It's ridiculous. Because of what a small majority of people did, 9 years ago, he wants to burn their version of the Bible? That's terrible and disrespectful on so many levels.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

small majority - wouldn't that be a minority?

its not 'their version of the bible', its just their holy book.

Yes I'm Muslim and am veeeery amricanized (since my great great grandma we've live here) so it makes me feel awkward to tell people I'm Muslim because the first thing they think is 'ahhhhhh terrorist' it's really hurtful ):

Oh and btw me and my family are disgusted with the twisted people that did 9/11, so it hurts more to know people blame the whole race ):

Not a race. It's a religion.

My whole point is that Hitler blamed all Jews for them losing in WW1. Some people are doing something similar things but with 9/11 and Muslims. It's rediculous and makes the whole country look crazy and mean. On behalf of the sane americans (you must no a lot considering you grew up here) I'm sorry.

I'ts aweful to do that. I don't agree with the Muslim religion, but that doesn't mean you should hurt it's people by burning something that's so important to them. I'd take it personally. I'd die a little inside if someone hated me that much.

what do you mean you don't agree with the religion?

I mean, I'm not a muslim and I disagree with their beliefs and practices.

Why are some Americans so ignorant? Do we call every German a Nazi? Why should we assume just because someone is Muslim that he/she is a terrorist? I know many kind and wonderful people that are Muslim/Islamic, and honestly, I think they are way more intelligent than some white people I know. It's pretty pathetic to generalize or stereotype if you ask me, because it just shows how uneducated you are. I'm Catholic, and what that Pastor is planning to do breaks my heart. Yet another reason people will have to bash on us Christians. So yeah, I think this whole situation is pretty effed up. Actually, it's REALLY effed up.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Technically speaking, saying that more of the Muslims you know are smarter than the whites is stereotyping them.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(Chauncy Pickles): No, believe it or not, I'm talking about the people I've met are kinder and more intelligent than some white people I KNOW. So technically speaking, I didn't stereotype anyone.

Maybe it's just me then. My parents are Palestinean Muslims, and alot of my cousins are either quiet background people who do what they can to get by or really obnoxious recluses who don't make education a priority. That could just be my family, but I find as the latter get older that they seem to develop even worse habits.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

(Chauncy Pickles): You see? I don't mean that ALL Muslims are amazing people. There are bad Christian people, there are good Christian people, just like there are bad Muslim people and good Muslim people. I never thought attitude or the way a person acts really had anything to do with race. If that's the way your cousins were taught, then I doubt it had anything to do with the fact that they were born Muslim.

I think that even the fact that he'd think to take a day of mourning and remembrance(even I lost a friend in 9/11) and turn it into a day of such hatred is just sick and not at all respectful to those who died.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I don't care of what faith, background or whatever, buring a book is just a sign of ignorance.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

i read ( on yahoo ) that he is reconsidering it now , but he is trying to bargain or something about the mosque ...? to me , it is unbelievably stupid & so disrespectful , giving his entire religion a bad name , disrespecting his god ( because i dont believe in a god ) , & yet providing the world the rest of the world with more reasons to hate us . & YES , they will hate ALL of the u.s. instead of the minority of radicals who oppose them , same as how some of our people hate all of them instead of just the radicals . the world is in a completely messed up state right now ):

The Muslim themselves didn't to the terrorist attack, it was the radical Muslims that did it. Average Muslims hate the radical's since they give most Muslims a bad name. I've had a best friend that was Muslim and she was the nicest person you'll ever know! she wouldn't even hurt a fly. But of course all religions have there crazyies. That pastor has no right to burn there holy book just because of one radical groups attack, its wrong, and I hope he loses his job

No, when I said "Christianity" I was referring to the religion. That might be a more general description, or it might just be the description found in the glossary of a Bible just to show that they think all other religions are encompassed by the Christianity bubble. What was the and for?

It's not right to build a mosque near ground zero nor is it right to burn a stack of freaking Qu'rans.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Why is it not right to build a mosque near ground zero? It's just a place to hold religious services; it shouldn't matter whether the mosque is built next to ground zero or next to a McDonald's on the other side of the country. That is like saying it is wrong to build a church or temple next to ground zero, although I am not saying the construction of churches or temples there is necessarily right either. Not to put all Christians into one general category, but they would be more likely to use ground zero to fuel hatred of Islamic Americans and Muslims in general. The mosque is not directly linked to Al-Qaeda just like the church is not directly linked to the Klu Klux Klan. America is supposed to be a place where it's citizens don't have to worry being attacked or harassed about their opinions and beliefs.
