Members of a church in Gainesville, Florida are planning to commemorate the anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 by burning Korans. The "International Burn A Quran Day," is just the latest in anti-Islamic protests that the Dove World Outreach Center holds each year on 9/11.
"The goal of these and other protests are to give Muslims an opportunity to convert," said the church's pastor, Terry Jones.
The church stirred up controversy last year when in July, they put out signs that read "Islam Is of the Devil," which is also the title of the pastor's book which is widely available on ebay at a substantial discount from the publisher’s list price.
"We are definitely trying to send the message that Jesus Christ is the only way, said Jones.
The church has been known for its controversial nature since it was founded by Jones in 1981. The Dove World Outreach Center has also been very outspoken about abortion, gay marriage and homosexuality.
Members of the congregation plan to meet on August 2 to protest the election of Gainesville's first gay mayor. They have come under scrutiny in the past for picketing with signs that said "No Homo Mayor."

Granted, this is not a Baptist Church, but I believe the message they are going to send is well within the beliefs that we cherish. An added bonus is they are against homers and their gay “marriages” and killing innocent children before their first breath.
I have already contacted Pastor Jones to ask if he feels there is a need for a security force to be present to stand up for their First Amendment Rights when they will undoubtedly be assaulted by leftist lieberals and their commie supporters in the main street media.
He readily agreed and will welcome any and all who support them in their God-Given right to free speech and to spit on the Korans before throwing them into the pyre.
I am calling for all able bodied LBC members who have had nearly two days of Navy Seal training like me to step forward and ride the bus to Gainesville in time to protect these Godly people in their noble mission.
(It would be very nice if the LBC security committee would front us the necessary funds to rent the bus. Greyhound’s people tell me a “generous” discount is available for church groups.)
