Terry Jones at it again
His plans are to burn 3000 Korans on the property of a Bill McKinney (a name to check on) on September 11. I suspect his core motivation is to get more people killed... trying to spark more violence in the mideast and maybe even start WWIII between the Islamic world and America (thus "hastening Jesus' return"). Plus controversy like this serves the interests of his religion (which I consider a perversion of what Jesus taught) by stirring people up to give more "for the fight against those heathen Moslems!" (or some similar wording) and to increase the persecution complex of the dominionists. (They don't seem to see that they experience a reaction... that they bring the things they experience down on themselves by forcing their religion on others - and legal action is rarely retaliation, especially when there are laws against SLAPP lawsuits.) The guy is an embarrassment for the decent people in this county... which IMO are few and far between. It's not surprising that he moved here however... I may have known him back when I was a dominionist living here (30 years ago) and this county IS a hotbed of dominionist activity. In this county, if you drive anywhere you're going to see signs promoting their ideology such as "America is a Christian Nation" or similar, and while I've not read statistics on it, it does seem to me that Polk County, Florida has had more separation of church and state lawsuits filed or threatened than anywhere else. So, for the most part, he fits right in... and before I stopped associating with the mainstream churches here, I heard language such as he uses (and calls for things like he supports - like burning Korans) on a regular basis. I told my wife this morning about his plans... and my concerns that militant Islamists from other countries wouldn't see the difference between people like myself and people like him. If he goes through with his plans, we can expect more trouble - and while I'm sure he doesn't care, more blood on his hands (as he's responsible for the violence he stirs up - because he's deliberately stirring it up). The moderate Muslims also need our support... because I'm sure they're also going to pay a price for Terry's stupidity. All of us of good hearts must stand together.
