'Burn Quran Day' an outrage to Muslims
By Akbar Ahmed.

In less than a month, Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center in Florida plans to host "Burn a Quran Day" to mark the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

The pastor, author of the book "Islam is of the Devil," is using the burning to urge American Christians to "stand up" to what he describes as a monolithic Muslim threat. A Facebook page for the event has accrued thousands of "likes" and Jones has said people have been mailing him Qurans to burn.

There's more at CNN.com.

I make no comment, pro or con. I found it, I figured it would stir up some pretty good discussion.

Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

I posted on this some weeks ago, on the title "Buy a Quran Day."

On the premise that most of the book burners probably do not own a copy of the Quran, and will hence buy one specifically for the event.

Sorry I missed your thread, Anthony. RWED is one of my 4 or 5 top sources of news, but I must have missed the bus that day...

"We'll know our disinformation program is complete when everything the American public believes is false." -- William Casey, Reagan's presidential campaign manager & CIA Director (from first staff meeting in 1981)

I think they misspelled "Outrage" in the name of that place.

How offended do you think they'd be if a bunch of us showed up with a dumptruck full of bibles?

Mr. President, you're a god damn, mother fucking liar.
Fuck you, you cock sucking community activist piece of shit.

Keep the Shiny side up

Looks like another example of the recent "Yeah, you got a right to do it, but it's really not the best idea ever." movement.

But isn't it great that in the U.S. members of any religion can burn the holy books of any other religion without fear of government reprisal? Deity or Deities of your choice (or no Deity at all) bless America.

Hello,

America the Beautiful, built on the founding principle that you have the RIGHT to be an asshole, and built on the PROMISE that you will choose not to be.

May we live up to all of our Rights and our Promise.

Someday.
