Secretary Gates Called Pastor Jones, Defense Department Confirms

Good. Jones is not a “pastor” – he has a history as a delusional huckster and Islamophobic provocateur.
Jones led a charismatic evangelical church in Cologne up until 2009 when members of the congregation kicked him out because of his radicalism and “suspicions of financial irregularities”.
According to German news source SPIEGEL, Jones and his wife regarded themselves as divinely appointed and any opposition was a crime against the God. They allegedly used these methods to demand money and work from members of the congregation. SPIEGEL also states Jones urged church members to beat their children, taught “a distinctive demonology”, and conducted brainwashing.
Americans supporting this man’s hate-filled ideology are perpetuating a cult of ignorance.

“This has NOTHING to do with this idiots threat to burn books…an idiot old man with 50 cult followers is no news..”
I would tend to agree.
This media story harkens back to Summer of the Shark, sound and fury signifying nothing.
“The Mainstream Media created this event and gave it credence to protect the flailing democrat party”
A new conspiracy theory?
Does the right wing deal with reality on occasion or is everything a nefarious plot?
Its a made for media event, complete with a cartoonish villain!

Obama VS America

Amazing that a “Pastor”, of a 50 member church, could generate this media attention. Imagine the scenario at the WH-who should call? Let’s pick straws! Gates lost. Gates, that is a memory you ,and your children , should cherish for a lifetimd.

Nobody should be burning any books especially ones that are sacred to their believers. This is America where freedom of religion is practiced. No religious symbol, book, or image should be desecrated. Why then doesn’t Obama stand against “modern art” depictions of the Blessed Virgin Mary covered in dung? Obama is clearly feigning outrage over this because he is exploiting the limelight to garnish foreign political expediency.

Or how about a crucifix in a jar of urine… The “progressives” went apoplectic when funding was threatened to the NEA that supported this kind of garbage. They were all in favor of desecration of religious items (as long as it was Christian items). It was all about the 1st Amendment they said. Now that Muslems are offended (when aren’t they), these arguments no longer apply.

“Obama said: Jones’ Plan to Burn Korans Is ‘A Destructive Act’ yet didn’t say the same about building a mosque at Ground Zero. Both are destructive”
No, they’re not…except in the right-wing revised dictionary apparently. In reality burning something is destructive while building something is constructive. Trying to conflate definition and opinion is a sure sign of propaganda.

Even nutcases have rights……As of yet, I have not seen Obama set up a commission that limits the rights of those who use poor judgment…Refuse him a permit to protest then put him in jail if he crosses on public land to do his deed….He’s just looking for his moment in fame…

“Or how about a crucifix in a jar of urine… The “progressives” went apoplectic when funding was threatened to the NEA that supported this kind of garbage.”
20 years later and right wing nuts still hold tightly to their outrages.
Let’s see threatening loss of funding to the NEA because they in part sponsored an art competition that was won by the artist, the same artist who got quite a few death threats (shades of the Danish cartoonist), is the same as asking a right wing nut not to burn books.

This is not the first time any religious books have been burnt. In 2008, fanatic Jews from Or-Yehuda – a city near Tel Aviv – forcibly gathered Bibles form Christians and Messianic Jews and burnt them in a bonfire. But nothing happened. No one from the Christian world protested or condemned this act. I understand that the Muslims do not consider any translations of the Koran or even copies of it printed in Arabic as their Holy Book at all. So what the heck? Let this moron who calls himself a pastor burn these printed material he considers religious books. All this moron wanted was attention – and the stupid media gave it to him. Now this tiny den that calls itself a church with less than 50 morons in its congregation will probably attract 50 more red-neck morons – and this idiot pastor will have a little more contributions in his till. This moron should have been just ignored. After all, morons come in different shapes, sizes, colors – and with funny mustaches too. Remember the guy from Germany during the second world war – the one with the silly toothbrush mustache?

We all work for a world with harmony and brotherhood of the mankind as we all come from Adam.we should respect one another and defeat extremist from any religious background such as pastor Johns as they are enemy to the humanity.
