5. More people Googled the words 'Islam' and 'Quran'.The more that you spoke about Islam and the Quran, more people came to Muslim websites to learn about the truth of Islam.

6. Libraries were busy loaning out copies of the Quran. Yes, libraries across the USA, Canada and Europe were busy lend out copies of the Quran to its patrons.

10. Thanks for uniting the people of conscience, the Muslim, the Jews, the Christians, the Hindus, and the atheist, on the common platform of goodness, love and tolerance and against hatred, bias and bigotry.

Pastor Terry Jones, we pray that you actually read the Quran with an open mind and heart and ponder over its message of the oneness of God. If you love Jesus, follow the religion of Jesus, the religion of Jesus was Islam, submission to the The Creator. May God, enlighten you to the truth of Islam and that you start worshiping the One Creator as was preached and practiced by Prophets Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Muhammad, peace be upon them. Welcome to Islam.

Cool heads prevailed and this onslaught against us was met with Peaceful indignation and not retaliation. The issue addressed for the most part was the hatred of one man and his small group of followers, most understood this was the action of one person and not the organized action of an entire group.

When hatred is met with calmness and recognized as being the hatred of individuals it can not win. The reaction Terry Jones wanted did not happen and instead of him bringing out the worse in people, it brought out the best, resulting in his hatred being exposed. If this had been met with aggression, Terry Jones would have won and we would have played into his hands giving him credibility.

Let us also remember that this farce was also an attack and insult on non-Muslims, as it would have reienforced stereotypical views we have of non-Muslims. He was not only attacking Islam, he was spreading lies about Peaceful Non-Muslims by spreading the misconception that all non-Muslims are like him.

We also are guilty of stereotyping. Just as non-Muslims have misconceptions about us we also have our share of misconceptions and stereotypical views about non-Muslims.
We and non-Muslims will always disagree. But, we can disagree out of Peace and not malice. We can disagree peacefully about true differences and not fight with hatred against misconceptions we sometimes believe.

Good way to stay positive,alhumdulilah but it was quite an issue which was debated by many. I watched one on CNN,where he was saying this was a message towards radical Muslims.In the end the majority of people had a conensus of that Pastors main purpose of this was to attract media attention towards himself. I personally was disgusted.

i heard he bit the dust, is this true?

What do you mean by bit the dust brother?

[Abdul Wahid]

SubhanaALLAH.

JazakALLAH-heir for sharing.

i heard he bit the dust, is this true?

What do you mean by bit the dust brother?

I think the bro means the text message that people are passing on which claims that Pasta Sauce has had an accident and passed away.

Then again I don't think its Pasta Sauce this 'rumour' is based on but the other guy that was ripping pages of the Qur'an.

Anyway Muslims should refrain from forwarding such messages.

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]
