Fla. church organizing Sept. 11 burning of Quran

The Associated Press
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- A Gainesville church known for its statements against Islam is planning a Quran-burning ceremony on Sept. 11.

The Dove World Outreach Center is using its website and social-networking sites like Facebook to promote the event. Organizers plan to burn the Islamic holy text on church grounds.

In response, the Council on American-Islamic Relations is asking Muslims that day to invite friends and acquaintances to share educational, fast-ending Ramadan meals and distribute copies of the Quran.

The Gainesville church, which also campaigns against homosexuality, made headlines last year after distributing T-shirts that say "Islam is of the Devil."

Well, that's certainly what I would call a world outreach.

This sure looks like a good, wholesome event for a religion of peace.

[Corrderio]

So are these guys related to the Westboro church in any way? They sound about as stupid as them.

As long as there are no pictures it's okay.

This won't end well...

I think they're missing the point of the dove as a symbolic entity.

Rave on, fundamentalists of any religion. Rave on.

I have never seen a Qu'ran in my life. Do they even really exist?

burned at the stake if you're a gay Quran

[Caiti]

I'm honestly curious...what are the opinions around here about whether this will actually be allowed to take place?

At the very least it's pretty much asking for an increase in aggression towards troops in the middle east.

[Franzer]

all we can hope is the next time there is a comet or eclipse, this shitty religion will kill themselves so we can stop having to associate the US with retarded christian religions

I can guarantee you that Vajra would condone it and tell you about how Christianity is superior and about how converting Muslims is his godly duty. Just wait and behold the awesomeness

I swear. Vajra lives like 20 minutes away from me. I'm gonna hit him up one day and see what he's really like.

Jamaicans are REALLY into some God though. 'tf they need weed for when they got God?

Yep, Vajra is NY's finest. I picture all New Yorkers in his likeness.
