Nah, it’s some Floridan priest trying to prove some sort of a point by burning a bunch of Qurans.
The dumb thing is everybody is telling him not to do it; but he will anyway.
The sad thing is: People like him will spread ignorance and hate towards the world’s Muslims…
and his actions will spread hate amongst many a Muslim towards America…
I really feel bad for my wife having to live in a world like this. With me - eh. I’m definitely not a very strict Muslim and nobody can tell I am one (aka: I don’t wear hijab like Muslim women)… but with her; we basically know when we go to the grocery store… somebody will be thinking hateful/ignorant things… or even acting appalled that she is there.
It really brings me down to know no matter how nice, caring, and unconditionally loving she is towards humanity as a whole – it will be a long time before she is not looked at with hate.[/quote]
Preacher, not priest. Second, if you are muslim, then stand up for what is right. The PR problem muslims have is their own making. Muslims are the only ones who can fix that. You are at far more risk of the cancer with in than anything from outside.
Sure people may be prejudiced, may be hateful, and bigoted, but they won’t kill you. The perception is that every time somebody does something muslims don’t like, it’s death and violence to follow. You know why? Because it happens all the time.
When people dance around a burning carcass waving the Quran around and yelling “Allah Akkbah!” it can cause a bad perception. If it happens a lot so much more for the perception.
I am against the burning because of people like yourself. For your sake and other “good apples” I have no desire to hurt you or insult you.[/quote]
And when a countries soldiers throw fragment grenades at civilians and collect fingers of dead civilians as trophys it doesn’t really help their course too much.
