I'm with 3pok here, burning books is just plane retarded. And if you're really gonna burn a Koran, just try finding the ♥♥♥♥ responsible for the actually terrorism and enlist damn it, be a "good Christian" and go kill some "terrorists".
The irony of this man's ways is just overwhelming, his so called protest will only infuriate the extremist Muslims further.
All this discussion about two wrongly translated, Probably made up books. Which are coincidently about roughly the same thing. For ♥♥♥♥♥ sake just agree to believe in the same god, who goes by a heck of a lot of names.
For all those that feel personally insulted by this post, PM me with your objections and the reasons why I will end up in hell, and I'll gladly delete them. If you decide not to include that last bit, I will think it over.[/disclaimer]
Well technically Islam and Christianity believe in the same god, just not the class of Jesus plus some different ways to worship. Islam considers Jesus to be a prophet while Christianity believes Jesus is a weird threesome hybrid of God where he is god but at the same time isn't. I was never a christian so I wouldn't know how that works but from what people tell me, I think that's Jesus' status.
I think most religions believe in the same god. Except for the Satanists. And Scientology.
You know, this situation would be so much better if it was a group of Scientologists doing this.
Additionally, I thought I would post Terry Jones' original statement and an actual map for the Mosque site:
Quote:
"This has been for us a very, very difficult, trying time. We have been in much thought and prayer over this whole period.
A lot of times we were asked what would it take for us to call this thing off. We have thought it over many times. We felt very convinced that we should do this.
We thought about what would have to happen for us to call our event off. As we prayed about that, in the past we did have one idea.
This idea we put out in prayer to God. That if he would want us to call this off, if we have accomplished our goal, then our thought was the American people do not as a whole want the mosque at the Ground Zero location.
That if they were willing to either cancel the mosque at the Ground Zero location, or if they were willing to move it away from that location, we would consider that sign from God.
We have, or he has [indicating Iman Muhammad Musri, standing beside him], been in contact with the imam in New York City.
I, with the imam here, will be flying up there on Saturday to meet the imam at the Ground Zero mosque.
He has agreed to move the location. That of course cannot happen overnight. But he has agreed to move that.
We felt that that would be a sign that God would want us to do it.
The American people do not want the mosque there. And of course Muslims do not want us to burn the Koran.
The imam has agreed to move the mosque. We have agreed to cancel our event on Saturday. And on Saturday I will be flying up there to meet with him."
