This blog is based on the story of the "pastor" Terry Jones who recently burned the Holy Qur'an. Read the story here:
I feel this is blown out of proportion, now before you get upset let me explain. See I'm not a Muslim, I am a Christian. I don't know any of the beliefs they ascribe to and what type of religious rituals they perform. All I know is what I know.
Now.... let's say someone burned a Bible and I got wind of it. I wouldn't kill the people similar to the individual that did it. This is what happened to some American civilians overseas as a result of Terry's actions. Is he to blame? Yes and no. Sure he enraged them and that led to them executing these people, but he cannot control other people, he can only control himself.
I said it is blown out of proportion because people are not thinking clearly. If someone burned a Bible I would think it was wrong but I would not let it control my emotions because there are millions of Bible's in the world!! I understand that it is highly disrespectful, but people take on the role of God too often. God will handle him for the hate seeds he is sowing. A pastor is supposed to be a symbol of God's divine love and wisdom transmitted through his or her vessel. This "pastor" is an agent of deception who's motivation is to rile up the Muslims and make the Christian's appear to be intolerant of other religions. This also makes America even MORE hated.
The most important issue here is the loss of lives.... burning a book does not change what the book contained. If you know what God says in your heart and mind, why let a MAN move you to such extremes?
To all my Muslim readers I apologize for his behavior. I got love for everyone so if you're a Muslim, be proud of it!
God bless you.
What are your thoughts?
