The ill-fated move by Pastor Terry Jones to get audiences to applaud him has come with such a gust and attracted folks of all walks of life to voice their concerns on what he called “ burn a Quran day” on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, which by the way had nothing to with Islam and Muslims. But did you get to know what he is all craving for? It is such a crystal clear plan set up by some fascists in the realm of Islamophobia under the poorly crafted and poorly painted banner that has duped those that only rely on information from their gatekeepers. Poor them! Linking 9/11 to Muslims. It is all one ill-concieved public relations stunt.
The Dove World Outreach Centre, a 50-member church in the city of Gainesville, was founded in 1986 by Donald Northup.After he died in 1996, the leadership of the church was taken over by Mr Jones, who had been running a sister church in Cologne, Germany.Under the pastor, it has been transformed "from a local church to an apostolic church with a world vision", according to its website.
Terry Jones' claims that he received a lot of encouragement for his protest, with supporters mailing copies of the Islamic holy text to his Gainesville church is baseless and doesn’t ring a bell in a fool’s head. His anti-Islamic philosophy that he wants to inculcate into American citizens is just a mere plan to get more followers for his church that has only 50 followers. He is sure that this is the best chance his church has had to expand its congregation base for the 23 years it has existed. How can I get the figures right? is the question that must have given Terry sleepless nights and he must have decided to cause fracas at a time when building of a mosque at ground zero is causing such a stir, which is actually a clear infringement of the universally-acclaimed freedom of worship.Using such a dull ill-principled banner to do his marketing is, however, going to hit a dead end as that may only serve to alienate him and his Church.
Whatever any Anti-Muslim says or does, Allah's word prevails in the end. Allah says in chapter 9 verse 32 of the holy Quran: "They want to extinguish God's [guiding] light with their utterances: but God will not allow [this to pass], for He has willed to spread His light in all its fullness, however hateful this may be to all who deny the truth". Burning the Quran, a book held in high regard by a billion-plus people all over the world, is a shameless senseless act which will surely result in a backlash.
