The Nectarines are now ripe. Enjoy!
This very intriguing situation that Mr. Terry Jones has gotten himself into regarding his idea to burn a few copies of the Koran on Saturday is getting a little out of hand. It has not even happened yet and presidents and kings around the world are begging him to stop. It has not even happened yet and there are violent protests because of it. This was on my news site last night:
Elsewhere, tension also grew around the world in response to Jones's plan.
One church in India received a bomb threat. The pastor of that church received a letter threatening to blow up churches in the area if Qur'ans are burned.
He immediately relayed the message to police and the pastor said the church had no plans to observe Jones's so-called International Burn a Qur'an Day, and he says that Christians in India are united in their mission to spread the message of universal brotherhood.
Protests in Pakistan were getting more radical. Hundreds of people marched down the street chanting "Death to America," and then set fire to a U.S. flag. Protesters say if Jones follows through with his plans there will be a reaction against the Christian church across the world and that a new war will begin between Muslims and Christians.
Can someone tell me when the 'old' war of Muslims against Christians ended? What kind of nonsense is this when the Christians in the Christian nations of Canada and the USA are sending the bulk of the aid to flood victims in Pakistan? This is the height of "biting the hand that feeds".

So...now we all know how to get our faces in the news. No one even knew who Jones was until he made these threats. Now, if I was in leadership and wanted to provoke some serious outrage to perhaps distract from any other major news attractions, like building a mosque on the 911 site, I would plant a diversion like this and get the whole world upset. Or if I was a religious fanatic and wanted to build on the hatred of religious extremists I would do exactly this. Do we really know who this Mr. Jones is? Or who planted this idea in his head? OK..so I am a conspiracist. Is that a word?

Could it be that the Christians of Christian nations are overlooking the fanatacism and aiding their human brothers and sisters out of love and compassion. One day it will be us needing aid.
