Burning Korans

This is my opinion on the burning of Korans on Sept 11, 2010: It should NOT be done!

I believe the Koran is NOT God's Holy Word, as the Bible is. However, burning it proves nothing. Burning it gives some form of acknowledgement that it is a 'holy' book. I do not acknowledge it as a holy book. The Bible is the only Holy Book. Calling another book "holy" is blasphemy.

What is the point of burning it? Just to anger Muslims? Or to prove that we're 'better'? (We are ALL sinners) Burning Korans is a self-righteous act.

Burning Korans does not bring anyone to Christ; preaching the Gospel does. We must preach the truth in love.

Burning Korans will not only bring greater retaliation on our troops in the Middle East, but also more harm to Christians around the world in predominantly Muslim Countries, where Christians are already persecuted.

Christians are persecuted by Muslims in many nations, such as Indonesia, etc. However, we should not be afraid to speak out against the false teachings of Islam.

There is a way to speak the truth without malice or hatred. The goal is not to harm or even to dis-respect, but to bring people to Christ as their only hope of salvation.
