Re: Burning the Koran
OK. I disagree with the Mosque, for the reasons I've stated before which includes the heightened animosity towards Muslims.
I opposed the book burning for similar reasons
However I DO think we Christians need to do more. I am all for teaching on and against Islam in our churches but doing it in love. Yes you can teach about Islam in Love. You can teach on Historical, Political and Religious Islam in negative terms and still do it in Love.
Christians that learn of this stuff should not be politicized, rather we should be motivated to pray more, love them more and reach out more.
However, on the other hand, there was little outrage that Christians were not allowed to pass out tracts to Muslims outside of Muslim events. If that is considered inflammatory, then I refuse to bow to fear. This is not SA or Israel, where passing out tracts is illegal. We can reach them in Love. You don't burn their book. You don't argue with them and shout and get angry. IF they have a problem with you reaching them in Love or getting mad that we teach on Islam in our churches, I don't think we should bow to fear as they have in other nations that are not ruled by Islam
