VIDEO: Florida Pastor Burns Koran and Image of Muhammad

On April 28th 2012 at 5pm Stand Up America Now with Dr. Terry Jones held a ceremony where at the end a Koran and an image of Muhammad was burned in protest to the treatment of Christians in the Middle East and around the world.

Terry Jones Agrees to Postpone or Cancel Koran Burning

According to an official press release from Terry Jones' office, today at 8:45am ET, General John R. Allen, Commander of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and the U.S. Forces Afghanistan (USFOR-A) called Dr Terry Jones.  General Allen expressed his fear of retaliation against the US Military in Afghanistan if Jones was to carry on with plans for April 28th.



Dr Terry Jones responded with his larger concerns for the situation in Islamic countries such as Egypt and Iran where Christians are being killed on a regular basis, houses and churches are burned, girls are kidnapped, raped and forced into Islam.


“I am sure you are as aware as I am of the horrors of the religion,” said Dr Jones, “but Islam is killing people.” He pointed out that the military personnel willingly enlisted, are trained, armed and well funded. People like Pastor Youcef did not volunteer, are not armed, have no budget and no one to fight for them.


“By no means do we take this situation lightly. We are just as Christians, as human beings very desperate for some kind of relief for those people who die on a daily basis at the hands of radical Islam.”


Dr Jones stated that he would be willing to cancel or postpone the April 28th event if concrete steps could be made to bring change to the situation concerning human rights and freedom of religion in Islamic States.

Terry Jones is Calling for a World Wide Burning of Korans and Images of the Prophet Muhammad on Saturday, APRIL 28th, 5pm ET, if Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani has not been released by that time.

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani has been imprisoned and faces execution in Iran simply for his Christian faith. His fate is in the hands of Ayatullah Haajj Sayyid Ali Khamenei and those that can influence the Iranian government to release him so that he can rejoin his family and freely practice his chosen religion. Islamic leaders and Islamic government officials around the world have been contacted and warned. They have an opportunity to use their connections and authority for good.

The world of Islam must submit to Western demands for freedom of religion for Christians and other non-Muslims and freedom of speech concerning the oppressive and violent aspects of the ideology of Islam.

WE DEMAND PASTOR YOUCEF BE FREED!

If this does not happen, join with us on April 28th at 5pm for the burning of Korans and Images of Muhammad.

[note: PPSIMMONS does not endorse the burning of Korans or images of persons associated with Islam.]
