The man who caused an uproar by burning the Koran has been discovered preaching extensively from other Muslim scriptures. The shocker? He’s been doing it for years and no one noticed.

Terry Jones and his wife run the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida. They are best known for indirectly causing the deaths of UN Workers in Afghanistan. What has NOT been reported is, despite his words and actions against the Islamic prophet Muhammad and his writings, he’s had a longstanding reverence for Islam’s lesser-known prophets and their doctrines.

Legitimate Christian groups Jones was formerly associated with have released him from leadership duties, rejecting his preachings, and claim he “didn’t project the biblical values and Christianity”. One organization even had to close it’s doors and reopen under all new leadership. Jones was fined for falsely using the title “Doctor” – his only degree is an honorary theology degree, and the unaccredited bestowing institution is disassociating themselves from him. But no one will discuss the elephant in the room — his promotion of a violent, dark-ages theology and calling it Christian. Although the Islamic practice of Taqiyya (lying) is strictly for hiding one’s faith during religious persecution, unresolved accusations against him for embezzlement, fraud, unpaid labor, and tax evasion may hint otherwise.

Who was that comedian, Woody Allen? George Carlin? Who went through the whole spiel about one person comparing their religion to another person’s religion.

He listed everything off, yep protestant, yep newly reformed evangelical dog loving protestant, religious days are on Saturday, must not eat meat between 3 and 4pm on Wednesdays, and finally at the end of it all, where 99.9% of everything was the same, the one church was on the north side of the street and the other was on the south side. So the one guy pushes the other down and calls him a heathen.

If there is a god, he just wants you to treat yourself and others with kindness and respect, Terry Jones, amongst many others, does no such thing. That he is oblivious to his actions speaks volumes about his character and his take on his own religion.

Question I have is, is everyone just reading the blurb I posted, reading the linked article, or reading it -AND- the support links embeded in it? Your perspective changes depending on that.
