College Football, Quran-Burning Will Heat Up Gainesville on Saturday


Which will be the hotter ticket in Gainesville Saturday -- the USF-UF game or the scheduled burning of the Quran?

G'ville Pastor Terry Jones is giving the Gators a run for their money with his fiery 9/11 commemoration at Dove World Outreach Center. Even President Barack Obama is opining on this one. If online traffic is any indication, news reporters will be turning out in droves for the Quran bonfire, which is scheduled between 6-9 p.m.

Sports scribes, meantime, will be over at the Swamp to see if No. 8 Florida can put on a more impressive show than it did last week. USF's Bulls (1-0) figure to be a tougher opponent than Miami (Ohio). Kickoff is at 12:20 p.m. (ESPN).

In other Saturday action:
  • No. 12 University of Miami travels to No. 2 Ohio State (3:40 p.m., ESPN).
  • No. 17 Florida State treks to Oklahoma (3:30, ABC/ESPN2).
  • UCF hosts North Carolina State (7:30 p.m., CBSC).

Christian Fundamentalists like Jones living here present a greater danger to the freedoms enjoyed by Americans than foreign religious extremists, and Jones and his ilk are generally too stupid to recognize that they have a great deal more in common with Muslim extremists than they do with typical, sane Americans.

It is not proper to condemn a religion based on empty hatred without knowing anything about the very religion, that is what I want to confirm here, terry jones has no basis for his thoughts cuz he does not have any knowledge about Islam. another point is that Terry jones is making a big mistake by trying to burn copies of Quran as a proper way to condemn Islam. real comdemnation of any religion must be through criticizing its texts, priciples and books not by burning its holy things cuz that will inevitably ignite more hostilities between the two religions because Muslims by this type of silly actions will just feel that Terry jones only wants to make them angry. if he really knows that islam is wrong, he will straight away state his proofs in the way that will convain all people including muslims that islam is wrong, he failed to present any fact to condemn islam, that is why he resorted to trying to burn Quran. He also wrote a book "Islam is of devil"condemning islam, all this is based upon knowing nothing about islam. jimmy swaggart did exactly the same without knowing anything about islam. now how will u feel if someone comes over to criticize u upon knowing nothing about u? i am sure that u will not only know that he is very stupid but he will also provoke u. this is what is happening between muslims and christians. if scholars of christianity talk about islam without proper knowledge of it what do u expect from ordinary christians to do to muslims? very recently, the Dutch people depicted prophet muhammad (may peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) in cartoons as a terrorist without giving reasons, this is the way of all christians to criticize islam; mockry and no proofs, the reason why they do that is that they have no proofs or bases for criticizing islam. after all these biased actions to muslims, thier prophet and their holy book, what do u expect from them, ofcource they will find quick and direct stop to these annoying behaviours from their unreasonable enemies that annoy them for no reason which result in what u called fundamentalists. those u call fundamentalists did not start bumping themselves for nothing but they do that because the western actions and sayings against muslims are only annoying and without reasons or proofs. muslims also condemn christianity and totally go against it but through reasons and proofs that is why u will never find a single Islamic scholar burning Bibble or making fun of the great prophet jesus christ, all they do is giving reasons why Bibble is not the word of God therefore christianity is not a valid religion.
