A few misguided Christians in Florida are planning to burn the Qur’an to protest the abuses of Islam. That’s un-Christian, mean-spirited, and stupid, not least because it may encourage some zealous followers of the “religion of peace” to retaliate against the Christians they so frequently oppress anyway. But if Islam is so peaceful, why are we always self-censoring what we say about it? We sure don’t show much restraint when it comes to Christianity.

Concerning the Dove World Outreach Center, or whatever grandiose title they’ve given themselves, isn’t the dove a sign of peace? As Billy Sunday once said, “Sin can be forgiven, but stupid is forever.”
