What is known about the background of Terry Jones — who burned a Koran in Florida recently and, as a result, a bunch of people died?
One member of the church says things changed slowly over time after Sylvia and Terry came to lead the church in 2001 … That same member thinks the burning was done as a publicity stunt…

Unpaidwork
“Correct me if im wrong, but isn’t doing unpaid volunteer work for one’s church synonymous with doing good for the community (i.e. helping care for a place of worship for fellow believers )?

A.Shane Butcher :
“That is correct, however, the only people that benefited were the pastors. The thrift store did have free lunches, which was made from food acquired from the local food bank, and you could get free clothes and cheap household items that were donated… I don’t have real problem with any of that. But there was the Ebay furniture business where me and many people work unpaid 60+ hrs a week with a goal of making $15,000+ a week minimum that was about 90% profit other than some of that money going towards the church mortgage.
The rest went to the pastors for their condo in Treasure Island FL, their expensive house in Slydell Mississippi, and flying first class where ever they went, which included dozens of trips between FL and Germany.

Can anyone out there cite current 2011 instances where Christians or Jews are killing or harming persons of another religious belief? It’s fairly easy to find instances of other religions killing or harming Christians and Jews.
So when Islam religious leaders say that their holy book is MORE holy than the Bible does that somehow justify killing people? Nope. written by DrCameronJackson@gmail.com
