On Sept. 11, 2010, members of the Dove World Outreach Center -- a non-denominational Christian church of dubious credibility in Gainesville, Florida -- plan to burn copies of the Koran in a public ceremony billed as a memorial for the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

"Uh, what?" you may be asking. How about we let Dove World pastor Wayne Sapp explain it:

"Why would we burn the Koran?" he says in a video the church posted to YouTube last week. "The Koran, the holy book of Islam? Because we're Christian."

Prior to the whole book burning scheme, Dove World Outreach Center was best known for using the slogan "Islam Is Of The Devil," which it has plastered across its website and in large signs outside the church's headquarters. Sapp says in the video that Islam's devilishness is why the Koran must burn.

"Being Christian does not mean you go to church. Being Christian does not mean you believe in God. Being Christian means you are Christ-like, or at least attempting to go in that direction," he says. "And Jesus, the Christ, he was sent -- he appeared -- to destroy the works of the Devil. So that's what we're gonna do."

Sapp then proceeds to put his money where his mouth is and sparks up a copy of the Koran, spraying lighter fluid on it as it catches fire.

1. On an international level

am sure this will go over well :sarcasm:

[hobbit709]

2. If someone lit up a bible in front of him, he'd probably die of apoplexy.

which may not be a bad thing.

[dmallind]

3. what makes it a "church" not a church?

People who do bad things are not even worthy of the word church now as well as not being "true Christians"?

[rurallib]

6. maybe when they have to pay taxes for meddling where they shouldn't?

Why should my tax dollars support shit like this?

[rurallib]

7. delete wrong spot

[dmallind]

10. I agree they should not - but that's not the question

Is ita 'church' when you disagree wioth what any denomination or congregation does?

[rurallib]

13. not sure I understand the question.

My position keeps evolving. I am pretty much to the point that if a Baptist church in RI violates the separation of church and state, all Baptist Churches pay taxes.

4. nothing says righteousness like a pissing contest

"my religion is holy and yours is evil!!!!"

[KansDem]

14. I've thought about having a bumper sticker made...

My God
can beat up
your God!

This event might just be the push I need to do it...

5. Guess he doesn't recognize that HE...

is the "work of the Devil".

[rurallib]

8. He looked and sounded drunk to me. Anyone else?

[old mark]

9. Poor Florida - seems like you have so much of this kind of sick shit

going on down there...

I am sure this asshole will have many supporters as the time draws closer, which is really sad...

"Blessed are the peacemakers".

12. Reinventing the wheel.

The Nazis already perfected the tactic.

16. So if Jesus were here he'd burn the Koran?

17. Thank you for helping the war effort. That is the effort AGAINST UofS.

I just want to point out one of the political reasons of the terrorists that flew the planes on 9-11 was to prove the UofS. is engaged in a war against Islam.

Nice going there Dove World Outreach Center! You have proved their point. You have legitimized military action. You have the deaths of our armed forced and the forces of coalition troops on your hands.

It's not the religion that makes them do those things. Its politics. They are just like Pat Robertson only with a different holy book and a different tailor.

Both want to use massive military might, not for their religion, but to achieve their political goals.
