Terry Jones, is he an American or a Terrorist?

Terry Jones, of the Dove World Church, has planned an "International Burn a Koran Day" to coincide with the remembrances of Sept 11th.

This man claims to be a Christian and an American but he presents himself as the opposite.

Terry Jones is putting our troops in harms way with his rants about Islam being evil. Is this not what the Talaban says about Christians? He is jeopardising our relationship with all religious groups around the world including those that support us.

All of our soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq are being targeted more because of this man. He is giving Iran and other radical factions more ammunition to use against us. He is trivializing the freedoms that these brave men and women are fighting for and represent here and abroad.

Terry Jones claims to be an American but has forgotten one of the basics that America was founded on: "Freedom of Religion"

Jones has been denied a Burn permit and if he goes ahead with his plans he should be arrested. If he goes ahead with his plans he should be arrested for inciting a riot as I am sure that is exactly what will happen across the US and around the world. For every serviceman that is killed because of this, he should be charged with murder and for every serviceman that is hurt he should be charged with attempted murder.

This man does not represent any Christian I know and does not want anything except to put himself up above everyone else on a powerplay of his own. Maybe he needs to reread his bible, the constitution and the bill of rights. Ego seems to be taking over his brain. "All men are created equal", "Acceptance" and "Forgiveness" .

Please do not let this small minded man, economic circumstances, or anything else make you believe what he wants to do is the right thing to do. IT IS NOT!!

If you are considering joining in his burn, ask yourself "have I lost anyone; family, friend or neighbor, in this war and did they die in vain". Did your parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, and further back waste their lives forming this country, giving us the freedoms we enjoy for you to join in throwing them all away.

If you ARE a Christian ask yourself "What would Jesus do?"

Think before you do anything on Sept 11th, about the men and women that lost their lives in the Towers and the fact that they came from all religions.
