I've searched my Bible, and I couldn't find where Jesus calls us to burn the holy books from other religions. And I doubt "Burn A Quran Day" is going to cause Muslims across North America to come running to the altar to accept Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. (Never mind the fact that the military is asking him to cancel the community bonfire) I'm not sure about this Dove World Outreach Center "outreach," but I doubt this is what Jesus had in mind.
It's too bad the Muslim extremists and the Christians extremists get all the media attention. I'm sure there are people from both beliefs that are doing good in the world. Feeding the hungry, clothing the naked and comforting the hurting, but they are seldom heard from.
Bono, rightfully, calls us to "tolerance".
