This pastor is just stirring up trouble with the Muslim people. It's bad enough we have people hating on illegal aliens from Mexico now they have to start on the Muslim population as well. This country sems to becoming more divided every day....
The Bible teaches love and tolerance, I don't know how a man of God (supposedly) could actually go through with such a plan. I'm pretty sure God wouldn't like this.
I think he needs his head examined.
Please go back and read some of this thread. Most of us have called the guy an Idiot and Moron but what we are discussing is his right to do what he's doing.

I disagree with his motive but agree that he has the right to speak his narrow minded bigoted mind.

People don't hate the people who come here from Mexico, they dislike people who come here and break ours laws then tell us we are wrong in having those laws.

oh I forgot, you dont' expect that from them and have double standards.
There is no double standard. We do expect Muslim tolerance and respect for people. And we understand that when you show tolerance and respect you often get it back and return. And when you show intolerance and disrespect, which you advocate, that you hardly ever get tolerance and respect in return.

Britain is as guilty as the USA in terms of Iraq.

I would think that this enforces the need to keep incitement to hatred in check.

There are still a mass of people coming here seeking that pursuit, so I guess we are over 350 million.

No one guaranteed anyone happiness, just the ability to pursue that happiness.

The Constitution doesnt guarantee anyone will find happiness.
But we have the legal right to pursue it, which is so much more than many other countries allow!

A round of applause for Pastor Steven Stone who opened his heart, mind, and church to assist the muslims whose mosque is currently being built (next door to the church, no less!)

Cordova Christians put out welcome mat for mosque - USATODAY.com



In fact, this Pastor, a real man of Jesus and God, is even allowing muslims to use the church to hold their religious services.

A round of applause, a round of applause.
The pastor is a gob****e, Rita.

Quite shocking to read the generalised statements about Muslims doing this or Muslims doing that............

Bit like accusing of Roman Catholics of terrorism because Tim McVeigh happens to be Roman Catholic.
There was a man who believed in freedom and how the excesses of state were diminishing so said freedoms.
A poster boy for the hard right over there...i believe.

Are you actually judging a whole group of people on the actions of the radical Muslim fundamentalists?
And by the way, the people that do kill in the" name of Islam" are anything but religious...they only use religion as a way to brainwash people and spread their whole terror ridden agenda. It's all about power, territories and greed. It has nothing to do with Islam, or normal moderate peace loving people that embrace it.
If you asked your average "moderate" muslims if blowing up Israeli cafes was an act of terrorism, what do you think they would say?
