THIS THING IS SPINNING COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL. Some Christians are allowing a simple minded pastor to lead them down a path of destruction that won't bring anymore unity to this country, but will divide it more than ever. What disgusts me even more, is the fact that Pastor Terry Jones didnt make this about the Ground Zero Mosque until he realized how much attention he was getting.
As Ramadan ends, it leads us into the anniversary of the September 11 attacks. In no way, shape, form, or fashion do I believe that unity will be achieved by trying to crucify a religion that makes up a large amount of our population. New York City is a melting pot of all types of people, so just like how the Christian families lost somebody, Muslim families lost somebody too.
I dont believe you can blame the entire religion of Islam for the Sept. 11th attacks. If thats the case then I can blame the entire Christian world for slavery, or all Atheists for the Holocaust. We as the people of America need to realize that radicalism is not the way to fix anything. If they want an Mosque near Ground Zero let them have it. There are plenty of churches near Ground Zero. What will one mosque do in comparison to the numerous amounts of churches in NYC?
The funniest part of this whole thing is that growing up in the Christian community, I was always taught that I was never to intentionally provoke anyone, hurt anyone, or do anything that would bring shame to the Christian name. I cant imagine Christ burning a book that has His name mentioned in it in a positive manner. Better yet in Ephesian 4:2-3 it says," I urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace." God would not be pleased by this group because they are not following His word. Whatever happened to "Be ye holy, for I am holy." or "Dont judge lest ye be judged?"
Wake up!!!!!
