International Burn A Koran Day

Florida church sponsors 'International Burn A Koran Day':

The Dove World Outreach Center, a non-denominational church in Gainesville FL, is planning to mark this year's anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks with a little bonfire of Korans, the holy book of Islam. They even have a Facebook page with a mission statement to justify their actions: Ref. Source 6

Day Koran Burn International

So they are going to hold a day of burning the Koran on 9-11 this year. I am sure that this is going to cause some serious issues with muslim groups.

It is this kind of nonsense that does not help anything. It breeds hate, animosity and division - all things that supposed religious groups should stay away from.

The thing is, when the Muslim groups react then they call them barbarians., etc. Why such provocation? Shame!

I am not positive on this but isn't the Koran a peaceful type of book. Sort of like their version of the bible. If I remember correctly most of all of these religions are the same at the root and have parts of the others in them. Anyways how would christians reaction be if they had a special holiday to burn bibles. Like maybe the day that we attacked Iraq with no real reason and killed countless innocent people. Maybe Japan should have a national hate America day for the day we vaporized two of their cities.

I think it is actually in the bible that we are supposed to be forgiving, pretty sure it's in there a couple of times. I don't see how throwing gas on the fire is going to help the healing of these wounds. Then again I don't understand a lot of stuff about this world so, . . .

You and me too Oliron there is a lot of this world I do not understand.

The fact that the Bible has been burned by some muslim groups and the Christians did not react in a negative way shows that they are trying but to have others turn around and do the same thing back by burning the Koran. I just do not understand the thinking at all.

"We will burn Korans because we think it's time for Christians, for churches, for politicians to stand up and say no; Islam and Sharia law is not welcome in the U.S. Ref. Source 2

I think these churches that want to do this are failing to understand what they are really doing. The fact that they are doing nothing more than to spread hate and division among the populous of the nation is wrong in my book.

I believe we do not need to burn the Koran or any other religious book. We should accept those who believe different than us and learn to accept each other and compare our religions. I am sure that we all can find common ground and get along very well. As long as we have groups doing all they can by going out of their way to cause pain and hard feelings are we ever really going to grow as a people?
