Fla. Church Denied Permit to Burn Qurans
Fla. Church Denied Permit to Burn Qurans
Gainesville city officials have denied a burn permit for a church that plans to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11.
Interim Fire Chief Gene Prince said Wednesday that an open burning of books is not allowed under the city’s burning ordinance.
The Dove World Outreach Center drew international attention after announcing its plan to burn copies of the Islamic holy text on church grounds to mark the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.
Prince says the church will be fined if it holds the burning.
In an e-mail sent out Wednesday, the church said, “City of Gainesville denies burn permit – BUT WE WILL STILL BURN KORANS.”
The Gainesville church made headlines last year after distributing T-shirts that said “Islam is of the Devil.”

I’d support this — if Bibles were burned alongside in this semi-awesome ritual.

I hope Islam, as well as other cults
disappear. I don’t think burning a pile
of books is a good idea though. Why
make more friction then is needed?
It’s openly provoking Islamists to
punish anyone who burns a pile of
Qurans. It’s taunting from people
who may not be able to defend them-
selves against Islamist operatives.
Let the spies and soldiers do the
work to provoke Islamist reprisal.
They are trained to handle conflict.
These book burning Christians have
forfeited their status as Children
of Abraham., in terms of supposed
belief in God’s justice.

This is just retarded. It won’t solve anything.

To burn a Quran, you have to BUY a Quran.. Seems like a ridiculous waste of money.. I’m just gonna download it and then delete the file; much cheaper :D

Where is the outcry from the enviromentalists?? Do you have any idea what kind of toxic chemicals you release into “god’s” atmosphere when you burn those books? Isn’t “he” going to get mad at you for trying to smoke “him” out by burning trash??? (Sorry, couldn’t resist.)
