Koran
BBC News - US church defiant despite condemnation of Koran burning
A small provincial church in Florida, The Dove World Outreach Centre, is planning to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 911. Paster Terry Jones has been branded a lunatic by other church leaders and has been criticised by Hilary Clinton, and the commander of American Forces in Afghanistan, saying this action will put his men in great Danger. What are your views, personally I think he is a lunatic, will stir up trouble a stoop to the same level as the Islamic fanatics |
Re: Koran
Any one burning books lives in fear of the truth and should be treated like a witch.
:mad: |
Re: Koran
I think it is a very dangerous thing to do......after all there are still American troops in the theatre of war.......this is going to put their lives at risk.
I also think it is a very disrespectful thing to do......and will offend all muslims. To gain respect you have to give respect.......so I am against this sensationalist ploy. |
Re: Koran
its another good example to me of the kinda dick-heads that inhabit the U.S.A.:rolleyes:

Re: Koran
The biggest threat to world peace is not just the radical muslims. It is also the lunatic Christian fringe in America that spawned George Bush junior and spawned this dipstick.

By and large, the Christian way of showing disapproval has been to withhold invitations from the vicar's tea party and that was enough to let anyone know they'd upset the rest of society. All this blowing things up and burning effigies nonsense does seem to have come primarily from the Middle East up to now. However, Bush and Bush Jnr did no favours to the Western world by poking the ants' nest with a big stick and a group of radical churchgoers in the good ol' US of A is hardly going to help matters. The problem is that we're all going to be tarred with the same brush in the way that Muslims and radical Muslims are viewed as pretty much identical now. The Koran isn't very far removed from the Bible if any one of these idiots cares to read it before burning. |

This has to be a wind-up... Pastor Terry Jones is the bloke from Monty Python. :)

Re: Koran
I thought you'd like Pastor Jones, Mancie. The man funds his 'Church' from a furniture import business, whose employees are not paid but live rent free in slum properties. Just the sort of businessman you admire.

Re: Koran
Of course, the muslims never burn anything.
They must be upset because they have 1st dibs on burning our bibles, flags, images etc. The whole thing is just pathetic & they show how backward they are by getting so pent up about it. |

Re: Koran
Cant see a problem burning the Koran to be honest as long as they burn all the other storys - sorry bibles etc, all a bunch of fairy tales if you ask me, but everyone to their own

Re: Koran
For once John and I are singing from the same hymn sheet on this one (which is very rare I know).
I will tell you about an dialogue I have been having for the last couple of weeks with some American 'christians', which shows just how insular and extreme some Americans are. 2 Weeks ago one of my American relatives posted a You Tube video on Facebook purporting to be about how in the UK there were mass protests because we had lost the right to bear arms. The video lasted about 5 mins and most of it was taken from the 2002 march for Liberty and Livelihood with interviews from marchers. What it failed to make clear was these people were not protesting about gun controls in the UK. I posted back to her telling her the truth both about the march and what the position on guns was here in the UK. I was then subjected to a tirade of abuse about my ignorance of what was happening in the UK and that we were virtually an Islamic state. This was all from someone who has never visited England and advocates that it is everyone's god given right to own a gun and use it when they feel they need to protect themselves. She (and several of her friends who also joined in 'debate') are very extreme right wing Christians who would agree with burning of the Koran - unfortunately there are some very weird perversions of the Christian Church in the US - who don't appear to consider the consequences. Extremism in all its forms is extremely worrying. I just hope that either this man is stopped or he bares the responsibility of his actions. |
Re: Koran
I hope you told your relatives that you were the councillor for Church, (founded 642 AD by St Oswald) and thus knew a hell of alot more about Christianity than they did (USA, founded 1776 by gun runners and tax dodgers).

Maybe , just maybe if all the bleating kow-towing present day politicians ,(National and Local ,in the UK/Europe and the US) had paid a bit more attention to their school history lessons we wouldn't be in the mess we now find ourselves ....... anyone remember the siege of Vienna ,(for me it was either Mrs Evan's or Mrs Harrisons History class at Gt, Harwood 'top' Council school), or a maybe a crap Hollywood movie called "El Cid" . The 'West' has been at war with Islam's on-slought for 600 years and each time the only way we have defeated and proteced our way of life/culture is through military force.
Re. the loony religious nut from Florida and the Koran book burning .....the guy is a nut, but where has there been any national outrage when the followers of 'Allah' burn the Union Jack or Old Glory on the streets of Islamabad / Kabul or even London , my view , its time to stop treating these people like naughty children with the modern methods of a time-out and go back to the old ways where a good smack worked wonders , and if a 'smack includes dropping a few bombs or chemicals on kids harvesting the opium crop in Afghanistan so be it , means less heroin on the streets of London or New York . ;) |
Re: Koran
After Celerity Big Brother, they burned effigies of Jade Goody in India.
A short time later she was dead. Perhaps this will be and end to religious conflict. :rolleyes: I presume Muslims won't be burning their books, so I wonder how many spare copies of the Qur'an there are in this Florida town? Perhaps this nutter flogs books, as well as furniture, and has over ordered on some stock lines. He might be some lone loon, but if he copies what the Nazis did, he'll put lives at risk. Religions, sanctuaries for idiots. |
Re: Koran
Of course,as we all know this setting fire to things all started with Moses and his burning bush.
Bit ironic really,Right name,Wrong Bush.:hehetable |

Re: Koran
So some petty minded closed group of morons decide they will have a bring and burn book club.
What are the chances that the members of this group will have a copy of it in amongst their well read library of Batman and Superman comics, well lets be honest, zero. So to gain entrance to the bonfire party they will first have to find a bookshop, this will be a learning curve for them, They and by the sound of it thousands of others buy the Koran in this one off deal. The bookshop owner goes off to his wholesalers and buys extra copies, the wholesaler needs to supply his demand and gets in touch with his publisher and he buys extra copies. The Publisher orders the printers to let them roll we have orders to fill. Somehow I think as well as upsetting people of the faith that wants to read that particular book these fools will have spent their money boosting the profits of the publishers on behalf of the prophets of that very faith. The same goes for flag burning, America probably keeps it's national debt down by supplying flags to be burnt by the extremists of other nations, it's good that they can reciprocate with their version of unnecessary global warming. :) |
Re: Koran
The Pastor probably has the ability to print copies of the Koran - I hear it has been called off now.

Re: Koran
In my own opinion what the pastor is doing is probably ill advised, but you wouldnt build a nazi history museum next to auschwitz, so why the hell should they be allowed to build a mosque near ground zero.Its more about respect than racism.

Re: Koran
Quote:
So many people erroneously see the Qur'an as the instruction manual and the Mosque as the training centre for extremist behaviour from those of the Islam faith. I'd wager that those kind of misgivings do more harm to the world than the nutty Pastor in America. After all, it was the media that gave him a podium. |

Re: Koran
I'm just wondering .... in view of this http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk...n_burn_threat/ " what would happen if Accy webs uber liberals Garinda/Gayle Knight/Claytonender/Ken Moss etc. and even Council leader Britcliffe decided to organize and hold a march from Ossy "Art's theatre/cultural center " down Union Road to 'Church Commercial' and then along Blackburn Road to Accy Town Hall to protest the Sharia Law death penalty imposed on Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani the Iranian woman facing stoning to death , would such a spontaneous procession/demonstration be allowed without police interference...and how many of the locals who live along the route would join in .
just curious ;) |

No offense meant by my earlier post,(uber Liberals) but the question remains , who do the regular folks of Hyndburn have more sympathy for the woman in Iran facing death by stoning (under Sharia Law) or the folks on the Blackburn road corridor protesting about some nutcase in Florida who wants to burn a few pages of printed paper , Would welcome a response from any Accy web user of any religious faith or political persusion to explain/justify this to me Thanks |

I also don't agree with Sharia Law being allowed to be used in this country (we have laws in place already) and personally think it is a big step back for Muslim women. Yes I know it is under the guise of "both parties being agreeable to its use " but somehow can't see it offering Muslim women the protection they could well need in say divorce cases. |
