UPDATE: Ignorance Runs Rampant in Gainesville, Florida

Mr Terry Jones is at it again…

How did I miss this last month?  He really did it, how can he honestly say he doesn’t feel responsible for the deaths of innocent people.  This man is no better than your average Sadistic Religious Fanatic.  Why isn’t the government doing their job to protect us, the average humans residing on earth, from this man and his hatred of other humans. 

He is surely creaming his pants knowing that he, one deranged little man, can cause such uproar all around the world.  He is a true Warlock of the United States of America!!  Yes, that is right I called him a Warlock, a traitor, not only to the country but to the basic religious foundations of this great country.  Why hasn’t he been sent to Guantanamo Bay like all of the other terrorists?  I ask this because he is doing his part to put our very brave men and woman both civilian and military in harms way by his actions.  Last time I checked the “Dove” was a symbol of peace, he is breaching his fundamental naming structure of his own cult by inciting violence.   

I know they say the squeaky wheel gets the oil, but where is the oil in this case?  Oil him down and let him lean over those flames to throw a book in.  I know violence doesn’t in any way stop violence but there must come a time where “We The People” need to rise up and take a stand against ignorant fools like this.  People like him need to be locked up in a solitary room and then silently executed.  Does it stop the war on terror, maybe not but it sure would make a clear statement that “We The People” won’t tolerate someone who is putting our fellow citizens and other humans around the world in harms way.

Martin Luther King, Jr. said it best in his most famous speech.  I know in those days he was talking about racism in America, but the quote I share with you today fits with the events that are unfolding here in these days and this era of world religious turmoil.

"Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my friends.And so even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream.I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." ~ Martin Luther King, Jr."

Ignorance Runs Rampant in Gainesville, Florida

It was told to me by a few friends back in Gainesville, Fl. that the Dove World Outreach Center pastor was going to burn the Koran on September 11^th.  My initial response was “What an ignorant fool” and then I thought about it and my psychology side started to kick in.  So here we have a man who is trying to do what exactly either get in the news or get some attention.  Mr. Jones could be considered a threat to himself, the citizens of Gainesville and even the nation’s fundamental freedoms.

So, I let the day pass and then I see on my news ticker that this person has made national news and gotten a phone call from the Defense Secretary.  I mean, come on people, this is just another book that was going to be burned.  People burn all kinds of books including the bible (oh yes, I went there) every day and no one ever gets this much attention.  Religion is an odd thing in Gainesville, Fl.  I learned this while I lived, worked and relaxed in the city.  What a surprise the man has backed down and is not going to burn a book.  This just screams of mental instability.  He is a grown man who is old enough not to be acting as if he is in high school.  He diverted the whole nation’s attention with an empty intention.

I will stress that this man, Terry Jones, was only seeking attention.  In the state of Fl. there is something called "Baker Act" and I think he is in desperate need of some good counseling and needs to have someone commit him.  If the President has to get involved then this man needs to become friends with the men and women in white coats.  This man who calls himself a pastor has now proven himself not worthy of leading a flock of humans to the promised land of salvation.  If Martin Luther King, Jr was here today he would be outraged to see that there are still people in this country that are bigots.  Dr. King worked hard to lead our country into a place of peace and interpersonal respect and out of the clouded world where there was hate and irrational fear of people who are not like a person’s set ideals. 

Isn't the fundamental point of being "religious" to be accepting of all and to turn the other cheek?  The Mosque isn't a threat to the country it is ignorant and delusional people like Mr. Jones that are the true threat to this nation and all who call this great country home.  He showed his true Anti-American ways when he threatened to burn the Koran and incite a war in our beautiful country over a personal opinion.  Mr. Jones, I hope you have learned that there are times you really should keep your thoughts to yourself and know when it is time to step down from the “claim” of being a man of God.
