Saturday Is "International Buy A Koran Day"

On September 11th, show support for Muslims across the world and buy a Koran. A pastor by the name of Terry Jones and his buddy Fred Phelps at the Westboro Baptist Church had planned to burn copies of the Koran on the anniversary of 9/11 to protest "radical Islam". If their plan came to fruition, it would have not only given the U.S. the stigma of being "radical Christian", but it would also put thousands of soldiers' lives in danger overseas.

I encourage you to join the online movement toward understanding and brotherhood and against fear and intolerance. There is a Facebook page you can join to show your support. I personally don't know where you can go to buy a Koran, but Amazon.com has a large selection of Korans in both English and Arabic.

Update: Terry Jones has announced that he is canceling the Koran burning event. According to the news conference minutes ago, he claims he has struck a deal to cancel in exchange for the NYC mosque move from it's proximity to Ground Zero. MSNBC and Rueters both quote the Imam in New York City, saying that no deal has been brokered and the mosque building continues as planned.

The nutjobs at the Westboro Baptist Church have now announced that if Terry Jones doesn't burn Korans on Saturday, they will.

What has this country come to?
