movie distribution. He helped spread the word.

"Last week, an Egyptian-American Copt known for his broadsides against Muslims drew attention to the trailer in an Arabic-language blog post and an e-mail newsletter in English publicizing the latest publicity stunt of the Florida pastor Terry Jones, reviled in the Muslim world for burning copies of the Koran. Reached by telephone in Florida, a representative of Mr. Jones seemed unaware of the film, but hours later the pastor sent The Lede a statement by e-mail in which he complained of the attack on the embassy in Cairo and announced plans to screen the trailer for the film on Tuesday night. He said that it reveals in a satirical fashion the life of Muhammad."
I think it would be appropriate for anyone who is so inclined to send Mr. Jones some cartoons or pictures or drawings that are offensive to him in the same way he is offensive to Muslims just so he can learn what it feels like. Maybe he will not be so quick to jump if he knows he will be at the end of the stick next if he pulls something again. He is the one who burned the Korans and he is also the one who lynched a dummy of President Obama in front of his church in Florida. Maybe I am wrong but I know in my own personal life a couple times I had people who were outspokenly mean to me. I just took it and kept my mouth shut. Finally with both people I got the nerve up to say something really mean to them when they were not expecting it. And that put an end to the entire scenario. I don't like doing such things but I know it works.
The only problem I am having is his church email @ www.doveworld.org will not open. Can anyone open this and get his email?

(14,337 posts)which strips the language regarding public funding for religious organizations; religious places of worship, religious schools, religious social services, etc. I suppose they think that ONLY Christian organizations will be looking for state tax money? I saw that the Catholic organizations are asking their members to vote Yes on this.
I suppose Florida hasn't heard what happened in Louisiana with a similar law? Hello? "Them Muslim" organizations, and every other NON-Christian, will be looking for state funding also. Imagine what this imbecile "pastor" is going to do when a Muslim group wants to get tax money to open one of THEIR schools?
