they dont even have the money to build but politicians like bloomberg like to stir it up for his name.

As Americans we must, MUST, take a firm stand in favor of religious tolerance at any time that this concept is threatened; even, and especially, when the resulting freedom makes us uncomfortable. That said, it should be noted that Islam has a long history of building mosques in extremely provocative places: Dome of the Rock, Great Mosque of Cordoba and the Blue Mosque are a few such examples.

The President should appeal to both the Florida Pastor and the Cordoba Initiative to consider the strong emotions that their desired actions might invoke and urge them to reconsider. He/we cannot/should not take legal action in either case. He/we can and should condemn both plans.

You all are religious freaks! IF there was one true god then why are there so many different religious and why is there never any peace? Most wars in this war over time are a due to religion in some way or the there. You all keep praying and worrying about the “day of reckoning” or whatever you believe and see where it gets you all. Every bible, Koran, book, or whatever else you want to call them is just a simple way to keep control in the world. They in reality are laws written to keep things from chaos! You all keep pumping this religion stuff up and who is right and wrong and it will never end.

Back on subject, I do not think they should be building a Mosque anywhere near WTC with all the drama, because common sense would tell you the minute it happens the place will be vandalized and people harassed until they shut it down. Just think back to the LA riots and that was only over a police acquittal and not even a religion war.

If everyone ignored Terry Jones, he would be forgotten in a day or two. Instead, everyone is giving hime exactly what he wants: attention.

God has a funny sense of humore, HE told us to love our enemies, and to pray
for them that persecute us, then HE gave us loads of them to love. Christians are
supposed to be known throught out the world for the love we have for our fellow man, even our enemies. Let GOD HIMSELF deal with them, when the time
comes. Remember our Lords last words, “LOVE one another!”

Hey guys I smoked for 20 years, and it took me another 20 to quit. So based on my sometimes funny attempts to quit, I started a blog in the hope that maybe my silliness, may be of help to those of us who are still trying to quit. At least you’ll get a laff, mehopes. It’s short, 250 – 300 words daily. Any feedback welcome! Thanks, and enjoy!

If such a movement is carried out it will hurt the sentiments of the Muslims around the world. Protesting anger against Al Qaeda or Taliban would have been more logical.
The involvement of the Christian Pastor as leader in this act will cause a general hatred among Muslim for Christians. And this religious war may spread from America to the rest of the Christian world.

Burning the Koran will cause Muslims to hate us and endanger our soldiers abroad? They could not have a deeper hatred for us already. When the World Trade Center fell, hoards of Muslims danced in the streets and on top of cars throughout the Middle East. A few radical extremists, you say. Then, there was the U.S.S. Cole, the U.S. Embassy in Tanzania, the October 31, 1999 Egyptian Airlines crash in Massachusetts, the Khobar Towers, Mogadishu, the first World Trade Center Attack in 1993, the 1995 bombing of Military Headquarters in Saudi Arabia, the plot to blow up N.Y.C. bridges and tunnels by Omar Abdel Rahman, the throwing of a handicapped American Citizen off the Archille Lauro cruise ship, Flight 103 over Lockerbie, the Iran Hostage situation, and a host of other Embassy bombings and Hijackings. Since 911, there have been numerous Muslim on American plots foiled, most recently the Time Square firecracker-propane bomb. Jews are slaughtered in Israel at the very same time as our President holds Arab-Israeli peace talks, and people are stoned on suspicion of practicing Christianity. Our soldiers are slaughtered by “insurgents.” Major Middle Eastern countries refuse to denounce—and often—condone these acts of terror. This is either some radical group, boy, or a total onslaught brought about by a religion perverted by its leaders, who, time and time, again fail to speak out against continued bloodshed. Burning Mosques might cause anti American sentiment? It seems to me there already is plenty of anti American sentiment on the part of the Muslim religion. However, an ill conceived and offensive thing burning Korans may be—and it is—let us not sensationalize it by mongering fear that it will harm our soldiers abroad. God knows, they are already in harm’s way and God knows Islam is apathetic to peacefulness

I just wish all sides would leave the actual day Sept 11th for the families and their lost loved ones. Its a day of remembrance, not of protest. Oh and Dan Te, youve been reported again.

@Zippy
Right on!

Why not build an Interfaith Doughnut Shoppe on this site? All the world, every faith, can enjoy this fried treat as one. We can begin to heal our planet over a cup of joe & a sinker or two. Hatreds melt like sugar dissolving in the warmth of the holy brown elixir. A new found brotherhood will rise much like the dough of a fresh-baked roll. We are all but jimmies, festooned upon this great glazed sphere.

MR. Terry come back to islam. AlLAH WILL FORGIVE YOU

Muslims pretend to be peaceful in the western world because they are in the minority but in their own countries, they do not tolerate any other religion at all. How many mosques exist in the so called holy land of Saudi Arabia? In fact, when an Arab decides to become a Christian or join any other religion, “fatwa” is issued against such a person to the effect that he be put to death. The case of Salman Rushdie of the Satanic Verses fame is an example. Many such summary executions have happened over history in Islamic lands and they still happen till date. Most Arab Christians (and there are many of them) have had to go on exile to other lands in order to preserve their lives.
They have burned thousands of Bibles in Northern Nigeria in parts where they dominate. Once, when the late M.K.O. Abiola was alive, he confiscated a ship load of Bibles and emptied all of it in the sea. No one dares stand publicly to propagate another religion in an Islamic country.
Talking about the intention to build an Islamic centre near ground zero, I wonder the level of affront that is being contemplated. A group of Islamic jihadists flew planes into the world trade centre and destroyed it along with thousands of lives (mostly American), and then barely nine years down the line another group of Islamic Jihadists want to build a mosque near the empty ground that used to hold the world trade centre. What an affront on democracy and freedom! I am amazed by the fact that America’s president Barak Hussein Obama sees nothing wrong in that but an illustration of freedom in America. Oh yes! Freedom to bomb the magnificent world trade centre and then turn up nine years later to build an Islamic centre near the place. It is not surprising that a growing number of Americans think that Obama is a covert Muslim.
Jihad is a doctrine of Islam that encourages Muslims to both kill and get killed for Allah. That is the only reason why human beings would accept to strap bombs around themselves and then detonate it to get killed and kill others along – just for Allah.
The western world is playing along the grand Jihadist intentions of Islam. Unknown to the west is the fact that when Islam gets enough population and influence in the west, they will unleash the venom of jihad and destroy the freedom that was the platform for their infiltration. I wish that the west will wise up to this grand plan.
Islam is said to mean peace whereas, in history and to the present moment, it is the antithesis of what it claims to be. Islam has costed many American lives and will cost much more for as long as America keeps tolerating the infiltration. Time will tell, but I hope the reverse will happen.

IF WE DO RIGHT CALCULATINS, AND FROM THAT ALL HISTORY BOOKS, WE WILL SEE THAT CHRISTIANS ARE LEADING KILLERS IN THIS WORLD, THEY ARE LEADING IN MANY TIMES THEN ANY OTHER RELIGION. IF ANYONE GOOD IN MATHS PLEASE WELCOME, ANYWAY WE ARE AGAINST ANY RADICALS.

Lets get togather and build the house of the creator of all creatures including all human being what ever faith they belong to and get slavations from all foolish contriversies,

Lets look back in history to the last book burning anyone remember? WWII by Adolf Hitler…good company your keeping Terry Jones! Terry Jones you are just a radical of a christian as the radical muslims

JESSS
DO NOT REFLECT SAIDI AIRPORT PEOPLE TO ALL OF MUSLIMS, I WE REFLECT ETA [ CHRISTIANS ] TO ALL CHRISTIAN WILL IT BE RIGHT, OR IRA, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE THEY KILLED, EVEN THE TIME OF COLONISATION, WESTERN EUROPIANS KILLER HOW MANY MILLIONS IN ALGERIA, LIBYA, TUNISIA, EGYPT, ETC ETC, DID WE SAY ANY WHERE THAT CHRISTIANITY DID THAT… OPEN YOUR MIND NOW… TRY TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS POLITICS, ECOMICS, RELIGION, ETC ETC. NB. WE RESPECT JESUS AS A PROPHET OF GOD AND NOT A SON OF GOD.

@ JESSS

actually all theologists (people who study the bible and religious contexts having to do with christianity) state the “son of god” could very well be a rough translation as we are all children of god, he created us. But the bible wasn’t written in the life of jesus or by jesus … but by a flawed man named john of his apostles … and we choose to follow this book? think about it

PUTTING THE HEART OF RELIGION BACK TO WORK FOR THE PEOPLE !!…………….

In the city of Seville, Spain, local people found a simple way to STOP the construction of a mosque in their town.

They buried a pig on the construction site, then made sure it would be noted by the media.

FYI…… Islamic religious rules forbid the erection of Mosques on “pig soiled ground” !!

Moslems had to CANCEL the project..The land was originally sold to them by Spanish government officials.

No protests were staged or needed by the local citizenry…and the idea worked perfectly !!!

MR. TERRY JONES, I WELCOMING YOU TO ISLAM, PLEASE, WITH COOL MIND READ IT, UNDERSTAND IT THEN COME BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL RELIGION, IN HISTORY OF ISLAM, WE GOT SO MANY PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND MORE HARD THEN YOU, BUT THEN BECOMES MORE POSITIVE TO ISLAM, I BELIEVE YOU TOO WILL BE MUSLIM. WELCOME BACK.

haider/elabbasa

HERE IN MIDDDLE EAST SPECIALY HERE IN SAUDI WHEN THEY SEE A BIBLE IN AIRPORT THEY CONFICATE IT…WHER YOU THINK THEY PUT THAT?
YU THINK THEY WILL BRING THAT HOME?..DURE THEY WILL BURN THAT OR THROW IN TRANCH…AND ABOUT THEY RESPECT OTHER PROPHET?…I THINK NO
THEY JUST TAKE SOME INFORMATION OF THE PROPHET AND USE THAT FOR THEM…EXAMPLE JESUS THEY SAY THEY RESPECT HIM…SO WHY THEY DONT RESPECT
THE CHRISTIANS?…WE ARE THE FOLOWERS OF JESUS…IF THEY RESPECT WHAT THE BIBLE TELL SO NO NEED FOR MOHAMAD BECAUSE IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT
JESUS TELL AFTER HIM THERE WILL BEE NO OTHER PROPHET BEACUSE THE SON OF GOD ALREADY COME…NOW WE WILL JUST WAIT FOR THE SECOND COMMING

I thought the bible teaches love thy enemy? Did Jones skip that chapter? Muslims are not the enemy, ignorance is.

I hope the people planning on burning the Quran have good Insurance to cover the lawsuits that will follow for the damage they create.

The Books of Christians -Bible and Jews – Miqra are also holy to Muslims thats why u never heard a single comment about burning them , did u? Infact if someone makes a burn bible day you will see muslims standing against it. Quran is from God the same writer of Bible and a writer always wants all his books to be respected.
Better respect book of God. Islam preaches respect for all the religions that came before it – simple to understand, God sent the religion that’s now called Christianity , God sent the religion that’s now called Jewish- The God sent latest revelation is Islam that naturally have respect for the previous Prophets and their Books – Muslims Respect Jesus- Muslims Respect Moses- Muslims Respect Noah -Muslims Respect Zakria – Muslims Respect Essa -Muslims Respect Abrahim – Muslims Respect Yehya. Respecting Last prophet and quran is written there in Bible.
Religion brings the fact of Holiness. Do u have any thing holy in your house?
It typically can be a religious book. Only religion brings the concept of holiness in humans mind and this concept develops his sense in a positive constructive way.
Burning a book of God is unholistic an act that takes human mind away from respect, holiness, honor and sacrifice. Takes one more near to materialism. Someone said “One who has respect; gives respect to others” – Islam Gives respect to Prophets and books of Christians and Jews; do u?

I do understand Terry’s openion. He wants to express his anger and BURN not LEARN. He has no Idea about the tolerance of Islam and don’t differenciate between Islam itself and some radicals like him with Islamic names and IDs. The openion saying that Quran teaches violence and cruility is completely wrong, because the Holly Books are from same source (ONE GOD), message to humanity in different languges to different nations on different times and situations!!!!!!!! The message is to beleive in God the creator. So Islam is the same religion carried by all Messangers and Prophets, to human beings.Unfortunately Terry says Jesus is GOD !!!!

Allah says in Holly Quran:

“How can you disbelieve in Allah when you were lifeless and He brought you to life; then He will cause you to die, then He will bring you [back] to life, and then to Him you will be returned.”

“Mix not truth with falsehood, nor conceal the truth written in your Scriptures, the Taurat (Torah) and the Injeel (Gospel)] while you know (the truth) “.

“Abraham instructed his sons [to do the same] and [so did] Jacob, [saying], “O my sons, indeed Allah has chosen for you this religion, so do not die except while you are Muslims.”

“When death appeared before Jacob? Behold, he said to his sons: “What will ye worship after me?” They said: “We shall worship Thy god and the god of thy fathers, of Abraham, Isma’il and Isaac,- the one (True) Allah: To Him we bow (in Islam).”

“Remember when the angels said: “O Maryam (Mary)! Verily, Allah gives you the glad tidings i.e. ‘Iesa (Jesus) the son of Maryam from Him, his name will be the Messiah ‘Iesa (Jesus), the son of Maryam , held in honour in this world and lifeafter.”

Such praising and honor expressed to Mary the Virgin and and her son Jesus not to be burnt.Burning few copies of Quran Kareem will not harm Islam but hurting the doer himself.

“Do not be grieved, [O Muhammad], by those who hasten into disbelief. Indeed, they will never harm Allah at all. Allah intends that He should give them no share in the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment.”

“Everyone is going to taste death, and We shall make a trial of you with evil and with good, and to Us you will be returned “Allah says.

God Bless beleivers who planned to build Community Cultural Center for all American citizens with prayer to worship God and ask forgiveness for the victims of Ground Zero of different nations and ages. Also to pave the way for doubtful disbeleivers to LEARN not BURN the Holly Books (Godspell).
