title: does religion burn the fuel of hate?
date: Wednesday, August 04, 2010

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.


I don't know if I should take it as an insult or just a joke. The way people look at my religion has all changed, after a group of guys, decide to fly into the twin towers. It just takes a handful of people, to hate a religion. Its sad to know that "the religion of peace", is being labelled as - the religion of the devil.


I was taught, since i was young that Islam is a religion of peace and cleanliness - and that is how i still look at it. So for a Pastor to come and shout out that my religion is of the devil, then that is just a lil insulting.


I'm not saying that I hate Christianity, cause

I DON'T - cause i respect them as a religion.


I graduated from a Christian Secondary School and they have taught us better things than that.


I just think that if they really wanna make their voice heard, then maybe they shouldn't burn a sacred book. That is just my opinion, and I'm not speaking on anyone's behalf, cause to me, if i don't say anything or voice this out then i'm just being a coward-less muslim, who is afraid to stand up for what she believes in.
