EDGE: An anti-gay pastor in Gainesville, Florida has come up with a plan to stand firm for righteousness: he’s calling on his followers to burn copies of the Qu’ran, the holy book of the Muslim faith.
Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World outreach Center has called for the burning of the Qu’ran--spelled with a common variant spelling, Koran, in the title of the church’s event, the "International Burn A Koran Day," which is scheduled to take place on September 11.
Text at the church’s website describes the Dove World Outreach Center as "a New Testament Church" that is "based on the Bible, the Word of God." The text indicates that the church subscribes to the notion that the end of the world is approaching: "We believe that God is calling a new generation in this end time--a generation of believers that is yielded to his Word and his will.
"Our Land needs strong churches that understand and fulfill God’s vision of restoration and reformation," the site’s text continues, "churches that are able to handle the revival we will see this century with the apostolic anointing, and bring Godly changes to our entire society." >>>
