US church to go ahead with Sept. 11 Quran burning

I read this article and my mouth dropped.

Apparently "International Burn a Koran Day" is September 11th.

While this man is disgusting, I can't say I'm surprised given its coming from Florida. People there are ridiculously racist and, even when presented with the cold hard fact that Islam has the same Judaic roots as Christianity, they will still proudly call it the bastard religion of the terrorists. What's even more sickening about this guy is his role as a community leader, he's teaching his congregation, who surely bring their kids to church too, that such hatred is not just okay, but being actively offensive is the right thing to do. So very, very disgusting.

Huh. I'm not American, but I thought Florida was a little more accepting... Though I suppose because they're close to the border, they're not as accepting, of races or religions.

Flordia is filled with your stereotypical racist rednecks.

I think I'd have to agree with that. I don't know how true, but some/most people in Florida or Texas are not more accepting.

Anyway, I am kinda anticipating what's going to happen next. Coz if the burning did happen, they're so gonna spark more hate from the rest of the world...

Yeah, the escalation would be frightening.
