Wednesday, May 25, 2005 Newsweek Damaged US Image? What About THIS? A Baptist minister in NC refuses to apologize for a church sign saying the Muslim Koran should be flushed. The Rev Creighton Lovelace of Danieltown Baptist Church says he believes it's a statement that the Bible is above any other religious book "that does not teach Christ as savior and lord." CAIR (Council of American-Islamic Relations) said: "Christians often ask themselves, 'What would Jesus do?'" said CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper. "I don't think Jesus, who is loved by Muslims and mentioned frequently in the Quran, would use such hate-filled and divisive rhetoric." He called on Americans of all faiths to take advantage of CAIR's recent offer of a free Quran for anyone interested in learning the truth about Islam and Muslims. Hmm... I wonder if they will also offer free copies of the Bible so these bigoted backwater idiots can learn the truth about Christianity & Jesus and follow Jesus' teachings of acceptance and tolerance? Imagine if a mosque's sign said flush the Bible-- Christians would rightfully be pissed off. You don't have to buy into someone else's religious beliefs in order to respect the holding of those beliefs. This sign says, in essence, that "Your religion is shit & should be flushed", but should we even be shocked since Dobson's spoiled brat son is the author of a book entitled -- I shit you not -- Be Intolerant: Because Some Things Are Just Stupid. Yes, you intolerant bigot.... some things are just stupid. |
