H/t Bark Bark Woof Woof.
A planned Quran burning Saturday in Amarillo was thwarted by a 23-year-old carrying a skateboard and wearing a T-shirt with “I’m in Repent Amarillo No Joke” scrawled by hand on the back.
Jacob Isom, 23, grabbed David Grisham’s Quran when he became distracted while arguing with several residents at Sam Houston Park about the merits of burning the Islamic holy book. “You’re just trying to start Holy Wars,” Isom said of Grisham after he gave the book to a religious leader from the Islamic Center of Amarillo.
"through confrontation and prayer" - how absurd
ReplyDeletegood on the skateboard kid
on the good news front - I heard about a church in Memphis that opened it doors to a Muslim group whose mosque was being renovated - both groups of people are sharing the building
that pastor is a hero to me
A friend saw this on Twitter
of course the media doesn't cover it
Apropos of all this book-burning fervor:
ReplyDeleteI propose a modest solution. For every copy of the Holy Qu'ran that is burned, those who disagree with that sort of behavior should make sure that five copies of the Qu'ran are sold--and READ.
I'll bet almost anything I own that very few of those driveling book-burners have ever read the entire Bible, let alone the Qu'ran. To be sure, most of them can quote from the Prophet--quotations handily provided by those who would sow religious discord among us.
Jacob Isom is a hero to me, as a Muslim I am very grateful to him
