Yeah........I don't think I really agree with that idea too much. Real Christians are supposed to get the word of God out to others to save them. Somehow I don't see this as helping to convert many Muslims. :dunno:
But then again it wouldn't surprise me if those involved have absolutely no idea what the historical context of book burning actually is.
Softie, muslim lover, pinko General Petraeus, warns that this puts American soldiers lives in danger.

This is awesome. I wanna go but It's not in my area.
Kudos to these folks though.
The top US commander in Afghanistan has criticised a Florida church's plan to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
The Dove World Outreach Centre says it will burn the Muslim holy book as a warning against what it calls the "threat posed by Islam".
But General David Petraeus say the demonstration could cause significant problems for American troops overseas.
"It could endanger troops and it could endanger the overall effort," he said in a statement.
"It is precisely the kind of action the Taliban uses and could cause significant problems. Not just here, but everywhere in the world, we are engaged with the Islamic community."
Army spokesman Lieutenant General William Caldwell says the plan has already caused a lot of anger in the region.
"It has amongst the Afghan people - that's correct," he said.
"It's their holy book, and so when somebody says that they're going to destroy that and cause a desecration to something that's very sacred to them, it's already stirred up a lot of discussion and concern amongst the people," he said.

Its a political season over her in the USA.
Marketing to the dumbest tools in society is so easy. Point at the color person and blame them for all your problems.
Most people come out to vote against something rather than for something.
While it is true that, it makes the Christians no better then the other extremists. If it were the Muslims, or some other religion doing something to the bible, people would be screaming about their 1st Amendment right to do it.
Nice try. There's very little of such a contradiction to be found... I, like most (if not all) leftists I know, fully support their right to do this. It's dumb, it's hateful, it's counterproductive, etc. - but they have a right to do it - and not just a theoretical right, they can actually go ahead and do it. They even should do it - "should" as in they should reveal their knuckle-dragging true selves. I credit them with honesty, if nothing else.
:hatsoff:
Shouldn't it be a day for rememberance and mourning, and not flaming hatred?
Well, there's no law saying that he can't burn the Quran. All it does is make him look like a hypocrite.
I mean, how can you get on about Islam not being "the religion of peace" and are planning a book burning, when your very religion teaches you about forgiveness?
'Cause we Christians don't stone women for bullshit. Islam=evil. And everyone here knows it. :tongue:
'Cause we Christians don't stone women for bullshit.
and if it weren't for us atheists, you Christians would never have learned that it was wrong to do it
