Militia Group Says Burning the Qur’an is un-Christian
The pastor behind next month's event accuses the armed conservative group of "giving in to pressure and fear."

Yesterday evening, CNN reported that Florida’s Dove World Outreach Center had arranged for an armed militia group to protect the Qur’an-burning event they scheduled for September 11.

This morning, it appears, the militia is having second thoughts.

“Right Wing Extreme has pulled support for the International Burning of the Koran day and will not attend the event,” the group announced in a 1:50 a.m. press release on its website. “After much thought and prayer the organization’s leadership determined this event does not glorify GOD in way that leads the lost to Jesus Christ.”

“Dove World Outreach are our brothers and sisters in Christ,” the release says. “However we ask that they not hold this event for the reason that it may diminish the work of the Holy Spirit to witness to Muslims.”

1. Florida’s Dove World Outreach Center

:wtf: What sort of outreach are they planning and what sort of Dove are they referring to? Is there any thought process going on at all down there in Florida?

3. Are there satanic doves?

Obviously, they're not referring to the dove of love and peace.

8. Most satanists are far nicer, more moral

and definitely more humane than that bunch.

14. Perhaps they plan to roast the dove ...

... over the flames?

2. If only Bishop Landa had thought that way.

5. To be sure! Of course, burning idols...

...was the least of his offenses.

16. Idols are nothing. He burned their books, their history.

And then wrote his amazement at how distressed they seemed.

I have actual fantasies of opening up a Mississipian mound and finding a protected vault of books saved from Landa's fires.

4. So the Militia group is more christian than the church?

Wow. :wow:

6. Maybe they

Got a phone call from Mr.T
"I pity the fool who shows up at this book burnin!"

[pinboy3niner]

11. LOL!

The church thinks the militia succumbed to pressure, and the militia is catching a lot of flak from wingnuts for bailing.

I'm really curious to find out what changed the minds of the militia leaders.

Love the Mr. T pic! :)
