In protest of what it calls a religion "of the devil," a nondenominational church in Gainesville, Florida, plans to host an "International Burn a Quran Day" on the ninth anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks.
The Dove World Outreach Center says it is hosting the event to remember 9/11 victims and take a stand against Islam. With promotions on its website and Facebook page, it invites Christians to burn the Muslim holy book at the church from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
"We believe that Islam is of the devil, that it's causing billions of people to go to hell, it is a deceptive religion, it is a violent religion and that is proven many, many times," Pastor Terry Jones told CNN's Rick Sanchez earlier this week.
Jones wrote a book titled "Islam is of the Devil," and the church sells coffee mugs and shirts featuring the phrase.
Muslims and many other Christians -- including some evangelicals -- are fighting the initiative.
The church launched a YouTube channel to disseminate its messages.
"I mean ask yourself, have you ever really seen a really happy Muslim? As they're on the way to Mecca? As they gather together in the mosque on the floor? Does it look like a real religion of joy?" Jones asks in one of his YouTube posts.
"No, to me it looks like a religion of the devil."
Religion of JOY? This fuckwit is calling his flavor of Christianity a "religion of JOY"? His is a religion which says that if you don't believe EXACTLY AS HE DOES, a man in the sky is going to cast you into a fiery pit for all eternity. Now perhaps Pastor Terry Jones, who presumably is not THIS Terry Jones:
...gets his rocks off by imagining heathen burning in a fiery pit. With this kind of wackadoo, you never know. But I'll tell you this much -- Christians like this are ALMOST enough to make me put on a hijab myself.
