In a bizarre move which is amusing as well as awful, a church in Florida, US, is reportedly planning to host an "International Burn a Quran Day" on September 11 this year, the anniversary of 9/11 terror attacks.
This move has been criticized by many Muslims as well as Christian groups.
The Dove World Outreach Centre in Gainesville, Florida, plans to host this event in its premises to remember the victims of 9/11 and take a ‘stand against Islam’ which for them is a "deceptive religion" and "of the devil". In fact, they have erected hoardings on their campus with the hate message.
"We believe that Islam is of the devil, that it's causing billions of people to go to hell, it is a deceptive religion, it is a violent religion and that is proven many, many times," church pastor Terry Jones was quoted as saying by the CNN.
The church has been promoting the event on social networking site, Facebook, where it has about 1600 fans. "Eternal fire is the only destination the Quran can lead people to, so we want to put the Quran in its place - the fire!" the page says.
The church also launched a YouTube video to disseminate the message.This is quite disturbing to the Muslims as well as Christians along with anybody who can think rationally. In an age of reason and logic, these comments (and events) from a religious body which teaches love and forgiveness, are ridiculous.
Earlier some people started a draw prophet Mohamed day on the pretext of freedom of expression.This is clearly an insult to the religion of which some fanatics created trouble and whole community is being targeted. This is a matter of gross generalisation and totally unreasonable.
.The Qur'an is a revalation from God. ����It has like 3 verses that talks about acohol. ����One if the verses let's us drink alcohol but by the time the last verse came out it became unlawful for us Muslims to drink alcohol. ����So the later verses came and cancel the early ones. ����The Qur'anic revelations came down in stages depending on the issues that Muslims were facing. ����N one of the issues z that we were being attack by Rome, pagans ect. God told us to defend our selves against them. That don't mean that we continue killing infidels as ya like to put it. ����The Qur'an z not a book that u can just read n understand with out prior knowledge such as tafsir(commentary) and ����from hadith(Prophets sayings etc). ����Ya should study Islam and ur own religion to find out the truth for yourself instade of just following ur four fathers. ����Many ppl probably don't know that Muslims belive in Jesus,Abraham,Ishmale, Isaac, and Moses. (Peace be upon them all). ����Remember when the Jews were being attack tgey went for safety in the Muslim lands. ����N remember when us Muslims were being attack we went to albasenua christsn ruler for safety. ���� The Qur'an calks Jews n christand people of the book(scripture). We use to coexist doing the prophets (peace be upon hims time). Brothers and sisters remember that Allah says "Invite (all) to the way of the lord with wisdom and beautiful preaching; and argue with them in ways that are best and most gracious: for thy Lird knoweth best, who have strayed from His path, and who receive guidance" Qur'anThe chidren of Israel verse 125
N remember That Allah(Arabic for God) says in Quran The cow verse 153 " O ye who believe! Seek help with patient Perseverance and Prayer: for God is with those who patiently persevere"����
Verse 155
"Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger, some loss in goods, lives and the frits(of your toil), but give tidings to those who patiently persevere����
Verse 156 "Who say, when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah we belong, and to Him is our return
Verse 157 " Tgey are those on whom (Descend) blessings from their Lord, and Mercy. And they are the ones that receive guidence"
Remember we learn from the Quran that they r good people among the people of the book. Let's not do anything bad. Thank you for ur time.����
.These kind of acts utterly show the black hearts of those behind it. Burning the Holly Quran is the most racist and evil work ever done by those extremist Christians. They should stop because THEY represent the "devil" not Muslims. Islam is solely about Peace and Toleration, and those who think otherwise no doubts have gone way too far in misinterpreting its religious standings. I believe they should read the Holly Quran instead of trying to "burn" it; although the latter, if done, would not have the slightest impact on Islam as the 2nd biggest religion on earth and the 1st in growth.
I believe if those so-called "Christians" read their Bible, they wouldn't go that far.
