Florida Pastor: Hundreds Of Armed Militia Will Guard Us As We Burn The Koran

Dove World Outreach Pastor Terry Jones says that when his Gainesville, Florida church conducts it's plan burning of the Koran on 9/11, he and his flock will be protected by an "armed militia."
Terry Jones has accepted the support of Right Wing Extreme, which he said offered to come to the church with between 500 and 2,000 men on September 11. He described the organization as an armed civilian militia group. "There is a need for this protection. It is absolutely necessary in light of the death and terror threats we have received," Jones said in an e-mail to CNN. "We have met with the FBI who have warned us of the threats they have seen, not only against us but against other targets in Florida. We have personally received threats by phone and many by mail," he said. No one from Right Wing Extreme was immediately available to comment on Tuesday. But in a statement sent to CNN by the Dove World Outreach Center, Right Wing Extreme founder Shannon Carson said: "We fully support Dove World Outreach Center and its efforts to put an end to the notion that Islam is a peaceful religion. Islam is a violent cult with the goal of world domination." Muslims and many other Christians, including some evangelicals, are fighting the church's plan to burn the Quran.

1. Slow down tough guy ...
The militia group is now saying it was too quick on the trigger. In a press release issued today, Right Wing Extreme announced it is pulling support for the "International Burning of the Koran day" and will no longer attend the event. "After much thought and prayer," the group "determined this event does not glorify GOD in way that leads the lost to Jesus Christ." While maintaining that Dove World Outreach members are its "brothers and sisters in Christ," Right Wing Extreme is now asking that "they not hold this event for the reason that it may diminish the work of the Holy Spirit to witness to Muslims."

3. Not that I'd suggest doing this...
...but what would be the reaction if counter-protesters showed up to the site and burned bibles?

12. Here is a quote from a previous thread
There are spaces between the bookshelves where her books tend to find themselves after I visit.

Somehow.


These pop up every month or so followed by a chorus of "attaboys" before someone more responsible reminds the poster that hiding and moving books in a bookstore just results in more work for an underpaid wage slave clerk.

Post 24 in this thread. I won't "call out" the author.

These kinds of posts pop up about once a month.

Our ideas should be able to compete head to head.

24. One person claimed to do this and no one even responded to him.
Certainly no one called him a hero.

Your assertion is pure exaggeration and not a representation of any trend on a web community with over 160k registrations.

14. Is there any difference between placing a book on the bottom shelf or burning it?
Some people paint with very wide brushes..

21. AS IF burning a book will change anything. PR stunts are sad
when it comes to fueling hatred for another group of people. They might as well join the KKK.

22. These types of people are why their precious "rapture" hasn't happened.
God doesn't want to be around them either.
