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
 
Any one burning books lives in fear of the truth and should be treated like a witch.
:mad:
 
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.
 
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.

I disagree there.

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.

Well, I thought it was a good read. Seems that the Pastor would disagree!

I'd be very careful what you post on here, Ken. The good pastor Jones (any relation to Graham, I wonder?) normally carries a .40 calibre automatic pistol strapped to his waist and if he reads Accy web, you never know he might get very upset for calling him a nutter and then he might just come over to Rishton and use it on you.
 
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.

That's why I say the lunatic Christian movement in the USA is so dangerous. We could well get attacked because of those morons.
 
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.

the whole thing is pathetic, the thing is though n there are those who are too dumb to see it, this nutter burning korans, will no doubt cause probably 1000s more nutters to join the taliban/.al quaida etc and will be of great assistance to killing n maiming troops out yon.:rolleyes:
 
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

Unfortunately, he wasn't giving that option, therefore, keep the peace burn nothing, or, clear the world burn it all.
 
I reckon i'ts all media hype and is easily done.. some nutter in some small crappy part of this planet has decided to burn the Koran.. a few phone calls to the local press and we end up with this rubbish as international news..

agree mancie it is media hype, proving once again how idiotic the media is. it also puts lives in danger by sensationalizing this nobody.:rolleyes:
 
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.
