So...I was watching the news a few days ago, and I came across this story about the Florida pastor who was planning to burn Korans on September 11th. Here's an article about it.

You know....I'm not going to say a whole lot about this article, but I will say that I found it disturbing. I, myself, am a Christian. I do not understand how burning Korans benefits the Kingdom of God. In my opinion, our focus should be on winning souls for Christ. The things that we do should be done with the love of Christ. I'm not saying that we should endorse other beliefs. I am just trying to figure how we would benefit from burning something that has absolutely nothing to do with our cause. We need to be praying. We need to be studying...and we need to be ministering. Then, and only then, will our message truly be clear.
As for other beliefs, there will come a day when the truth will be what is it. It is written clear as day in The Bible "Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." (2 Philippians 2:9-11 NLV)
On that day, no other god will stand before Christ! Until then, we need to be focused on HIM not burning Korans.
