The Politics of Listening

The news is leading many national and world newscasts, blogs and sites and that takes focus away from the liberal's up for re-election and Obama and ticks them off. Welcome to the Tea Party. The Rev. Bob Old of Springfield, Tenn., doesn't care what they think. The longtime Baptist minister says the Rev. Terry Jones of the Dove World Center Outreach in Gainesville, Fla., is doing the right thing by burning the Quran. So he's going to do likewise. And if he had his way, there would be no Muslims in America. "If they want to have their religion, they can have it somewhere else," said Old, former pastor of First Baptist Church in Joelton and Academy Heights Baptist Church in Gallatin, which merged with another church. He no longer has a congregation and instead runs an evangelical ministry called Disciples of Christ. News of the local Quran burning angered the Rev. Larry Herbert of Faith Covenant Church in Springfield. He dismissed it as a publicity stunt. The Koran Burning is not THE END OF CIVILIZATION.

"The A-TEAM" says: I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER.

The "ONLY HUMAN" that can Condemn this book burning is Jesus Christ, the LDS Church is "HIS" true Church. All other's can "just get over it" right now. Even Sarah Palin would say, "YOU BETCHA" the Quran burning flap a distraction from Obama agenda. First came the outrage over plans for a mosque near ground zero. Now there's anger over a Florida church's plan to burn copies of the Quran. Caught up in it all is President Barack Obama, who'd rather be talking about something and anything else. Yet there he was on TV denouncing the church's plans as a "stunt" that could "greatly endanger our young men and women who are in uniform" and incite al-Qaida suicide bombers. I'm sure he thinks these Americans exercising their first amendment rights are acting "stupidly." LDS Church, Glenn Beck, Mitt Romney (the quiter) oppose Quran burning?. Obama, the Constitutionalist Lawyer knows this. What does it say in our US constitution about freedom of assembly, free speech and expression and free speech ?. American church will burn copies of the Muslim un-holy book as planned on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks.

Personally I think that people just need to be more tolerent. The statement made by the reverand Bob Old, "If they want to have their religion, they can have it somewhere else," seems somewhat hipocritical to me because he has the right in the United States Of America to practice his religion. freedom of religion is one of the things that I love about this country. but no religion should be so disrespectful as to burn another religion's sacred scriptures. The real problem is that the muslims who took part in the protests and revolts will now forever see all americans as Quron burning, fanatics. much the same way as americans tend to see muslims as plane hijacking suicide bombers. obviosly neither group fits the stereotypes produced by the minorities of both parties. I encourage everyone to try to see past the hate, and realize that muslims are good people, just like us Americans.
