While I applaud the intent here, signing this petition will do absolutely nothing.
 
Salaam

really ? Why then I regularly get email urging sign the petition ?
 
I don't why you are getting the emails. For all I know this website was set up to gather as many Muslim email addresses as possible. Or it may be genuine in its efforts.

Regardless of intent, though, the act of signing this petition does absolutely nothing to stop the burning. In fact it does exactly the opposite. The people doing the burning are doing it because they want a reaction from Muslims and they want publicity. The best thing that Muslims, and everyone else around the world, can do is to completely ignore these idiots. By reacting to them and giving them more publicity you are only making them happier and playing right into their hands.
 
He's right, you know. What notice do you think the minds (and I use the word loosely) behind the Dove World Fruitcake Center will take of the petition, however many signatures it has? Protests and petitions just provide the reaction this idiocy was intended to provoke.

That's right, I agree.
 
Greetings,

I heard about this horrible idea to burn the Qur'an on the news. I can't imagine how the people involved think their action is in any way helpful. When groups of humans get the urge to burn a particular book, more often than not the majority of them have not read it. That's pretty much bound to be the case here too.

The petition will make no difference, and I don't like giving out my email address if I can help it. So instead I register my opposition to the book burning thus: :hmm:

Peace
 
burn the Quran and become a celebrity, I have read a rabbi protest today of course his lighthearted banter was marred by other political agenda that he managed to sneak in nonetheless, I think everyone views this for what it is, a brilliant way to showcase the ignorant oafs that dwell within these woods.. Those who burn the Quran really highlight the type of dark aged ignorance that is so ingrained in them.. the same people who believe dinosaurs roamed about 6000 years ago if not some colossal hoax and that well god is a middle eastern man..

How much of the Quran can they burn? How many of us here (masha'Allah) know it by heart? burn all the Quran's it can be reproduced in an instance, we live by it, we breathe it and always in our hearts..
this should serve as an impetus though for those who don't know it by memory to do so..

and Allah swt knows best

:w:
 
I'm going to have to agree with the others who have already pointed out that a petition like this will do nothing. This whole event just seems to be an attempt at gaining some publicity, and angering the Muslim community. The best thing we can do is to just ignore them altogether, and not overreact to their provocations.
 
Who is behind the burning of the Quran?


سم الله الرحمن الرحيم

Bismillā hir Rahmā nir Rahīm
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful​

As-Salāmu `Alaykum (السلام عليكم):

Surah An Nahl 16:125

125. Invite (mankind, O Muhammad SAW) to the Way of your Lord (i.e. Islâm) with wisdom (i.e. with the Divine Inspiration and the Qur'ân) and fair preaching, and argue with them in a way that is better. Truly, your Lord knows best who has gone astray from His Path, and He is the Best Aware of those who are guided.​


Let’s educate ourselves on who is actually behind the promotion to burn the Quran.

The passive protests, letter writing, etc only provide these evangelical nuts with the ultimate goal of attracting notoriety.

The Dove World Outreach Center History:

Dove World Outreach Center is a non-denominational charismatic Christian church located in Gainesville, Florida, which, under its leaders Rev. Terry and Sylvia Jones, gained notoriety in the late 2000s for its displays of anti-Islam and anti-LGBT messages.

It was founded in 1986 by Donald O. Northrup and Richard H. Wright, and became known for participating in charitable endeavors.
It also formerly owned a subsidiary church in Waldo, Florida in the 1980s (led by Donald J. Wright) and a sister church in Cologne, Germany, Christliche Gemeinde Köln[2][3] (CKG), which had been founded and led by Jones, a Missouri native, from 1981-2008 (initially as a branch of Maranatha Ministries), after which the church continued under newer, independent, leadership. It is currently the largest non-Catholic church in the Cologne/Bonn metropolitan area.

The church also maintains a Dove World Outreach Academy in Gainesville, in which students are prohibited from outside contact, and work without compensation in selling, packing, and shipping furniture for TS and Company.

Donald Northrup and his wife, Dolores (a native of Nova Scotia), were married in 1946 and became involved as missionaries in southern Africa from 1960-1977. Donald Northrup and Terry Jones first became involved with each other as operatives in the Maranatha Campus Ministries; when MCM's headquarters were moved from Paducah, Kentucky to Gainesville, Florida in the 1970s, the Northrups decided to permanently move from Rhode Island to Gainesville, at which point Northrup and Wright established the Dove World Outreach Center.

Northrup headed the church from its inception until he died in 1996, before which he repudiated his own experience with MCM. Dolores continued to participate in various ministries of the church as Woman's Pastor until she retired from activities in 2004 and later became estranged from the congregation in 2009 due to concerns about the church's future under the Jones family.

Terry Jones is a native of Cape Girardeau, Missouri who is married to Sylvia Jones. Terry and Lisa Jones, who died of cancer, had two children, Luke and Emma (the latter of whom is estranged from the family and the church). Jones became the pastor of the CGK (while it was a branch of Maranatha) from 1981, and after Maranatha's collapse, the congregation became associated with the surviving DWOC. Afterward, they became the current senior pastors of the Gainesville congregation, with Wayne Sapp serving as assistant pastor.

Terry published Islam is of the Devil, a polemic denouncing Islam as a violent faith.

May Allah SWT guide these people to the straight path. May Allah SWT show them the light of Qur'an.
 
One bit of good news in all of this, the man who plans to burn the Qu'ran, is so ignorant of it he doesn't seem to be aware that he doesn't even actually have a copy of the Qu'ran to burn. Rather, if he is planning on burning the book he held up to cameras today, he is planning on burning an English translation. And sad as that in itself is, as I have been taught here, such a book is not actually the Qu'ran.

Regardless, my apologies for the dimwittedness of this man who claims to represent Christianity. In truth he only represents the 50 members of his paranoid local church.

I agree with you. They are just doing it for publicity. He can burn 100 copies or 1000 copies but he can't but ALL the copies. Even if he manages to burn ALL the copies, he cant erase the quraan from the memories of all the Huffaz on the earth.

REQUEST TO INTRODUCE A LAW THAT DECLARES BURNING OF A BOOK WILL BE UNLAWFUL ON ANY PROPERTY


In 1820-1821, Heinrich Heine (German Jewish Poet) wrote in his play ALMANSOR (WHERE THEY BURN BOOKS, THEY WILL ALSO ULTIMATELY BURN PEOPLE). Albert Einstein said “IMAGINATION is MORE important than KNOWLEDGE”. The undersigned believe that burning of Qur’an on September 11th, 2010, from 6pm - 9pm on the property of Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, will compromise the overall safety of the community and incite hostility due to the symbolism of this event .


Hon’ble Chief Justice of USA is requested to advise the legislatures to introduce a law in regards to the burning of a book immediately. 2. Also requesting Chief Justice of USA to request Hon’ble Secretary GENERAL OF UN to call immediately a meeting of its members to pass a resolution that all member countries should formulate a LAW to protect against the Burning of any book.

This is taking place in Florida not NY...Its funny when people start pathetic useless petitions that never get anything done. Keep worshipping Allah SWT and stop worrying about these bigots like Terry Jones. As someone said above, he does not know what he is burning, and I doubt that he actually has ONE real mushaf in this hands. Probably English translations of Quran made by haters of Islam who cant stand to watch Islam rise. may Allah's curse and wrath be upon those are involved in this.

Surah Al Hijr Verily We: It is We Who have sent down the Dhikr (i.e. the Quran) and surely, We will guard it (from corruption). 15:9
