Quite an interesting uptake. Hopefully some positive interest and dialogue will follow. At the very least, it can be seen that Christian and Muslim can be seen in the same picture to work through a fraught stance: Florida pastor unclear about Quran burning ... The imam said he feels Jones is a "good person at heart" who simply got himself into a difficult position and could not back down, despite calls from Christian and world leaders. "He could not back down, and I felt that it's my responsibility, as the Muslim leader in central Florida, to go up to him and speak one on one with him and explain that he's putting American lives in danger and he should reconsider." Jones' plan to burn Qurans had set off a worldwide firestorm of concern... All amazing for the power of the media and for free speech and for something that we in the 'west' take for granted. I hope some of the positive light can shine through to Iran...

Just what the world needs now(Not), A repeat of the Book Burnings in the 1930's in Europe(Nazi Germany). Some I see are doomed to repeat History, After the Koran, What's next? [sarcasm]A book written by Einstein or Sir Isaac Newton [/sarcasm] Americans everywhere outside the USA will be in danger for their very lives from some of the 1.5 Billion Muslims who know nothing but what their told by those who may only believe that fellow Muslims don't lie, The USA was not founded as a Christian Nation, But as refuge from Religious Persecution... Hence the Puritans colonizing in Massachusetts... The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

If this idiot Jones owns a book, he can do as he wishes with it. True. I also find it truly disgusting that those who have fanned the embers of fear and hatred of Islam are now quietly sitting back and smiling while the media whips up a firestorm. Idiots like Newt Gingrich and his "Sharia Law" Constitutional Amendment and those claiming that a cultural center built by American muslims is somehow a monument to terrorism. Eid Mubarak!

The good Reverend forgot that our freedoms aren't free. The local police and county sheriff's office had to make sure that he, his church, and his "flock" was kept safe. I love how he said that if he knew the church would be charged, they would not have asked for security. Right. If someone managed to burn his church down, he would have gone running to file a lawsuit. Pay up, Mr. Jones. Join the PACK! |

The Reverend hasn't learned that actions have consequences. I thought good parents got that into their kids before kindergarten. The only ones who don't learn that lesson are sociopaths. |
