Here they go again.
This time it is the Dove World Outreach Center of Gainesville, Florida who have declared 9/11, the anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, “International Burn a Koran Day.”
Outside of the guaranteed publicity, The Dove World Outreach Center supplies these ten reasons on why burning the Qur’an is a righteous act. The Church also offers “free shelter and food for women who want to escape from Islam.”
Their request for a permit to hold the book-burning has been denied by local fire officials but the church still plans on proceeding. In an email to followers the church proclaimed : “City of Gainesville denies burn permit — BUT WE WILL STILL BURN KORANS,”
There is no word yet if they are affiliated with the Amazing Grace Baptist Church of Canton, North Carolina who held last year’s Halloween Book Burning fiasco.
