthy? People are all equal, are they not?

If Christianity really teaches you that a slave girl and her children are hate-worthy, then either Christianity is wrong, or else you are wrong and Christianity does not teach that.

        Where did slavery come from? You have to go back before 1865 to come up with something? We believe hate slavery and not the slave. Remember, islam still believes in slavery and they ARE treated like lower class citizens. Ask the people in the Darfur region of the Sudan, or northern Nigeria, southern Thailand, India, Israel, etc., they ARE treated as infidels and are mercilessly attacked by wackos wearing bombs and blowing themselves up. Islam doesn’t care who they kill as long as it is for the glory of their false god allah! Women are also treated as property and are discriminated against, so what’s your point? I suggest you really read that koran of yours and look deeper into the history of islam, you may want to change what you believe. FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

      • Munir Munshey

        Perhaps you missed the point, Samurai.

        You said Hagar was inferior to Sarah and so Islam is inferior. That means you think a former slave girl, the wife of Abraham, was inferior merely because she was a slave. The point: most Americans, and indeed most Christians are NOT the physical descendants of Abraham. It is not about the race anyway, or is it?

        The Koran which you refuse to read, is full of instructions to free slaves. Some Muslims may have ignored the instructions, but look at what the Christians did. They annihilated an entire people, the Native Americans and called it the “work of God”. They enslaved all blacks; bought them bred them and sold them. The Christians enslaved the whole world.

        The Christians enslaved the people of India from 1725 AD to 1947 AD. perpetrated untold misery on them spent billions to convert people to Christianity, passed laws to facilitate the conversion, and wrote books detailing what they did to convert people. 96% of India were Hindus when the Christians enslaved them. That translates into 300 million slaves in India whom despite all the savagery and money and two centuries of oppression, they could not convert.

      • Andy Howey

        Munir: You are mistaking the actions of people who claim to act in the name of Christianity with the ideals of Christianity.

        Munir: If Muslims believe that Christians and Jews have received scripture from God, then why do they either try to force Christians and Muslims to convert to Islam or become dhimmi, or, failing that persecute and kill them. If Allah is so all-wise and so all-merciful, then why does this happen? Is it because someone is misinterpreting the Quran? If so, then Muslim conquerors, starting with your beloved Mohammed (may curses be upon him) — the very guy who dreamed up the Quran, have been misinterpreting the Quran from the very beginning. Answer that, if you can.

      • http://naver samurai

        Yes and don’t forget, Mohammed said that an angel of heaven told him to write it. The angel we all know was named Lucifer. Lucifer is another name for satan. Munir thinks that the koran is a holy work? How can it be from heaven when they enslave their own women, kill african muslims in southern Sudan because of their race, kill christians in Darfur because of their religion, attack Israel because they are Jews, supported the Nazis in their efforts to destroy the Jews (This is taken from history books on modern history of Egypt), attacking innocent people in southern Thailand because they are a different religion, attack targets of opportunity (schools, churches, temples, malls, buses, etc.) that would tally up a higher body count, support terrorism, etc. How could it be holy and true if these people do, finance, and or support such actions? The last kingdom that was Persian was conquered by the sword for the glory of allah. Why? Because they had a different religion and islam preaches the destruction of anyone or anything not muslim, so what is you mental malfunction on this point? I say let them come here and try something in my hometown. We may not be able to stop them from coming, but we can send them home in 6 foot long by 30 inch wide boxes. FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

      • Andy Howey

        I’ve often wondered how feasible it would be to anti-proselytize (for lack of a better term) the people of the Persian nations (Iran, Afghanistan, Tadzhikistan, and maybe Pakistan (if not part of Persia, then separately)), the Turkic nations (Turkey, Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan), etc. and remind them of the cultures they had before the yoke of Islam was set upon their necks, to find a way to create a popular uprising to throw off Islam and assume their former ways of life.

      And decide for yourself if there’s really a problem.
      In every case of some perceived slight of islam they say they are going to kill us. Nothing we could ever do would make them happy so let them show the power of their diety.
      If their diety is real, no fire will occur.

      • Munir Munshey

        Many verses in the bible are known not to there in the first century. Catholic bible has 73 books, Protestant bible has only 66. So either the Catholics included in their “word of God” 7 books that were not the words of God, or the protestants deleted 7 books from their bible, that were the words of God. In addition the bible of the Greek Orthodox is different as well as the Mormons’. All scholars acknowledge additions and deletions in the bible. any bible. The first two translators of the bible into English were tried, convicted, and punished. Their bodies were dug up, burnt and thrown into the river.

      • http://naver samurai

        Actually, all the Catholics I know have the same Bible I do, only 66 books. There may have been more, but the ones that were taken out was because there was no proof of that person existing. The Mormons are different as they have also the Book of Mormon. It’s not a factual book, but they believe in it. You’re now doing what the infidel koran is telling you to do. Attack us and anything not muslim. Gee, your being a good follower of the false prophet, aren’t you? FOR GOD (not allah) AND COUNTRY!

      DAVE H,we should set a better example? you got to be kidding! the muslim religion is the most violent,controlling religion in the world.if the pastor and his church members decides to burn the koran, they have that right,guaranteed by our constitution! i hope they follow through and do it!

      • Jana

        wayne a,
        You are right. Actually, the people of Iraq thought American were weak just because they were “trying to set a better example”. These people do think Americans are weak if we turn the other cheek and keep letting them walk all over us. The Iraqi’s used to ask my relative who was over there, who are these Democrats in your country that are cowards? What are they?
        These Muslims that are pushing their ways onto us are bullies and will take any advantage they can. Have you ever seen a bully stop because someone gave in to them? No, they just get worse.
        At least this pastor was a man and he made a stand, and it looks like it worked. He opened the eyes of a lot of people.
        Praise God for men like this pastor who helps to open the eyes of the American people.

        has anyone thought that this koran burning is a setup by the government to start a religious war to get us and the muslims fighting? why is the media playing this up so much and it’s going to be christians who will get the blowback as most people now don’t like the christians they will call us intolerant bigots, I don’t trust this pastor I think he’s being paid to do this otherwise he’d be afraid for his life, islam is a horrible religion and I don’t like it and the idea of burning korans is appealing to me to but if it gets out of hand the consqenses will be on us and everyone knows there trying to divide us everyway they can and keep us all fighting it’ll be interesting to see how all this plays out hope it don’t turn into a holy war.

    The Christians and the Muslims would agree: The God of the Christians is a Merciful and a Tolerant God.
    That merciful and tolerant God has at least 50 hate-mongering adherants who are hell bent upon sending a message to a billion and a half people that Christians hate Muslims. The tempers and the temperatures of both Muslims and Christians would rise. What follows might be the global warming of the other kind.

    • spike

      Well, on the one hand, the Muslims all over the world have been known to do a little hatemongering themselves…on 9/ll most notably, Flags were burning all over the Arab world…However, I don’t think we should stoop to their level, and I don’t think we should feed into their sickness. Difficult to say what Jesus would do, because I know what he has to say about the Quaran (sp) and the Muslim “religion”…
      he’d say the truth, that it’s not the word of God…

      • Jana

        Munir Munshey,

        I am not saying I would participate in such an ‘event’, but I would like to add a little different spin to all of this.

        When we went to Saudi in 2001, the Saudi Gov’t. made the US burn many Bibles that were brought in to that country. Yes, we had to burn them ourselves. In Muslim countries they burn the Christian Churches as well as torture, rape and murder the Christians that are living in that country.

        On 9-11 many of our supposed Muslim Americans were seen and heard celebrating over the perceived ‘victory’ that happened when the towers went down.

        Yes it seems insensitive to burn the Koran (Qur’an) but its also insensitive for Imam Rauf to keep insisting on building the Cordoba (sp?) Center. The very name they are using is even an insult.

        It is also an insult to burn the American flag, but it is still done as it is legal. We see Muslims as well as illegals stepping all over the flag and burning it all of the time in demonstrations.

        It seems its alright to do these things to us, and I know your mandate of lying to the infidels and telling them whatever it is they want to hear is ok, as long as you end up getting your way, and that you consider us the infidels.

        I also hear all of the time that we serve the same God, and BY YOUR OWN STATEMENT and from my studies of the Qur’an and the Hadiths etc. I know we do not. You stated, ” The Christians and the Muslims would agree: The God of the Christians is a Merciful and a Tolerant God.”

        Over and over in the Old Testament which is still viable for today, the Christian God, the One True God, says his name is Jealous, and that He is a Jealous God. He does not want us associating with false gods. Yes, He is a toleralnt God, thank goodness, but his patience as well as the American people’s patience can wear out. It wears out when we are the ones that are always giving in, it wears out when we see no compassion from the Muslims who keep pushing and pushing to get thier way no matter who it hurts.

        This Florida Pastor is just one man, and from what you can read does not have the support from the rest of us, so if you all would use this one man to start something like what you just threatened and I quote you, ” What follows might be the global warming of the other kind.”, shows exactly the kind of people you are.

        You all keep claiming Islam is a religion of peace, then I say prove it. Act on it and show us that it is. You all show a little tolerance here too.

        Jana,

        Lee L,
        Then you don’t know everything. I said the US Gov.’t had to burn Bibles that had been brought in.
        I also knew people that were there and they didn’t have any trouble either, as they lived in the AMERICAN SECTOR.
        I had a girl friend that lived there with her husband who worked for a company that also employed the Saudi’s.
        There were 5 women that wanted to go to town but could not go unless they were escorted by a man. Her husband asked a local who was a friend and colleague who he trusted to escort the wives. They were back by noon, but the man did not show up for work till after 3 that afternoon and they asked him where he had been. He answered very indignantly that he had to go home and bathe because he had sat next to a dirty woman. My friend was that woman, and she said “I was not dirty”. Her husband had asked him because he could trust him to take care of his wife, but they found out the man thought he had been disgraced.
        Don’t be so naive!

      • slickporsche

        Good post and to the point. I will be burning several koran in the name of the United States of America and the God we serve. Every one of you that claim to love America, needs to step up to the plate and show these barbarians that we do no like them or need them. GET THE HELL OUT OF MY COUNTRY! Within 5 years of getting that Mosque built in New York, you can bet they will be wanting sheriah law. We have reached that point in America where the Muslims are going to start demanding more and if not there will be lots of trouble like you read about in other countries. Please do soak a Koran in kerosene over night. It will burn bright. Make sure that if you get into a cab driven by a Muslim you get out and find another. If you pull into a convenience store and find out is is Muslim owned, drive away.Do not help the Muslims find success in this country.

      • Kaye

        The Islamic religion is not a benign one, nor are the Muslims good people.
        Just look at what Europe is now facing owing to their good will and tolerance of these people. We need to stop the Islamic threat while we still can. Our nation has never faced anything like this in our history. We have assimilated and accomodated many a different immigrant of several nations and religions, albeit with some struggle, but the Moslems don’t intend to and never have intended to nor never will assimilate. They fully intend to take us over.
        Check out what the Australian Prime Minister said about those people recently. I envy Australias isolation.
        I’m afraid Christian and Jewish Americans are in for a long hard struggle. I hope we have the resolve and nerve to prevail.

      • Munir Munshey

        It cannot be that Christians are created by one Creator and non-Christians by another. There is but One Creator. Christians think that the One Creator procreated, while the Muslims believe that to procreate, one has to avail the services of another with the opposite sexual persuasion. That they think is impossible.

        When you narrate your personal experiences I agree with you, just as I agree with the Muslims who have their own “these things” to narrate. In order to make peace one has to see and go past and beyond ‘these things’. Muslims consider the non-Muslims ‘Kafirs’ (unbelievers), just as Christians call the non-Christians heathens. For the Christians, the Muslims have a special term _ people of the book. Any religion or system of beliefs worth its salt would have to encourage its adherents to struggle against injustice, tyranny and oppression. Islam is a religion of peace, and some of the reasons for that are:

        God is not just the creator of all humans. God is the Creator of all things. The sun, the moon, in fact every single thing submits to the laws of God. Everything submits to, and obeys God, which is the meaning of the word ‘Muslim’. When a human being also submits voluntarily, he no longer is in conflict with anything else in nature. He is at peace with all. That is why Islam is the religion of peace.

        Even human being has two parts. One part of him functions involuntarily, like the Digestive, Respiratory, and other autonomous systems. Over certain other aspects of him, man has a will. When he submits to God voluntarily in matters where he could choose to defy, his voluntary and involuntary systems become harmonious, and he is at peace. That is why Islam is called the religion of peace.

        Islam insists that this life is a test. Not that rain falls in every life sometimes, but the entire life is a test. Poverty is a test just as much as affluence is. Every single minute of life is a test. The result of the test cannot be announced while one is living. When all human beings destined to live have come and gone, this universe will have served its purpose. It will be destroyed, and replaced by another universe with physical laws very different from that of this one. In that new universe, all human beings will be resurrected in a new body, with his memory and intellect intact. Then all human beings, all at once, shall stand before God to receive the result of the test. This belief presents to the adherent the purpose of existence and explains the phenomenon that is this life. It confers contentment, tranquility and peace. For this reason we say that Islam is the religion of peace.

        This in essence is what the Quran teaches.

      • Munir Munshey

        Muslims in America are not just immigrants; 25% of them are converts. They came to this country on the Mayflower, or brought here in chains. They have as much right on America as you do. It is possible that you may have a change of heart, or one of your relative, and might decide to become Muslims. Someone then might ask you to “go back to your country”. Where would you go?

If they are here fine, but you better go by our laws and ways and not the way of some false prophet muhammed. FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

      • Jana

        Munir,
        The only think I will comment on in all of your meaningless ramblings above is, You said Islam is a religion of peace. Your definition of peace is sure different than our definition, or Webster’s definition or even the ONE TRUE GOD’S definition
        Your definition is to conquer or destroy anyone and everyone that doesn’t agree with you.
        Islam is definitely NOT a religion of peace.

        You did ask what if one of my relatives might become Muslim.
        I will ask you, what if one of your relatives might become Christian.
        We would not kill or hurt our loved one. What would you do?

        11Corinithians 6:14 be ye not unequally yoiked together with UNBELIEVERS: for what fellowship hast RIGHTEOUSNESS with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

        Our leaders including Obama, pelosi, Clinton, Bidon, Reid, all of them are trying to link us up with our enemies, but more importantly God’s enemies. Why are they God’s enemies? Because they do not believe in or on Him. They do not believe His word. God considers anyone even consorting with a false god, or flirting with a false god or doing business with a false god as “WHORING AROUND” These are God’s words.
        Non Christians are always trying to tell us how to act. As Christians we choose to honor and obey our Father with love and respect.
        We don’t go out and kill these people, but we must make it known what they are and who they are and what they stand for. Satan comes in as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. The scripture actually says,
        1Peter 5:8: Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.

        Wow, that sounds like Islam seeking to devour the world for their god satan. So their very actions prove WHO their leader is. They murder woman for being raped, they say its alright to lie to us (taqiyya) and murder us, their leader is a pedophile, they promote violence, they use their children, esp. male children as sex toys, and if they don’t want to be thier sex toy, they throw acid on them. Now they want to come to America and conquer our Great Country for Islam.

        God? God is an English word, is it not? English language is only 600 years old. So what did they call the Creator during the time of Jesus? Certainly not “God”! The word does not exist in Aramaic language, which is what people spoke back then! So what is the word for the Creator in Aramaic? “ELOI, ELOI, Lama sabakhthani” says the bible. This is the only sentence of Aramaic in the bible. How did they pronounce “ELOI”? Just consult any interactive Aramaic pronunciation guide. “ELO” in Aramaic is pronounced, “Al-Law”!

        There is only one Creator, the real one. There just isn’t any other Creator. The creator creates effortlessly and does not procreate. Why would the Creator have a son? Please think! If the Creator had a son _ a sort of a baby-Creator, then there would be two Creators. The old Creator, and the baby-creator.

        Do you not agree that the Creator is only ONE? If that Creator is immortal, why would he need to procreate? You need to, because you will die. The Creator would never die.

        Think about it!

      • Munir Munshey

        Jesus called his God _ Please note, he had a God. The one whom you call God, had a God of his own, and he announced that his God was your God _ ElO. The bible says so. Please note again. That word is in the bible. That Aramaic word is pronounced AL_LAW in Aramaic language. Please check it out. That is exactly what the Muslims call God! Muslims call God exactly what Jesus called his God.

      • http://www.SaveLakeAtitlan.org Duende

        Since I can’t comment directly to Munir’s statement about the creator not having a son, I’m more of a mind that he had an enormous amount of children.. we are all children of God. The image we are created in is not of two arms and a leg but in our hearts. When our hearts are bitter, regardless of our “reasoning” we are removing ourselves from his grace.

      • Andy Howey

        Munir: Jesus is God in the form of the Son. He cried out “Oh my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” during his Passion because he had chosen, for our sake, to become human through being born of the Virgin Mary and to experience the human condition and then offer himself up as the perfect sacrifice to atone for our sins. After he was crucified (yes, I know that the Quran denies this), he rose from the dead to (re)assume his eternal form. Islam, which is a bastardization of heterdox Christianity, Judaism, and paganism, has (attempted to) subsume Jesus as a mere prophet instead of admitting his true status.

      • Munir Munshey

        Duende, Wish you had written something I can answer. Insults simply have to be shrugged off.

        Andy, Jesus was the God who was the son? Who was the God who was the father? Who was the one God called the ghost.

        Jesus was God, you say? Then Jesus died? How could God die?

      • Munir Munshey

        Andy,
        Sure I can explain jizya for you.

        Only Muslims can be drafted or conscripted in the army, to defend the Islamic State against the invaders. Islam does not place the obligation upon the non-believers to fight to defend the State, the ideology of which they do not believe.

        They are exempt from military duty, upon payment of a tax called Jizya.

        Of course if they wish to register for military duty voluntarily, then the tax is waived.

        If the non-Muslim cannot afford to pay, even then the jizya is waived.

        The propaganda churned about jizya is of course the Christian propaganda.

        That is the well known teaching of the sharia!

      • http://naver samurai

        Why munir, are we being hypocritical in our beliefs? You said that muslims believe in Jesus, but then you turn around and say that God has no son. How can you believe in Jesus and say God has no son? Jesus is the SON OF GOD, no other way to put it. If you don’t believe in Jesus, why he came to earth, and why he died on the cross, you can NEVER, NEVER, NEVER get into heaven. The muslims will be going somewhere after they die, but there won’t be this lie of 70 virgins waiting for them. Just fire and brimstone in Hades! FOR GOD AND COUNTRY!

        Munir. You think I said something insulting? It certainly wasn’t intended. however if you do think that the metaphorical reference to us all being children of God is an insult then I’m totally at a loss.

      • Jana

        Munir,
        I don’t know if you have noticed it or not, we speak English. Of course God is an English word.
        God said His name is I AM THAT I AM.
        His name is also JEALOUS,
        His name is YHVH pronounced Ya ha veh.
        Only some of the Bible was written in Aramaic. Most of it was written in Hebrew -The Old Testament, and Greek, the New Testament.
        ELOI may have been pronounced Al-LAW, but you have no comprehension Who that is. Your prophet Muhammad was nothing more than a mere man, who was also a pedophile, who thought he heard from God. Finally evolved into someone who decided he was God’s avenger. You all have taken that even further. You have made your god fit what men want to believe and enjoy, which the basic of it is to abuse women and children.. You all use little boys as your sex toys, and your women are no more than breeders and your little girls have no value whatsoever except to be abused. Any logical person who can think and reason would know that this is the total opposite of what the ONE TRUE GOD tells us is true and what a loving God would have us do.
        Islam is totally opposite of what THE ONE TRUE GOD stands for. The only one we know of that believes like you do is called Satan, the Old Dragon, known by many names. Satan also fit’s the picture of Islam, so what are we supposed to think? Especially when we hear you twisting the truth into such distortment.

        One VERY MAJOR POINT however is Jesus while dying on the Cross was quoting scripture, and the people around Him thought he was calling out for Elias. So much for Eloi sounding like Al-Law!
