As a Christian myself,I find myself very mad at this-called-Pastor Terry Jones who threatened to burn Korans to mark 9/11.
Did he canceled the burnning of Korans?YES HE DID! Do you know why he canceled??Because it is part of his job!To canceled this ridiculous act of hate!!! I am so mad that I can not read anything about his ideas any more. How can this man still being a Pastor??????????? God is love and what this "Pastor" is doing is nothing but trash! HE IS COMPLETLY CRAZY!!! I am very much ashamed of his actions and would love to know how this guy thinks he is the king of the world and decided to burn the Korans. We should all love each other and be GOOD to each other.And not being all over the media hurting people's feelings. Oh God,this is too ridiculous! *By the way,as a Christian I also know that I NEED TO LOVE this guy with all my heart and soul,but as a human being it is very frustrating to watch this guy on tv and do nothing about it. May God bless his soul and have mercy upon his life!

| I agree with your sentiment but am dubious about your punctuation. |
Sorry about that.I've being in this country for only 5 years.My English is not very good. Sorry. |
| OP, you did fine. Completely agree with you. It's a shame that this guy got any attention at all. |
I apologize for being bitchy. I do agree with you... you sound very worked up about it. This man is an ass and I don't understand why he doesn't get that he is endangering our troops in the Middle East. |
The punctuation and the comment about not being a native english speaker is a red flag - this is the poster that goes crazy when her alleged DH uses the wrong shampoo, and a few other equally nutty posts. At least she has the right intent with this one. |
| agree - The man's a psycho and the embodiment of hatred and ignorance. |
| this 'pastor' will be bummed when the media attention he's getting off on turns on him. There are surely countless reporters doing the digging as I type this to fill the world in on this guy's past...I'm I'm sure it's dreadful. Hope he's enjoying his 15 minutes...they're almost up. |
More than one poster on this board has issues with English and punctuation. I think that we should respond to their content, not the delivery. OP, our imperfect English is just fine with me. The readers can understand you just fine, and no missing comma is going to detract from your comments. Posters criticize posters' grammar when they have nothing better to say. |
Don't have time to find links at the moment, but yesterday I was hearing some pretty terrible things about his previous work-- maybe in Germany, if I recall correctly. Telling parents its good to hit their children, encouraging couple to split, coercing his "flock" to work for him at practically zero wages. Sounded almost cult-like. |
| Perhaps some meds and time in therapy in the psych ward will help him see the light. |
| It's called "Free Speech," even if we disagree with what he says and burning the Bible, Koran and other religious material is not against the law. If Iwant free speech then I also have to respect the rights of those with whom I disagree. |
Talking trash about the Koran is free speech. Burning them wholesale might be a little different. Gets a little closer to yelling "fire" in a crowded theater, given the current religious climate in this country and the anniversary of 9/11 which should not be cheapened by hate. One thing is for sure-this nut who no one had ever heard of with a congregation of 50 is sure getting a lot of publicity mileage out his little stunt. Even if it is legal, there is such a thing as bad taste and timing. The problem is not Islam (or capitalism, or Judiasm, or Christianity). The problem is intolerance. COEXIST! |
No one is saying it is not his right. They are saying he is a hateful, ignorant bigot whose deeds conflict with his role as a christian pastor. |
The most amusing/shocking revelation that I read was that he was high school classmates with Rush Limbaugh!!! Can't believe that the press isn't all over this! |
