A facebook event has grown like wildfire since its posting less than 24 hours ago. National Buy A Qu'Ran Day!
I am going to make this short, sweet and to the point. The Florida Pastor is batshit crazy and I really hope there is a God and a Hell so he will fry for eternity for his disgusting behavior. However, there is hope. This needs to be spread far and wide of a real symbolic gesture being carried out by thousands of people, not a handful of lunatics who will all hopefully collectively trip and land in their own fire.
A Facebook event, called Buy A Qur'an Day - 9/11 is growing like wildfire and needs to get bigger!
So please, join me in contacting your local media and national medias as well as share this with everyone you know. We will turn the news story this Saturday from a couple freaks committing arson and a disgusting act, to the news story of the day being record numbers of the holy book being purchased, read and shared with the public. If you already own one, donate it or give it as a gift to someone you know, everyone can get another off Amazon if you are busy.
One of the founders, Jenni Siri posted this note in addition to the original post for all to know the purpose:
For me this simple action is a symbol that we understand that the extremist actions of a few never represent an entire faith. It doesn't matter if the extremist is Christian, Jewish, Muslim or any other faith ... if they are spreading hate and intolerance, they are not practicing what their own god teaches them. Love is the core belief in all of these religions, when one spreads hate, they go against their own faith, they go against their own god. I see this 'Buy a Qur'an Day' as a gesture that symbolizes our dream for a world of understanding, tolerance and peace. As Americans, this gives us the opportunity to 'be' what we claim to be, a nation with religious freedom. It's time we walk our talk.
Are you all ready to show the world who we are?
