Terry Jones a Bad Apple in the Christian Faith Who Brought Hate to Mulberry – http://www.theledger.com/article/20130924/EDIT02/130929619

Well, it’s all over in Mulberry — or is it?

The Christian Quran book burner went to jail and the World Muslim Congress that has held it Unity Day event for the past nine years has returned to Dallas. The book burner came to Mulberry in hate and the Muslims came to Mulberry in peace to counter the hate.

The book burner is going to find out he can’t break the law in Mulberry and get off without a stiff penalty. The World Muslim Congress from Dallas are gone but not forgotten, and they are welcome to return. They came in peace with a record of doing the Unity Day Celebration for the past eight years.

The group included local residents of differing faiths, and they showed respect and to love our neighbors with understanding to achieve worldwide balance. This reasoning is part of my Christian faith. I wish I had been there and I wish the Muslin Unity Day Celebration would have had more support from the churches.

We are not going to have world peace until we can come together without regard to race or religious beliefs. Being divisive and not willing to understand the other side is not the Christian way. It does not mean Christianity has to accept the Muslim or any other way. It means love your neighbor and do unto others as … you know the rest and what is right.

The Muslims summed it up best when they prayed for the fallen heroes who died on 9/11 from a “few bad apples in the Muslim faith.” I can understand that logic by adding we have a “lot of bad apples in the Christian faith,” and one of them brought hate to Mulberry.
