Right-Wing Christian Militia Vows To Protect Florida Church Burning Qurans On September 11 (Updated)

[meegbear]

Despite the city’s fire protection ordinances, the poorly-named Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, FL is committed to hosting “International Burn a Quran Day” on September 11. The radical church, which boasts an “Islam Is Of The Devil” message on a sign outside the church and as the title of its pastor’s book, insists “we will still burn Korans” on the church grounds despite being denied a permit. While the church may be fined for openly burning the holy texts, one “armed Christian conservative group” aptly named Right Wing Extreme vowed Sunday to protect the church from any other harassment during the burning:

The Christian conservative organization Right Wing Extreme has offered its support and protection for the International Burn a Quran day.

Right Wing Extreme was founded in April of 2009 after the Department of Homeland Security’s report titled Right Wing Extremism.(...)

“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.” Says Right Wing Extreme founder Shannon Carson.

Right Wing Extreme insists that “President Obama is a Muslim who is intentionally destroying America’s economy, constitution, and has a socialist agenda aimed at bringing about a New World Order.” The group measures its “state of alert” through a “Defcon system.” Currently set at level 3, the “Defcon system” warns that the group’s “moral and ethical code are under moderate attack” and that the U.S. Constitution is only “partially intact.” According to their ethical code, members swear to defend the Constitution and recognize “that freedom comes by the shedding of blood and sacrifice.”

While Right Wing Extreme is supporting the church’s “protest” of Islam by militaristic means, one non-profit Muslim group, the Book of Signs, is countering the protest by “distributing 50 free Qurans for every Quran burned” and by urging bookstores to refuse to sell Qurans to those involved.

Update: 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."

1. I do not condone violence I am just stating facts

These militias are so gung ho. THEY think they are the only ones with guns and will use them. It seems to me they overlook the fact that a lot of people on the other side are sick and tired of the ranting and raving. They might also show up with guns etc. Then the right wing will have started exactly what they hoped to do. All out conflict. This is what he right wing spewers of hate are hoping for. they can easily manipulate the tea bags etc in to doing anything they want them to do. But they are going to go too far and violence, real violence is what is going to happen just wait.
