An Islamophobic pastor in Florida is playing with fire once again.

Terry Jones, who sparked international outrage in 2010 when he vowed to burn copies of the Koran, ignited copies of the Islamic holy book outside his Dove World Outreach Center Saturday night, according to the Gainsville Sun.

The pastor — who once promised he would “not ever” burn a Koran — also burned an image depicting the prophet Muhammad, the newspaper reported.

Jones carried out the incendiary act along with about 20 others to protest the imprisonment of Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, a Christian jailed in Iran since 2009 for his religious beliefs, according to the Christian Post.

*yawn* #OneTrickPony

I’m sure now that Jones has courageously burned some Qur’ans the Iranians will see the error of their ways and release the pastor forthwith. //

The stupid just keeps multiplying exponentially.

He’s an ass.

And I won’t miss any opportunity to highlight that.

I’m betwixt and between on how to deal with these issues as news. By calling attention to it, it encourages them. This is clearly attention seeking behavior.

re: #3 Bob Levin

Yep. Hence my *yawn*. People seem to be on to his game and mostly ignoring him. If I hadn’t seen it here, I doubt I’d have heard about it all.

re: #4 CuriousLurker

I strongly believe that this kind of behavior must be subject to daylight so that he is so marginalized no one else will want to be near him, save his fellow morons.

I’d bet his ‘Church’ is getting smaller.

Shame is powerful.

re: #5 researchok

Right, I don’t know what morons respond to. Certainly not shame, one of the main reasons they are morons. Like I said, I’m not sure what to do with the ‘news’.

One more thing:

Notwithstanding the ‘I’m OK, You’re OK’ crowd, it is entirely appropriate to be repulsed and absolutely revile people who will stoop to the lowest levels of decency.

It is good not to want to be near them and it is good to push them away from our community.

Firstly, as a society, we have an obligation to maintain certain standards so that society might thrive. We are not put here to kill each other- and that applies to believers and non believers.

Secondly- and in some ways most tragic- we have to understand there are some things you cannot fix. Those things must be so marginalized to a place where they do the least amount of damage.

re: #6 Bob Levin

No easy answers.

But I do know this- I believe had there been a global effort to marginalize the great haters of the last century early on, maybe some of the atrocities might not have occurred.

I have to believe that- because otherwise, it keeps on happening.

‘Never Again’ is a slogan- it includes actions.

The same view. Must I say more?

Romantic Heretic Sun, Apr 29, 2012 5:35:08pm

My thought on seeing the headline was, “I see Pastor Jones has decided that some more American soldiers have to die.”

But that’s a price he’s willing to pay to advance the cause of Christianity.

Bob Levin Sun, Apr 29, 2012 5:47:01pm

re: #7 researchok

I quite agree. But with pocket video, Facebook, and Youtube, it’s hard to push them somewhere out of site.

No argument here.

No one said it would be easy

re: #8 researchok

Oh boy is that a long discussion. And related to the article this morning about Adorno and Marcuse. I tend to go with their analysis on the causes of the tragic last century. I was surprised how much clearer the causes appeared in the documentary about WWI.

Big scope.

Again? I guess the donations from his previous act of abject stupidity were drying up and he needed to do something to pull some more in from the type of gullible imbecile who would listen to him long enough to get hooked.

I thought he swore to never to do this again after the last time resulted in the deaths of some of our people overseas?

Oh well, to build a mega-church and become a millionaire pastor who spends more time with the media than his own flock you simply have to “break a few eggs,” right?

SidewaysQuark Sun, Apr 29, 2012 6:12:05pm

Poor Terry can’t seem to accept he’s yesterday’s news since he almost shot himself in the foot.

jhncsy Sun, Apr 29, 2012 8:48:16pm

Didn’t this guy already burn the Koran, or am I thinking of someone else.

Also, I forgot this guy was still alive.

docproto48 Mon, Apr 30, 2012 12:41:54am

There are two sides to this insanity as I see it,

1. Burning the Quran, Koran Qur’an (whichever spelling is “correct”) is a little like the playground bully that likes to pick on a kid because he will cry this form of “protest” (what’s he protesting?) is likable to some because it gets such a rise out of some Islamics

2 . How will Christians react if the Bible is burned or Jesus is burned in effigy? I suspect a very tiny minority will react similarly. My point being that yes it is stupid but there is a segment of the population that is reacting inappropriately to this so they in turn “protest” in a manner that is highly offensive to us.

Our view of what the appropriate counter protest would be is a big march with lots of signs, yelling and burning Bibles.
