Got time to send this guy a quick email? Apparently he is planning on burning the Qur'an on 9/11. He has been getting death threats from around the world and has taken to carrying a gun. A US General has asked the church not to do this because it could spark world violence. I sent him a quick email here. Here is what I said:
I know that many people are urging you not to burn the Qur'an, but I'd like to let you know that I, too, urge you not to.
I am an atheist, but I still respect other people's holy texts. I would no more support burning the Qur'an than support burning the bible. I see that as one in the same. I understand that you do not, but I would just like you to think about what you would do if the Muslim community took to burning bibles.
I know that many people have killed in the name of Allah, but need I remind you how many have killed in the name of Christ? I sincerely hope you reconsider your plans.
Very good. I will shoot him an email as well.
ReplyDeleteThe Vatican even thinks it's outrageous to burn it. THE VATICAN!
