You're right, his failed show did do much good for Islam. But I would ask you to consider the real source of that. Was it not the good found in the actions of all those in this country (a country that many Muslims outside of the USA think hates Islam) who stood in solidarity with Muslims and opposed to this man's proposed plans. There were some, of course, who supported Jones and some who opposed him out of fear of potential reprisal if he went ahead. But it seemed to me that the vast majority of Americans opposed Jones because they saw the Qu'ran burning as being in the wrong and disrespectful.

True there was a very good amount of support from most people. Terry Jones received very little if any support for his flagrant disrespect.

Yes, he did fail because people saw through his hatred, May Allaah(swt) be praised.

While that is true. It also backfired and brought even more support for condemnation of the Qur'an burners. I really doubt if those idiots expected the reaction they got from non-Muslims.

Witnesses said it was a ghastly display of fervor - apparently inspired by the Florida pastor who vowed to torch the holy books earlier in the week - overshadowing what should have been a somber day.

"Burning Korans is like setting up a recruitment to Al Qaeda - it does nothing for the cause and only brings problems," said Lance Corey, 61, a retired history teacher from the Bronx who opposes Park51.

"If they can burn American flags, I can burn the Koran," the unidentified zealot shouted.

Hmm It just shows THEIR intolerance.

What is great in ripping off a non-living book?

What would sadden me more is a MUSLIM burning/ripping/tearing the bible or gita or any such books.

True, that is what would sad. Yet I do not know of one Muslim having every defiled the Holy Books of any religion no matter how much they hated and despised the adherents of the religion.

True. It is also a good reminder that we are not to imitate the Kafir. ( See Brother abdussattar's post)
 
Re: Who is behind the burning of the Quran?

Sounds like an outstanding church. Maybe the authorities need to take a good look at them.
 
Re: Who is behind the burning of the Quran?

This church is more comical than stupid. Isn't burning the Qu 'ran the most respectful way of disposing it anyway?

I believe Terry's latest exploit may bring much unwanted attention to the church. I understand there has been some question about illegal tax exemptions among other problems. I don't think he really wanted any government authorities to ever take a close look at the church. His little publicity stunt has not only served to promote Islam, it may very well have brought about the end of the church (Small c is deliberate, a Church is a religious building, this is not a religious organization)

Koran-burning Florida church will feel the tax man's bite

Part of Dove World will go on tax rolls
The controversial church runs a for-profit business on part of its property.

After an investigation earlier this year, the Alachua County Property Appraiser has determined that a controversial Gainesville church will have to pay taxes on part of its 20-acre property because it operates a for-profit business there.

Officials at the Dove World Outreach Center, which calls itself a charismatic Christian church and recently made national news for its plans to burn the Quran on Sept. 11, also run a business, TS and Company, selling furniture online out of the church's complex on Northwest 37th Street.

Re: Who is behind the burning of the Quran?

Uncle Woodrow, why are we discussing this man and his so called church at all? Personally, i think he's being over exposed on this forum.

I suggest that we should contaminating this forum with discussion about a stupid man. Those who want to know more about him can just ask Google.

Good point.

However I am not going to do an immediate closing of the threads. I am first going to merge the Terry Jones threads. Then allow a reasonable time from for any members who desire to, can leave a closing post.
 
In addition to the response of non-Muslims who opposed the Qu'ran burning, I must confess to being pleasantly surprised by the Muslim's community's response as well. Rare were reports of those things that many feared of the sorts of riots that broke out in the past with the Danish cartoons and other percieved insults. Rather, it seems that Muslims did understand that this was just one man and a very small church and they accepted it as such, not an indictment of all.

So, my appreciation to those in the Muslim community who have helped facilitate keeping the peace and prevented there from being an over-reaction.

I didn't personally see it as one man, I felt he represented a great deal, however, he is irrelevant as those he represents whether they are over or covert about their feelings.
the Quran isn't merely a book on paper, it is a living word of God that even if every copy is burned can be reproduced anew from the hearts of the faithful-- I'd wonder if every bible were burned how much of it would remain in the hearts of people? and well no center or 'Mosque' really matters either, any small room where the faithful gather to pray is sufficient. Islam isn't concerned with grand architecture or what is written in paper and translated to another language.
So you can see why, whether this man represents a small congregation or the majority of westerners is really of no consequence to a Muslim.. I don't think burning a book or protesting a center is equal to killing Muslims subjugating them or holding them without trial are equal, and that should definitely be protested!

all the best
 
This devil had a small following of no more then 50 people, This guy is a nobody. All he wanted is a bit of fame and he got it.

To hell with this luciferian and move on.

This thread deserves locking
 
:sl:

All that needs to be said has been said. May we all gain, what could have been a nasty event, fizzled out in a very peaceful manner.

Over time this may become a turning point.
