Gee, a Christian church that takes seriously Jesus’ command to: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” How come we are not hearing more about this church? Just wondering?
Cordova Christians put out welcome mat for new mosque

When pastor Steve Stone initially heard of the mosque and Islamic center being erected on the sprawling land adjacent his church, his stomach tightened.
Then he raised a 6-foot sign reading, “Welcome to the Neighborhood.”

Wish the idiot minister in Gainesville, FL would listen to the folks mentioned in the above article, as well as others in the world, and decide that his special God (who is telling him to burn the Qurans) has changed his/her mind and has told him not to burn them after all.

The trouble with people is that some move too far to the right and some too far to the left. There is a danger with Islam in that no other religion is producing suicide bombers no other religion produce so many extremist that wish death on others. The demonstration which is still celebrated of the planes into bombs (9/11) is not a practice of any other religious group. At the same time the majority of Muslims are just work a day citizen but you can’t just say forget what happened.
Many people are left in complex thoughts on this situation and it is no simple answer so far.

The simple answer is, treat our fellow citizens as fellow citizens, with the dignity and respect you’d like to get. That will encourage our fellow citizens who may be more likely to hear about something suspicious to share it with the authorities. Treating our Muslim neighbors like aliens makes our lives more dangerous, not less dangerous. And it’s un-American, or should be.

Like I said there is no simple answer unless you have a simple mind. For the most part all Americans treat each other the way they would like to be treated, that does not change things. We still have people hatching terrorist plots and we still have people provoking other groups by burning meaningful symbols and then we have people who finger point and name call and swear they have the answer.

No, that is the simple answer. Try to get your mind around the idea of treating others with respect.

nnmns your ego will not let you process the fact that you are not the only person that treats people with respect, but give it a try. That is not the only solution

Relationship is a complicated issue and people perpetuate the complicated nature of relationship, (not just one kind of person so put your finger back into it’s holster). Some complications are generational, some are birthed out of hurts, most are birthed out of misinformation, some are easily generalized, the list goes on and the intricacies, facets, and dimensions are endless. Recently people have argued the mental challenges of prejudice or fear are a mental illness I don’t know that to be fact but I am leaning that it may be in many cases. Nevertheless when Islamic groups target Americans and we are losing so many love ones with war and terrorism there is a basis for reaction to simplify it is just silly judgmental folly we have to find a better answer. Any attempt to simplify this or exalt yourself will just create another riff, and it is nonproductive schoolyard behavior.

The media gave the church that purposed to burn the Quran way too much power with its coverage and the the flame delighted in feeding on the responses. People were played by the media, at some point some way the people should demand more responsible journalism if we can mature into it.

The media did a fine job of covering this situation. When people act in abnormal ways, in this case with the Church in Florida, it brought out the fact that this same Minister was asked to leave because of his behavior in Germany with his congregation there. He has extreme beliefs and they seem to be ongoing. The Center in N.Y.C. was brought into this when it didn’t have any connection with what they were doing in florida. It has been stopped for now and our troops overseas are safer tonight, but tomorrow night who knows. The media keeps the world informed and we need all the information we can get. It would be great nnmns if people would really respect each other, I agree with you, and that isn’t a simple solution to arrive at in 2010.

H if you think that this story deserved the international platform it received and that the fact that attention it received internationally was worth endangering our men and women aboard then I just don’t know what to say. This guy could not have paid for such exposure, now in circles important to him he is a celebrity and fanatics have a propaganda support that they are right that they could not afford to buy.

If this story didn’t get Interpols attention, Gen. Petreus, The President, we might be reading tommorow of our troops blowing up. Read about the leadership of this Minister on CNN today, and his personality traits. Pictures would have been on facebook, etc. showing him doing his thing. Nothing is silent today. Think about it.

amazingly inaccurate nonsense H you outdo yourself.

There’s the US media and the overseas media, and they can be very different. If the US media didn’t cover it and it hadn’t been (we hope) stifled and the media in Muslim countries had covered it, as Henrietta says we might have woken up with our troops being blown up.
On the other hand, the guy got entirely more publicity than he deserved.

I am happy about your perspective nnmns but as for “our troops being blown up” they are being killed. Did you read about the Iraqi military guy who shot troops as a result of a argument as road bombs in Afghanistan blew up, have you’ve noticed the body count?

Are you saying they should come home? I could agree on that.
Are you surprised when people get mad that drones kill civilians and that a few soldiers go nuts? And when a few people kill over it? Are you really surprised over that?

Fortunately he backed down. Has had his 15 minutes of fame, now he should crawl back into the hole he crawled out of.

actually I think it serves no value to maintain a presence on either front, I also think the whole drone thing is evidence that we shouldn’t be there where we result to murder by technology. That kind of murder can turn the murders into something ugly. Whoops too late. No I am not surprised about the stress injuries I endured them myself.

I agree pagan but I fear that may not be what will happen, I think he will enjoy fame and support from people as hateful as himself for some time

Unfortunately you may be right, cknuck, but I really hope your wrong and he just disappears and is forgotten—-forever!
