Now that the mirror has been held up to pastor Jones and he sees how foolish other people think he is I think the event will be canceled but at the same time he will try to save face somehow.

He just had a news conference justifying the Qu'ran burning because 'radical Muslims' burned churches and a hospital filled with Christians in Bosnia

Apparantly, Fred Phelp's Westboro Baptist "Church" is now planning going to burn the Koran, if the other Church calls it off:

"WBC burned the Koran once – and if you sissy brats of Doomed america bully Terry Jones and the Dove World Outreach Center until they change their plans to burn that blasphemous tripe called the Koran, then WBC will burn it (again), to clearly show you some things," the church announced in a news release this week.

I'm not too surprised, and, they have, apparantly, burned it before in Washington, where they were ignored (apparatly, they were ****** off with Jones getting all the attention that they never got). I hope they're ignored again, IMO, the media gave too much attention to Jones and his "Church".

It there a religious/political/social group that Phelp's hasn't ****** off yet?

He's a grade A idiot.

An associate of the pastor who once planned to burn copies of the Koran to mark the 9/11 anniversary says the Rev. Terry Jones is headed to New York aboard a Friday night flight.
K.A. Paul, a Christian evangelist who runs a ministry out of Houston, says he bought the ticket for Jones to fly out of Orlando and land around 10:15 p.m. in New York. Paul provided The Associated Press with a copy of the itinerary and flight confirmation number.

He's playing with fire.
Fanatical Florida pastor Terry Jones spent yesterday flip-flopping on his threat to burn Korans.
First, he promised to ditch the protest. Then he claimed he'd been conned into thinking the Ground Zero mosque would move, and said the book burning would go on. Maybe

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — The son of a pastor who suspended plans to burn copies of the Koran to mark the 9/11 anniversary says Islam's holiest text will not be torched at their Florida church Saturday.
Luke Jones, the son of the Rev. Terry Jones, told reporters Friday that the event will not take place Saturday. But he says he can't speak about whether there will be a future event.

The daughter of controversial U.S. pastor Terry Jones has begged him to abandon his "awful" Koran-burning protest, Der Spiegel reported Friday.
Jones provoked condemnation from world leaders and Muslim groups after announcing plans to mark the ninth anniversary of 9/11 by hosting "International Burn-a-Koran Day" at his church in Gainesville, Fla.

President Barack Obama said Friday that his administration could not ignore the Florida pastor who threatened to burn Korans on Sept. 11 because his actions had the potential to cause “profound damage.”
On Thursday, after receiving a telephone call from U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and claiming to have been assured that a planned mosque would be moved from near Ground Zero in New York City, Florida pastor Terry Jones said that the Koran-burning event would not be taking place.
“The iman,” Jones said -- incorrectly pronouncing the word ‘imam,’ a Muslim cleric -- “has agreed to move the mosque, we have agreed to cancel our event on Saturday, and on Saturday I will be flying up there.”

Well I'm dumb-founded

I honestly don't know what is wrong with some people. Don't they realize that by doing this they are going to outrage Muslims across the world and significantly increase the risk of violent incidents with Muslims of the more extreme variety? I mean, how would they feel if Muslims decided to start burning the Holy Bible?

 

[Rakhel]

You know, I do wonder what would happen if Christians responded in the same manner as Muslims if a Bible were being burned?

 

[kai]

Wouldn't be able to get a bonfire permit?

Ha ha! your right they would ban the bonfire for Health and Safety reasons.Then arrest him for inciting religious hatred.

I am waiting for the media to hunt out any skeletons in Pastor Jones cupboard? If he is not Squeaky clean he is in for it.

Radical Muslims burn bibles, American flags, effigies - and REAL PEOPLE - all the time.

There is no excuse for those guys. Even if the Quran really were just extremist literature-- which it most certainly is not!-- bookburners are still the lowest of the low, barely above Nazis and child molesters. You don't burn books: you discuss your differences with them, you debate ideas, you make philosophical and literary arguments.

I said it elsewhere, and will do so again: Heinrich Heine said, Dort, wo man Bücher verbrennt, verbrennt man am Ende auch Menschen. ("Anywhere they burn books, they will ultimately burn people, also.")

If we all thought the way these people seem to, we would be judging Christianity by them, and burning the Bible because it was clearly the inspiration for hatred and bigots.

To me, this is just another horrible example of why fundamentalism is not only bad religion, it is inexcusable morally. Absolutism can and will inevitably be used to justify anything.

Fortunately, they are just a lunatic fringe group. They can be offensive as hell, but they have no power to hurt that we do not give them. I just hope that Americans can somehow make it clear to the Muslim world that these people are not representative of what America is supposed to be.

thanks so much for you post , i guess the jews in the past suffered by the Nazi , I guess it the turn of the muslims now

And if we supposed that it's true , it's forbiden for any muslim to burn the Bible , because it's contains the name of God , and his prophets .

 

[beenie]

You know, I do wonder what would happen if Christians responded in the same manner as Muslims if a Bible were being burned?

i would be equally disgusted. the reaction of Muslims to Qur'an burning (if they are reacting with violence) is stupid.

denial is dangerous dude. Muslims are doing acts that are forbidden in Islam every minute of the day.
