Zionist Organization Of America (ZOA) Denounces Koran Burning!!!

[Christian Zionist]

The Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) has condemned the planned 9/11 Quran burning event organized by Pastor Terry Jones and his Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida.

ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said, “We condemn this proposed Quran burning. The ZOA has not and will not support or condone burning religious scriptures of any faith
 

“This proposed act of Quran-burning is not only offensive and counter-productive, but a diversion from real issues that concern us regarding extremism in the Muslim world.

 
“The ZOA has countless times articulated its genuine and substantive concerns about Islamic radicalism. We must combat jihadists as well as other Muslim extremists who legitimize, rationalize or seek to dishonestly sanitize violent, totalitarian doctrines that involve the murder and subjugation of non-Muslims and moderate Muslims. We oppose tirelessly Islamist terrorism and those Muslims who work for the subjugation of America, Israel and indeed all non-Muslim countries, whether this is attempted by immediate, violent and blatant means, or by gradual, non-violent and covert means.
 

“We should be seeking out, promoting and working with moderate Muslims. It will not be possible to do so if we support or fail to criticize Quran-burning events such as the one proposed in Florida.

 
“It has been argued, including by General David Petraeus, that this proposed Quran-burning will serve as a pretext for Islamist assaults here and overseas. His statement is misconceived. These are not the grounds on which we oppose and condemn this event.
 

“Burning the Quran should be opposed because it is offensive, wrong and counter-productive, not because it can be used to justify Islamist violence. If we take that approach, we will soon find that all efforts to oppose or challenge radical Muslims will be quickly condemned on the same grounds. This will morally and physically disarm us and encroach on our ability as a free society to challenge dangerous enemies.


“Radical Muslims need no pretext to attack us, so it is wrong to suggest that we are specially endangering ourselves by doing something, whether proper or offensive, to challenge them. Tragically, the attacks would come anyway, regardless of what we say and do today.”

This supports my statement from last week about how they did absolutely nothing when I wrote to them about a pressing situation representing a general threat to American Jews.  Their silence was, and is, deafening

A "moderate Muslim"

[Lewinsky Stinks, Dr. Brennan Rocks]

What a joke.

The ZOA knows that if we allow and tolerate Quran burning, the torah will be next.

You don't think that already is going on?

Edit, why do you capitalize Quran but not Torah?

Whoops, sorry, my bad. lowercase the quran and capitalize the Torah!

"The ZOA has not and will not support or condone burning religious scriptures of any faith".

It is a news that khuran is the scripture of any faith.

[TheCoon]

If they were burning the Torah or Christian Bible, the media would say nothing. The media is promoting islamic supremism in America.

[angryChineseKahanist]

The man is not planning on burning torahs.
he's burning qurans.
so fecking what?
let him burn it.

You have a childish notion that Muslims follow the golden rule of do onto others as you would want done to you. You need to wake up and realize Muslims will do whatever they want and whenever they want as long as you keep caving into their demands.

Burning the Torah is considered in leftist circles as a piece of avangadist art. But if someone touches "Mohammeds Kampf" it is seen as hate crime. It seems, that the western world has more respect of Mo's poorly effort, than of God's word.

Double standart reloaded.

Yes yes

[TheCoon]

The leftist media is almost outright promoting islam to people after this. I guess if Americans were mostly muslim they'd be retarded and more easily controlled by the leftist elite.

Your over-intellectualizing the situation. Plus people burn Bibles all the time and Bibles have Torahs in them. So the Torah gets burned all the time anyways.

[FreedomFighter08]

Koran Burning is stupid but is still allowed. It is this man's choice. What I really hate is when ignorant Muslims and Evangelic Christians start burning the work of Charles Darwin. If they do this then we should be able to burn Korans.

That being said I would randomly burn a Koran. It's a waste of energy.

[Rubystars]

This is the kind of thing that gives whorefronters fuel to say that zionists are destroying America. When people like this call themselves "Zionists" who needs Naturei Karta?

[Zelhar]

The ZOA is supposed to be Zionist Jewish organisaiton yet they are siding with the worst of our enemies. Here there is a conservative church on the one side, which I don't know what its position regarding Jews but it can't be any worse than that of the muslims and their dhimi liberals which are on the other side. Who and what does the ZOA try to defend here- Jews ? No, Freedom of speech ? No. Freedom of religion ? No. They defend the privilege of muslims to trump over our freedom whenever it conflicts with their "holy" religion.

[Debbie Shafer]

Once again, hypocricy.  The American flag is burnt too without protest.   Mort should know that Islam is an apostate religion, and all religions offensive to God will be destroyed eventually!   Changes my mind about ZOA. Well One by one the false are being exposed.

When I wrote them about the problem of Arab foreign national who are Jew haters spreading hate on websites while being on j1 and h1 visas (with specific examples), they didnt even give me the courtesy of a response..  This is something that really affects Jewish people and the safety of Jewish peoople in America and they do nothing....no words for these folks

[david1967]

ZOA is probably worried that if they don't condemn the koran burning, then leftist/anti-Israel journalists will say that their silence means approval of it.
