Burn a Holy Book for Christ

The “Dove World Outlook Center” in Gainesville (Florida) is planning to burn a Koran (sic) on 9/11 to support their radical view that Islam is a religion of the devil. There are so many things wrong with this that the mind boggles. First and most obviously the only devil in this picture is the pastor of the “church”. A nutcase with about 50 followers.
Islam is an Abrahamic religion like Christianity. The holy book, the Qur’an, is as important to millions of Muslims as the Bible is to Christians. And it is subjected to much false interpretation, as is the Bible. Much has been said and written about the terrible things Muslims do to themselves and others in the name of Islam, but the religion itself does not support these deeds.
Burning any book is as lame a way to protest as is flag burning. It only ignites a rage in the “believers “of whatever symbol is being burned, and more trouble follows. Burning a Holy Book is a bad idea in any context, but burning a Qur’an is guaranteed to get mobs of Muslims whipped up into a killing frenzy and innocent Americans and other non-Muslims, soldiers and civilians, will pay the price. Not the pastor and congregation of the DWOC.
The only question that need be asked is the now-famous “WWJD”? Damn sure not burn anything. I wonder if the DWOCers have ever actually sat down and thought about Jesus and what He would do. I seriously doubt it.
