Flushed Qu'rans and the Victory of Propaganda

This guy probably owns at least one object that says, "What would Jesus do?" Is there any possibly reality in which it would be this?

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The pastor of a small Baptist church has refused calls to take down a sign posted in front of his church reading "The Koran needs to be flushed," saying Tuesday he has nothing to apologize for. "My creed is the Bible, which tells me I am supposed to stand up and defend my faith," said the Rev. Creighton Lovelace, pastor of the 55-member Danieltown Baptist Church in Forest City. "I don't hate Muslims, I just hate their false doctrines."

The Herald Sun

The Light of Reason has a nice post on the propaganda spin on the Newsweek story that gave this lunatic the idea for his little sign.

Similar to my post from a couple of days ago, Silber deftly explains how the administration and their thousands of repeaters have implanted the idea that the Newsweek story caused the rioting and deaths in Afghanistan simply because they occurred afterwards. It was this one story that caused all of those deaths, you see, and not our country's actual record on respect for the Muslim faith.

Now that it seems that the riots were actually only marginally related, and Afghan President Karzai has said that they were not the result of the Newsweek story, the administration is flat-out lying about ever having said that.

The absolute kicker comes again from Reverend Lovelace...

When Lovelace was asked whether he considered before he put the sign up that there may be some consequences or that some people may be angered, he said he was aware of the likelihood of angering some people.

"Well, I thought about it and I said there may be people who are offended by it but the way I look at it, Jesus told his followers that if the world hates you, don't feel bad because they hated me first," said Lovelace. "If we stand for what is right and for God's word and for Christianity then the world is going to condemn us and so right away when I got a complaint I said 'well somebody's mad, somebody's offended, so we must be doing something right.'"

That's beautiful. Now if only we would be attacked by terrorists again.. Then we'll really know we're right.

This is simply FUBAR...

Remember after 9/11, people were screaming something like "why are the moderate Muslims? They should be more vocal in opposing the terrorists," etc. etc. etc. Of course, what these people had forgotten was certain details such as "who controls the mass media," so on, so forth...

Let me just do a shout out here: WHERE THE HELL ARE ALL THE MODERATE CHRISTIANS WHO SHOULD RISE UP EVERYWHERE AND YELL "FUCK YOU CRAZY ASS RELIGIOUS RIGHT FUCKERS!!! YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR US AND YOU DON'T SPEAK FOR GOD!!" They probably won't use these exact words, but whatever: where in the freaking hell are you!?!

Gosh, I meant "WHERE are the moderate Muslims?" My typing sure sucks!
