Book Burning

The BBC today reports that the Dove World Outreach Centre is planning on burning the Koran. With a name like that you might have thought there leader Pastor Terry Jones would recognise the hypocrisy of what he wants to do and this would certainly make him a candidate for hypocrite of the year. Pastor Terry Jones said on Wednesday that his plan to burn the Islamic holy book is intended to draw attention to his belief that "something's wrong." Book burning is a sign that you cannot argue against the ideas contained within that book and that is further confirmed by the quote “something is wrong” So what is it that is wrong Pastor Terry Jones or are you simply seeking attention by burning a book? Sadly this just another piece of evidence that the United states version of christianity is more about attention seeking showmanship and money than the teachings of jesus. Ultimatley book burning is an admission of defeat and should always been seen that way.
