Let's Not Burn Anybody's Books.

OK, so the Dove World Outreach Church and it's pastor Terry Jones think it's a good idea to burn copies of the Koran. Do they really think it's a good idea? Or are they just grabbing for attention? I mean look at the name of the church. Dove (a sign of peace), Outreach ( the sort of thing you do when you want to foster understanding), Church (a place of worship). Do these word suggest a confrontational approach to life? General Petraeus is right on when he says that such an act would place American soldiers at increased risk. And that goes for any other Americans in any country where there are substantial numbers of Muslims. Do we really need the burning of religious books to remind us of 911? Did any of you folks forget about 911 and need this kind of a reminder of that terrible day? Do any of you actually think it was all Muslims that caused it? I hope that all Jews and all Muslims don't actually think that all Christians were involved in the crusades. Do we really need hatemongers to solve the world's problems? Does anyone think hate will solve these problems? Is America so pure that we can point fingers at others? Isn't there something in our Bible that suggests we check out the log in our own eye before we complain about the speck in someone else's eye?
