Who Is Terry Jones? Pastor Behind 'Burn a Koran Day' - ABC News

I agree with Gen. Patraeus on this one. It could really undermind the efforts of the troops and civillians currently in Muslim areas of the globe. I would also like to state this is not the kind of behaviour i would expect from citizen of the US.

OTOH, the local Muslim community may be pleased. Burning is the way to get rid of unusable Qu'ran. I could just picture the local Imam showing up with an armfull of books and asking the nutbar to burn them for him.


Barring that, the pastor is an absolute idiot.

I'm sure he will have a great many people who think that is just the right thing to do. It also illustrates so perfectly why religions and the human expressions of religions of all flavors have all too often supplied the underlying motivating rationale for war and bigotry. Not that it HAS to be, but that it often has been.

No one much would have known, either, had the media not decided to make it a big story. They played right into the nutcase "preacher's" hands.

I thought Terry Jones was a member of Monty Python.

I'm Christian who loves Jesus and Jesus message was about love, healing and salvation.

With burning Korans this Pastor is sending a message of hate and violence. I'm wondering what Bible is he reading because my Bible says to love my enemies and my reward will be great.

Luke 6:32-36

[32] "If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' love those who love them. [33] And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' do that. [34] And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even 'sinners' lend to 'sinners,' expecting to be repaid in full. [35] But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. [36] Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

His is not a church, but a cult. And should be treated as such. Just as the 'church' headed by that nutjob Phelps.

Douche bags? Is that the name of a new cult? Fur-lined or purple? LOL
