Hi again,
This time I'm gonna give my opinions on the burning of the qurans to protest the mosque near ground zero in Nyc.
Rev. Terry Jones of Florida planned to burn qur'ans as a means of protest against the mosque that is to be be built at Ground Zero. Many people including President Obama have told him it would be better to back down. They fear that burning the Qur'ans will endanger our soldiers overseas in iraq and afganistan. Jones has back down at this time.
In Afghanistan, hundreds of angry Afghans burned an American flag and chanted "Death to the Christians" to protest the planned Quran burning.
This act will send a wrong message to the Muslims, even though we don't agree with them, burning the Qur'an is not the way to handle this!
Should we as Christians, who have ourselves in the past and the present been presecuated, do the same to others just because we don't agree with their beliefs? No, we shouldn't because God says to do onto others as you would have them do unto you. If we are presecuting others, what message are we sending as Christians? Not a good one. I believe we can share our opinions, but not through mocking, presucuting, and disrespecting others. We should give our opinions peacefully and show God through our ways and what we do. Jones by doing this, is sending a wrong idea of Christians. If we are what we say we are, christians, are we going to do what we think is justified by our own ways or what God told us how to treat others, even though we do not agree with them, and what is right.
Well, thanks for following my blog.
Hope this post helped,
