Iran Calls For Trial Of
Qur'an Burners
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

Iran Calls For Trial Of Qur'an Burners

Iran has called on the United Nations to condemn a church in the US state of Florida for burning a copy of the Muslim book of Qur'an. Iran's Ambassador to the United Nations Mohammad Khazaei said on Friday the incident offended Muslims all around the world, underlying that such acts promote violence. The Iranian official also noted that those who planned and carried out the desecration should be tried by judicial authorities. On March 20, American evangelical preacher Wayne Sapp set fire to a copy of the Qur'an in a small church in Florida. Sapp, a member of the Dove World Outreach Center, claimed that the book had been found "guilty" of crimes in the course of an eight-month trial and was therefore "executed." Several Muslim scholars have described burning the Qur'an as a hate crime and a blasphemous act. They say such extremist acts are the end result of promoting Islamophobia in the United States.
Legal experts say that based on International Laws, the US is duty bound to prevent the spread of religious hatred (not according to the US Constitution, anyone is free to hate a stupid religion if they want to). Terry Jones, the head of Dove World Outreach Center, who had planned to burn the Qur'an last year on the anniversary of September 11, 2001 attacks, was also present during the event. Jones' plan had sparked outrage in the Muslim world with millions demonstrating across the globe to denounce the desecration of the book. The plan was finally cancelled at the last minute when US officials warned him of the possible consequences (actually they lied to the Pastor, but this time around he didn't buy the lie). The Vatican council had also blasted Jones' scheme as an "outrageous and grave gesture." (One false religion sticks up for another)
Some Points To Ponder
Why do Muslims burn the AMERICAN flag and Bibles? Non-Muslims are not outraged at these acts to the point they have to storm the UN in New York and kill UN workers.
In a free country one can burn the quran, physics books, science books, witchcraft books, etc. and it is all legal. If a science book is burned should scientists start pillaging and plundering because their sacred beliefs have been dissed?
Here's how it works in the United States; we live under FREEDOM. Mohammad Khazaei doesn't understand how that works. Here in the United States, we are free to express ourselves as we see fit, so long as no one is personally harmed, nor any other person’s property is damaged in the process. Unlike in Muslim countries where the Muslim Mafia will put a price on someone’s head for offending them while they burn down other religions buildings and kill evangelists.
What should the book burner be tried for? You need something specific a Florida court could actually test. A hate crime is too vague. Since when is it a crime to hate a book?
Such extremist acts are the end result of promoting Islamophobia in the United States? How can burning a book promote Islamophobia? People fear Islam when Islam kills people for not adhering to Islamic tenets. Therefore, Islam itself promotes Islamophobia not to mention hatred of such a violent and hateful false religion.
Koran-Burning Pastor Unrepentant in Face of Furor

Koran-Burning Pastor Unrepentant in Face of Furor
By LIZETTE ALVAREZ

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — His church’s membership is down to just a few of the faithful. He is basically broke. Some of his neighbors wish him ill. And his head, he said, carries a bounty. Yet Terry Jones, the pastor who organized a mock trial that ended with the burning of a Koran and led to violence in Afghanistan, remained unrepentant on Saturday. He said that he was “saddened” and “moved” by the deaths, but that given the chance he would do it all over again. “It was intended to stir the pot; if you don’t shake the boat, everyone will stay in their complacency,” Mr. Jones said in an interview at his office in the Dove World Outreach Center. “Emotionally, it’s not all that easy. People have tried to make us responsible for the people who are killed. It’s unfair and somewhat damaging.” Violent protests against the burning continued on Saturday in Kandahar, Afghanistan, where 9 people were killed and 81 injured. The previous day, 12 people were killed when a mob stormed a United Nations building in Mazar-i-Sharif, though on Saturday the top United Nations official in Afghanistan blamed Taliban infiltrators for the killings. He said the victims had been deliberately murdered rather than killed by an out-of-control mob.
“Did our action provoke them?” the pastor asked. “Of course. Is it a provocation that can be justified? Is it a provocation that should lead to death? When lawyers provoke me, when banks provoke me, when reporters provoke me, I can’t kill them. That would not fly.” Mr. Jones, 59, with his white walrus moustache, craggy face and basso profundo voice, seems like a man from a different time. Sitting at his desk in his mostly unadorned office, he keeps a Bible in a worn brown leather cover by his side and a “Braveheart” poster within sight. Both, he said, provide spiritual sustenance for the mission at hand: Spreading the word that Islam and the Koran are instruments of “violence, death and terrorism.” In recent weeks, Mr. Jones said, he had received 300 death threats, mostly via e-mail and telephone, and had been told by the F.B.I. that there was a $2.4 million contract on his life. For protection, his followers — the 20 to 30 who are left — openly carry guns (they have licenses, he said) and have become more rigorous about checking their cars and visitors’ bags. Police protection is sometimes required when members travel, he said.
Mr. Jones’s rustic church sits on 20 acres of land, up a long driveway that is dotted with Australian pines. There is a small aboveground pool, and three police cars idled nearby on Saturday. “I don’t right now feel personally afraid,” he said. “But we are armed.” Mr. Jones said the decision to hold the mock trial of the Koran on March 20 was not made lightly. “We were worried,” he said. “We knew it was possible. We knew they might act with violence.” There were similar predictions last year when Mr. Jones threatened to burn the Islamic book on Sept. 11. While that decision was being discussed, throngs of reporters descended on the church, and Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates personally called and asked Mr. Jones not to do it. President Obama appealed to him over the airwaves. This time would be different — and not just because the event would be held in relative obscurity, before only a small group of sympathizers. This time, Mr. Jones said, there would be a trial, a fact that he said added heft to his decision. He teamed up with The Truth TV, a satellite channel out of California that is led by Ahmed Abaza, a former Muslim who converted to Christianity and who, Mr. Jones said, sympathizes with the church’s message.
The pastor said The Truth TV reached out to him last year after he canceled his plan to burn the Koran, and a partnership of sorts has since flourished. Mr. Abaza helped provide him with most of the witnesses and lawyers for the mock trial, Mr. Jones said. “I was not the judge,” said Mr. Jones, who also said he had read only portions of the Koran and not the entire text. There was a prosecutor and a defense lawyer for the Koran, an imam from Texas. There were witnesses — although the defense did not call any — and a jury. Yes, he said, he knew some of the jurors, and others came to the event after learning about it through his group’s Facebook page. (“People were afraid, so not many volunteered,” he said.) And yes, perhaps, his Facebook followers made up the majority who sentenced the Koran to burning in an online poll. Still, he said, “it was as fair a trial as we could have.” The Truth TV streamed the mock trial live in Arabic but chose not to broadcast the actual burning. Video of the trial can be found at the church Web site.
Mr. Jones’s mission is not a popular one in these parts. The Dove World Outreach Center’s membership evaporated after his preaching began to focus on what Mr. Jones said are the dangers of Islam. “We don’t have any members,” he said. “It’s not something your average person wants to do. “People want to hear the good news. But the church has a responsibility to speak about the word of God. But it also has to speak out about what is right — be it abortion or Islam. Churches and pastors are afraid.” He said he was no longer welcome in Gainesville — which he considers too small and unenlightened to understand his message — and is seeking to move. First, though, he has to sell the church’s property, which is not easy in Florida, which is one of the nation’s foreclosure capitals. And as his personal stake in his mission grows deeper, his bank account is running dry. (One source of income comes from his eBay sales of antique furniture, some of which he stores in the church.) “Things are not easy at this particular time,” said Mr. Jones, a Missouri native whose first career was as a hotel manager. “This has not been a moneymaking venture.” Residents in this city, home to the University of Florida, are also less than thrilled. Out in front of the church, signs that read “Islam Is of the Devil” have been edited by outsiders to say “Love All Men.”
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
(Psalm 119:165)
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men (Matt. 15:7-9).
Islamophobia, Political Correctness, and Unprepared Troops
Arguments A Weak Obama Government Uses To Concede Sharia Law

Islamophobia, Political Correctness, and Unprepared Troops
Arguments A Weak Obama Government Uses To Concede Sharia Law

It is reported that burning the Koran in America will endanger troops in Afghanistan. Is that not what our troops are over there for? To be prepared to exterminate the terrorists (who by the way worship the ungodly Koran) and to put themselves in harms way? Barak Hussein Obama should be thankful on many levels there are Americans who are burning the Koran. The terrorists (you know, the ones who chant death to Americans because of cartoons of their false prophet Mohammed and book burnings) will gather in one location and make the soldiers’ jobs easier.
Islamophobia is supposed to be defined as an irrational fear or prejudice towards Islam and Muslims. Burning the Koran hardly fits this definition. When people irrationally fear Islam they are NOT going to burn the Koran for “fear” of being killed by Islamic adherents. Burning a book because it is full of trash is hardly being prejudiced against a person; it is an act against an ungodly book (which is condoned by God). Lest those who haven’t followed the life of the false prophet Mohammed, heard of the hadith and have not read the Koran; here are a few facts.
1. The false prophet Mohammed married a girl and consummated the marriage while she was nine years old. (Sounds like a sick old man to me, not worthy of adoration.)
2. The Koran teaches it is okay to kill Christians and Jews (with the blessings of their false god).
3. The Koran teaches a man can have many wives and he can beat them if they get out of line (you don't hear Hillary Clinton talking about that now do you?)
4. Mohammed is Allah’s apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers…. Sura 48:29. (No comments on that one from the "peace-loving" Obama who supports the Koran?)
5. “The Day of Resurrection will not arrive until the Muslims make war against the Jews and kill them, and until a Jew hiding behind a rock and tree, and the rock and tree will say: ‘Oh Muslim, Oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!’” The hadith. (The UN seems to not know about this one, even though many Muslims claim they will keep fighting until Israel is pushed into the Mediterranean Sea, the Security Council is hush on this one, no?).
6. Believers (Islamic), take neither Jews nor Christians for your friends. They are friends with one another. (Jesus said love your enemies, the Koran says kill 'em).
7. Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them.... Sura 9:73 (General Patreaus, comments please?)
8. Within Islam there are certain provisions under which lying is not simply tolerated, but actually encouraged. The doctrine is called: Ketman (Arabic kitmān كتمان "secrecy, concealment") is the act of paying lip service to authority while holding personal opposition. It is a sort of political or religious camouflage, for the purpose of survival, in circumstances where open opposition would result in persecution. The book "The spirit of Islam," by the Muslim scholar, Afif A. Tabbarah was written to promote Islam. On page 247, Tabbarah stated: "Lying is not always bad, to be sure; there are times when telling a lie is more profitable and better for the general welfare, and for the settlement of conciliation among people, than telling the truth. To this effect, the Prophet says: 'He is not a false person who (through lies) settles conciliation among people, supports good or says what is good. Lying is a common policy amongst Islamic clerics and statesmen.
From "Ehiaa Oloum al-Din," by the famous Islamic scholar al-Ghazali, Vol. 3: PP.284-287: One of Mohammed's daughters, Umm Kalthoum, testified that she had never heard the Apostle of Allah condone lying, except in these three situations: For reconciliation among people. In war. Amongst spouses, to keep peace in the family. One passage from the Hadith quotes Mohammed as saying: "The sons of Adam are accountable for all lies except those uttered to help bring reconciliation between Muslims."
Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it (John 8:44).
Citing Quran-Burning Threat,
Islamic Body Wants U.N. to Outlaw ‘Offenses Against Religion’

Citing Quran-Burning Threat, Islamic Body Wants U.N. to Outlaw ‘Offenses Against Religion’
By Patrick Goodenough

A leading international Islamic body said Thursday that the United Nations should outlaw 'all forms of offense against religions.' (CNSNews.com) – Following the uproar over the threatened burning of the Quran by a small Florida church, a leading international Islamic body said Thursday that the United Nations should outlaw “all forms of offense against religions.” “The Florida Dove World Outreach Center Church’s plan to burn copies of the Holy Quran on September 11 … requires immediate action to outlaw all acts of defamation of religions and religious sanctities,” the Morocco-based Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) said in a communique.
“It is a blot on humanity that such discriminatory attack against Islam and Islamic holy sites is continuing in the absence of deterrent legal measures, local and international.” ISESCO, an arm of the 56-nation Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), called on the U.N. “to issue an international law criminalizing all forms of offense against religions under any circumstances.” Dove World pastor Terry Jones on Thursday afternoon said he was canceling the planned burning of Qurans, an announcement that topped news bulletins around the world and made front page headlines in newspapers from Jakarta to Karachi to Riyadh on Friday. Jones linked the decision to back down to an alleged agreement that the controversial planned Islamic center and mosque near Ground Zero would be relocated.
“The American people do not want the mosque there and of course Muslims do not want us to burn the Quran,” he said. “The imam [Feisal Abdul Rauf] has agreed to move the mosque, we have agreed to cancel our event on Saturday, and on Saturday I will be flying up there to meet with him.” Organizers of the so-called Park51 project quickly denied that any agreement had been made, however: “It is untrue that Park51 is being moved,” they said in a statement posted online. “The project is moving ahead as planned. What is being reported in the media is false.” The Florida Muslim cleric who mediated with Jones said later that the agreement was merely for a meeting between Jones and Rauf.
In turn, Jones said he had been “lied” to (the Muslim doctrine of Ketman) and was rethinking his decision to cancel. ISESCO’s call was an expected opening salvo in a fresh push by the OIC to use both the Quran-burning threat and the Manhattan mosque dispute to move forward its decade-old campaign to get the U.N. to outlaw what it calls “religious defamation” worldwide. The OIC argues that legal deterrents are necessary in the light of instances of “Islamophobia” which it says have increased significantly since 9/11. OIC publications use the label “Islamophobia” to cover a range of incidents and trends, from anti-Muslim graffiti to criticism of human rights abuses in Islamic states to counter-terrorism profiling.
Although it has succeeded in getting the U.N. General Assembly and Human Rights Council to pass annual “religious defamation” resolutions the OIC’s drive has been losing ground – in terms of the size of the vote – amid growing public awareness and opposition by religious freedom, freedom of expression and other advocacy groups. Critics say outlawing “religious defamation” would silence legitimate criticism of Islamic teachings and authorities, make life even more difficult for non-Muslim minorities, and amount to enforcing blasphemy-type laws similar to those in place in some of the OIC’s most activist member states, such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia.
The declining support for its resolution campaign has prompted the OIC to pursue a parallel strategy – to have an existing global anti-racism measure, the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD), amended to incorporate religion. A U.N. committee looking at identifying and rectifying any “gaps” in the ICERD is considering an OIC request to broaden its provisions to cover religion as well as race. Make it illegal: An editorial published by the Saudi daily Arab News Thursday expressed surprise that the U.S. authorities had no legal means of stopping the Quran-burning event because those behind it claimed to be “exercising their right to freedom of expression.” It echoed similar sentiments raised in editorials and news stories across the Islamic world in recent days.
“Ban the desecration now,” Dubai’s Khaleej Times editorialized on Wednesday. “It is hoped not just in the Muslim communities but enlightened, progressive and peaceful societies across the world that an act such as the Quran bonfire should be strictly forbidden.” In another small Gulf state, Bahrain, a meeting of multifaith leaders Thursday called on the U.N. to adopt a resolution during its upcoming General Assembly session outlawing the burning of texts held holy by any religion. In Iran, senior Shi’ite cleric Grand Ayatollah Saafi Golpayegani said Jones should be arrested immediately and his church permanently shut down.
The OIC has been campaigning for a decade to have what it calls “religious defamation” outlawed globally, citing incidents like the publication of images of Mohammed. (Elsewhere in Iran, a deputy defense minister said the U.S government was behind the Quran-burning event – an attempt to divert attention away from its global “crimes” – while Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said it had been “orchestrated by the Zionist regime after being defeated in its efforts against Muslims and the Islamic world.”) Writing on Townhall.com Friday, conservative columnist Diana West said that the only law Jones would break in burning Qurans is Islamic law. “With this in mind, it should become clear that the extraordinary global campaign against this stunt is yet another concerted effort, aided by an army’s worth of useful fools, to bring our constitutional republic into conformance with Islamic law,” she wrote.
Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.
(Psalm 119:165)
Ye hypocrites, well did Esaias prophesy of you, saying, This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me. But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men (Matt. 15:7-9).
