• If We Include the Twilight Books Can We Call It Even? …

  There’s been a ton of press on the Florida pastor who plans on burning the Koran on the anniversary of September 11.  Hillary has said no.  Petraeus has said please don’t.  Angelina has spoken out against it.  It’s odd that none of them actually bring up that Pastor Jones has the legal right to do so.  Through out history Christians have been attacked, their symbols burned or defecated, their follower’s martyred and no one says a peep.  No one cares and that’s probably because they know real Christians won’t do anything.  Nada.  Nothing.  They’ll let God be in control and let judgment happen upon the disbelievers in His time, not ours.

  I saw a quote by Jones that I think sums it up:

  We think it’s time to turn the tables, and instead of possibly blaming us for what could happen, we put the blame where it belongs – on the people who would do it.  And maybe instead of addressing us, we should address radical Islam and send a very clear warning that they are not to retaliate in any form.

  From a religious stand point he is right about speaking out against Satan and satanic things.  However, I think his approach is slightly off.  He wants to target radical Islam by burning the Koran.  Non-radical Islam use the Koran as well.  Not only will he piss off the radical Muslims but he’ll also do the same to the non-radical versions out there. 

  Ideally, all those people speaking out against Jones I’d rather see them speak out against the real problem.  No, it’s not Jones being un-American, it’s that radical Islam needs to be addressed.  If more Muslims spoke out against it or other countries did so then things maybe different.  Unfortunately, everyone knows if you speak out against it you get a Jihad placed upon your head.  (Hopefully that doesn’t happen here)  People need to learn how to attack the problem not those who are doing it.
