By now you've heard about that wacko "minister" Terry Jones who is planning to burn the Muslim holy book, the Quran, in Gainesville, Fla. Jones is the non-denominational minister of the Dove World Outreach Center who set off a controversy when he announced International Burn a Koran Day to mark the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
Well, now, another so called "man of God" is planning the same act of hatred of intolerance in Tennessee. The Rev. Bob Old of Springfield, Tennessee is just another example of the hypocracy of those who claim to be "religious" and "following God's law of love and acceptance of ALL others." Perhaps he should practice what he preaches instead of hateful and ignorant behavior.
The stupidity of desecrating someone else's holy book is purely an act of hatred. Why can't people like "Reverend" (who is obviously unqualified to be one) Old realize that it is EXTREMISTS that are responsible for 9/11, NOT muslims. Just as right-wing political people in our country are responsible for inciting acts of hatred on various minorities. Fundamentally, there's not much of a difference in the extremists. I find it fascinating that an extremist "religious" wing in the U.S. decides to "fight" an extremist "religious" wing in another country with the hatred and intolerance they're both famous for.
