Religious leaders unite against Koran burning
Religious leaders have openly condemned plans by a Florida church to burn copies of the Koran on Saturday.
The statement follows the widespread condemnation of plans made by Pastor Terry Jones to burn copies of the Koran on the 9/11 anniversary.
The leaders - including Dr Ingrid Mattson, President of The Islamic Society of North America, Rabbi Nancy Fuchs-Kreimer from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College, Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, Archbishop Emeritus of Washington and Rabbi David Saperstein from the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism - issued a statement condemning the church's actions during a 'clergy summit' to discuss the controversy over plans to build a mosque close to where the Twin Towers once stood in New York.

Commentary
If you're still not convinced, I can convince the majority of christians with 1 simple photo.
If you're a Catholic Christian, the largest sect of Christianity, then how can you burn a book that was kissed and respected by your previous pope, whom is being made a saint?
At first I thought that burning the Qur'ans was stupid, then I heard Gen. Petraeus' response and similar responses by a plethora of people. Now I'm more in favor of it despite the risks.
ReplyDeleteDon't offend the Muslims; they'll murder people is a poor reason for censoring people. It's not something that any American should ever be cowed into doing.
