A church in Florida plans to hold a “Burn the Quran Day” on September the 11th, despite universal condemnation both at home and abroad.
The church preaches that “Islam is of the devil”.
Back in 2005, the Danish newspaper, Jyllands Posten, published cartoons depicting the muslim prophet, Mohammed. The newspaper was threatened with bombings and the cartoonist received death threats.
The response from the “international community”? Calls for moderation and criticism of the newspaper and cartoonist for offending muslims.
And in 2006, three boys were expelled from an Islamic school in Australia after they were caught pissing on bibles and burning bible pages.
The response from the “international community”? Well I don’t remember seeing it on the news or in any newspapers over here. There were no spontaneous protests from christians calling for the boys to be beheaded. The boy’s father blamed the school.
Still in 2006, muslims protesting in London about the newspaper in Denmark publishing Mohammed cartoons waved placards calling the murder of people who insult Islam and other “anti-British slogans”.
The response from the “international community”? Calls for moderation and criticism of the newspaper and cartoonist for offending muslims.
And a regular sight at any anti-American or anti-west protest by muslims, the burning of the Stars & Stripes:
The response from the “international community”? I think you know the answer already. The Stars & Stripes is second only to the bible in the list of revered objects in the USA but the “international community” seems to think it’s ok to desecrate it if you’re a muslim.
People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones.
burn 200 qurans……… inshalah any1 who partakes in this will be put in he’ll for eternity
Why can’t everyone just forgive and forget… Why are we always living a war… Why doesn’t everyone be happy with what they have and not try and cause a havoc… I can’t believe that the church actually made a date to burn our holy quran… Inshallah this ‘burn the quran day’ doesn’t commence and everyone comes to their sense… Salaam
The thing is that the media has a strong hold on which reactions/ actions from the “international community” it likes to show to the world. For every one person screaming of violence to those who speak against muslims, and for those who burn that flag, there are hundreds more who speak of peace and wouldn’t burn that flag out of respect. Yet, this probably sounds the same to you because you just don’t see it on TV, but let me assure you that it exists.
If I was those boys parents who had urinated on a bible? That boy would have been grounded for life, because I belief in respect of all faiths and live in a country where I grew up against Christians, Jews, Sikhs, Hindus etc and for the most part we respect eachother… that is until the media creates frenzy’s like this where our prophet is disgraced, and now this? How much longer will it be til these faiths start to think we’re crazy.
This is a game of lunacy, its the extremists vs the extremists, just like Partor Terry Jones, would Jesus do the same? I don’t think so. Has he thought of the impact of millions of muslims who already find it a difficult world to live in? Nope. Free speech is all very well, but there has to be a limit.
I still don’t understand why people don’t realise that media is a whole load of crap??? Media is making all of this happen… Stupid media
as point to nuruddin and mo, is the bible, not part of the koran?
Religous maniacs are stupid, regardless of which day they speak to god!
@ Mo, that’s just your opinion of course.
Anybody who supports this should seriously re consider. Islam is not the problem anymore than Christianity is. Audacities beyond the imagination have been carried out on both parts. There is no holy war here only the illusion of one. 9/11 is a Luciferian date it represents sorcery by skipping 10. So to act on 9/11 only has one outcome. More bloodshed…. The issues of the world are rooted in corrupt government. These corrupt governments are controlled by unelected elite who wish to reduce the population of the world DRASTICLY. 9/11 was orcastrated by these evil people as a pre text for war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Now it looks as though they are going to use this idiot Pastor Terry Jones to begin the next stage which will involve the US causing 4 or 5 terror attacks on their own soil and blaming Iran and Muslims. The next holocaust is upon us with Muslims instead of Jews. Please do some research on this. Google the new world order, the trilateral commission, the bilderbergs, They want to start a war between Muslims and Christians. These people represent Zionist Jews. Zionist Jews are a fiction a well orcastrated lie their true origin in Khazarian they are nothing to do with the jews google the Khazarian conspiracy
Mo, I don’t believe in your sky fairy or their sky fairy.
Nuruddin, I fully understand how full of crap the media is.
Axel, yes, the christian old testament is one of the holy books of islam and Jesus is one of their prophets.
Rick, I like a good conspiracy theory as much as the next man. That’s not a good one.
The Christian old testament is one of the holy books of Judaism mate
the thing is you cannot punish a faith die to some idiotic people who are so called Muslims. I don’t understand how burning the Quran isgoing to make a difference to some people. it’s gonna make matters worse and maybe even eventually lead to a war between the Arab/ Muslim nations and the west.
wonkotsane, I agree it’s not a good conspiracy theory its a bad conspiracy fact
He should learn how to spell qur’an…
all he’s gonna do is make things worse..every religion has fanatics. and the media they sure ain’t helping. if they burned bible in the middle they’ed want another invasion..if they burn the qur’an they think they win…when are gonna learn?
Buy the bloody Quran. Hang it in the bog and wipe your ass with it. You might as well make some use of this fictitious load of rubbish. The western world has a right to free speech and a right to free expression. If the muslims don’t like it they can go and live in a shit hole of a muslim country where they belong.
@JIM
yes of course u have a right to free speech but what right have you got to slander a religion? u Americans are too thick to realise that your govt is playing ur whole country. just trying to start wars on the basis of terrorism. ie.
Iraq- weapons of mass distruction…… any found….. nope….. Iraq also is oil rich…. could see y Americans were so tactifull there.
Afghanistan- war on terror…… pffft don’t make me laugh…. if anyone is a terrorist then it’s the American govt NOT American people in general. y???? because they have killed many innocent people in the name of “war on terror” and also in it’s continued support for Israel in terms of weaponry.
no 1 target for the mission….. acuire Osama bin laden….. did they find him? nope and doubt that will ever happen.
next in line are Iranand Syria as these are the only countries who have the balls to speak up for the whole Arab nations.
note I don’t blame only American govt but the british govt is just as well to b blamed.
innocent people are getting killed in this so called war. it’s not a war of the public but a war between the govts of different countries. so I’m not meaning to offend Christians, Jews or any other religion but I want it to b clear this is not a war between me and the amercan dude next to me it’s about the ideologies of different nations.
salamz
I’m not American. I’m White English, and I’m sick and tired of western countries giving in to this evil religion Islam. Of coarse we go about taking and ordering so what. Its better we have then to have not. If we don’t take we will have them ruling us. Let the buggers suffer, if we have to annihilate the bloody lot.
u just don’t understand mate. let me educate u a lil bit. u referance to Islam being evil is 100% inaccurate. Islam Is a religion of peace. how is Islam evil? what coz sum ppl decide they want to be fake martyrs in front of god. Islam does not support that. I suggest u read a few verses of the holy Quran if u can b bothered to do so. c the problem wif ppl like u jim Is that u have no idea what Islam is. u Just highlight selected things that u want to rant about. can I ask every1 in this forum a question? especially u jim.
Lets talk rationally and with an open mind….From my knowledge I dont think someone has ever argued for Islam on this forum. I want to face the challenge
“Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loveth not transgressors. (The Noble Quran, 2:190)”
“But if the enemy incline towards peace, do thou (also) incline towards peace, and trust in God: for He is One that heareth and knoweth (all things). (The Noble Quran, 8:61)”
“If thou dost stretch thy hand against me, to slay me, it is not for me to stretch my hand against thee to slay thee: for I do fear God, the cherisher of the worlds. (The Noble Quran, 5:28)”
“God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers. (The Noble Quran, 60:8)”
“And fight them until persecution is no more, and religion is for God. But if they desist, then let there be no hostility except against wrongdoers. (The Noble Quran 2:193)”
“Let there be no compulsion in religion: Truth stands out clear from error: whoever rejects evil and believes in Allah hath grasped the most trustworthy handhold, that never breaks. And Allah heareth and knoweth all things. (The Noble Quran, 2:256)”
“Again and again will those who disbelieve, wish that they had bowed (to God’s will) in Islam. Leave them alone, to enjoy (the good things of this life) and to please themselves: let (false) hope amuse them: soon will knowledge (undeceive them). (The Noble Quran, 15:2-3)”
“Say, ‘The truth is from your Lord’: Let him who will believe, and let him who will, reject (it):……(The Noble Quran, 18:29)”
“If it had been thy Lord’s will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then COMPEL mankind, against their will, to believe! (The Noble Quran, 10:99)”
“Say: ‘Obey Allah, and obey the Messenger: but if ye turn away, he is only responsible for the duty placed on him and ye for that placed on you. If ye obey him, ye shall be on right guidance. The Messenger’s duty is only to preach the clear (Message). (The Noble Quran, 24:54)”
“Say : O ye that reject Faith! I worship not that which ye worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship. And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship, Nor will ye worship that which I worship. To you be your Way, and to me mine. (The Noble Quran, 109:1-6)”
how isthis evil?
Brother mo, this is another thing that I don’t understand is that these non-islams think that we all muslims are terrorist nd violent and evil, exactly like you said, jim and all you other people out there that think that us muslims believe in a religion that is evil, then go read the quran and understand what islam exactly about. NOT evil but peace. Salaam
“I’m not American. I’m White English, and I’m sick and tired of western countries giving in to this evil religion Islam”
Hmm……
Evil Religion Islam? Have you read your christian bible lately?
God says thou shall not kill and then follows it up with one hell of a lot of smiting.

The media does stir things up but it has no real agenda on this aspect, it stirs things up to generate news and make money from selling the news to us. There was a very intersting case recently, in scotland, a muslim guy murdered a white guy and there was a brief ‘anti muslim’ stance in the press but that was soon abandonded when they realised that that did’nt interest anyone up here, so he stopped being a ‘crazed muslim killer’ and became a glaswegian thug, everyone was happy because they understood that the concept of Glaswegian thuggery better than any Islamic angle.
Or the car bomb thing at Glasgow airport, all anyone cares about is the fact that a jakey glaswegian battered someone, the fact they were on fire made it more entertaining but I guess that is just Glaswegian humour for you!
What are Muslims? Errrrrrrrrrm….they go to church on….friday?
people are people, we are all different and sometimes that grates.
Jim, how can u insult Islam in such a way? If u ever bothered to open a Bible or A Qu’ran then u would see dat Islam is not 100 percent evil.
‘Buy the bloody Quran. Hang it in the bog and wipe your ass with it.’
U were talking like a bloody kid! Dont u knw dat some of the Quran’s text includes Jesus?
Islam is clearly a religion of peace. This terry jones guy thinks that the quran encourages hijacking planes and driving them into buildings. Well he is wrong. Wat Al- Qaeda are doing is wrong. We accept that. They think that by wiping out ppl who hate Islam, they will become martyrs. They are really wrong about dat. Islam NEVER encourages killing. We accept that wat these ppl are doing is wrong. So why does Terry Jones have to go and try and burn our sacred and holy book? He probably hasnt even read it!
Plz think before u type in offensive stuff like that Jim. I aint askin for a argument. I am askin for u to understand on the behalf of every single muslim on this forum, that plz dont be so harsh.
I agree. wish we could all just practice our own religions and b nice to eachother no matter what faith or colour they r.
ive just downloaded the koran to have a read,very interesting

Wat u said there makes it look like even u think dat the Quran is just rubbish. Have u even seen wat Axel thought of it too? All i am saying is just think before u write stuff like dat. Somethimes people can end up getting seriously offended.
Iaglad that u havent replied to ma previous comments as a foul mouth, i appreciate that. Just make sure that u dont do it again plz? It might seem as a joke to u Clyde but to other people it isnt.
