In Florida there is a pastor named Terry Jones, who is planning on burning Qurans on 9/11. Now the ideal reaction would be to just let it go, and ignore him. However now that he has obtained publicity, the middle east muslim community has gotten word of it. Now the violent crusaders of Islam will not have the same reaction that we as Americans will have. To them it describes the whole American race. Now if the reaction of the violent muslims was to just let it go or be angry, but not to react in anger, I would say we wouldn't need to have a big reaction.
However, according to Islam leaders, these violent muslims will not react with peace, they will react with anger and violence. They will MURDER our soldiers, and KILL Americans.
I do not feel we have the time to wait and see what happens. We must pray that Terry Jones does not go through with this action, and that God soften his heart. We must insert peace into society. We must show the world we our not a nation of aggression, despite our past. We must show the world that we want to create peace in our world. I vote for peace and the idea that we can have hope that world peace is something to try hard to obtain.
I do not want the perceived motives of The United States to be put out from a small outlandish stunt. I am all about freedom of expression, but when that expression directly leads to violence against Americans, I have a big problem.
Our reaction to Terry Jones should be as this: "You are grumpy, may your heart be softened"
I do not vote for violence to Jones, I vote for nonviolence on both times. May we indoctrinate peace into the world by prayer and signs. If we must put peace signs all over the world then we must. I do not know what stops us. Lets us this as an excuse to be peace. Lets use this chance to show that we care about others feelings.
