Florida Church Denied Burn Permit Says, ‘We Will Still Burn Korans’

[^_^ 5,021]

The Dove World Outreach Center, a non-denominational church in Gainesville, Florida, has been denied a burn permit on September 11th for its “International Burn a Quran Day,” planned to remember victims of the infamous event in 2001.

The controversial church sent out a newsletter email on Wednesday to its faithful saying, “City of Gainesville denies burn permit – BUT WE WILL STILL BURN KORANS.”

...

Terry Jones, pastor of the church: ... "We believe that Islam is of the devil, that it’s causing billions of people to go to hell, it is a deceptive religion, it is a violent religion and that is proven many, many times."

Book burners are pretty stupid.

Book burners are pretty stupid.

Yes, but then some books are pretty stupid too.

You really like posting these things for effect don't you. Pathetic.

Koran, American Flag, all protected under the First Amendment, right?

Why didn't you ask AJ about his motivation for posting this thread?

Yup, sure is.

My history of posting makes that question pointless to ask. Everyone knows.

Just like everyone knows with the other guy too.

No, I really do believe religious books are a waste of paper and ink.

Why would I?

You really are taking these things personally aren't you.

Koran, American Flag, all protected under the First Amendment, right?

Yep. As is burning them. Doesn't mean the people doing the burning can't be criticised for it.

Meh, perhaps not...look at the past few threads you've made about churches...one could assume you're anti-church and all that jazz.

Personally? *larf* no, not personally...just pointing out your bias, that's all

Of course I am. Have I ever made secret of my disdain for religion? Common knowledge, or so I assume.

Just as the other guys disdain for <the list is too long to type out> is common knowledge.

Bias? Sure Lisa, whatever you say.

It's obviously a personal issue.

I wonder why you're not being called an intolerant bigot?

MH - I told you it wasn't personal, why do you insist on correcting me on my own feelings? And yes, bias. Absolute bias.

I wonder why you're not being called an intolerant bigot?

People who share my feelings aren't going to call me that. It's not unlike the other threads where the people I called out for being bigots were defended by those who shared their bigotry.

If anyone is going to call me out, it will have to be someone religious. Let's just get it out of the way.

Yes you told me, but that's not what I perceive. I see a personal grudge being transferred from one thread to another.

Justashooter routinely and unambiguously posts content that amounts to hate speech against minorities.

Does AJ do this?
