Meet Pastor Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center, the 50-member church in Gainesville, Florida. Gainesville is where I live. This hate monger has turned our wonderful community into a lightning rod for hate and ignorance. Saying his church has 50 members is a stretch as he's lost some in the past weeks. On top of that, he has 9 kids so his family actually makes up 20% or more of the congregation. There happens to be a home football game of 90K fans this Saturday, 9/11/10. The FBI, Homeland Security are in town, and all local law enforcement are on super high alert. We have been informed by Homeland Security that we will not be reimbursed for the exorbitant costs of all this extra security, so our already overstretched local resources will be put over the limit all in the name of his selfish hatred for Islam. On top of all that, the image of our wonderful community will be forever tarnished.
Since the start of this, I've heard people say, "He should be ignored." However, stories like this are like crack for the media, and sure enough, the story is now international. The media satellite trucks outside this church now outnumber the vehicles of its congregation. It sucks to say Gainesville has fallen victim to fear and loathing.

ReplyDeleteThese guys are always hiding something... I just wonder who's buried in his basement or whose underpants he's been sniffing?
