The Roanoke Slant

Roanoke Times, 9-8-10, Pg 1 & 16: Pastor of Pentecostal Church in Florida is resisting pleas to cancel the burning of Qurans on 9-11
-
Many people of good will are pleading with Rev. Jones to not burn any Qurans.
Apparently the mass media hype and notoriety have overcome the judgment of what should be a reasonable and prudent Christian person.
-
It’s interesting that the past burning of Bibles has not caused a front page media stir no less an avalanche of public notice and notoriety including statements by the Commander of our troops and the Sec. of State. Why is that? After all, these people have already declared war (Jihad) against us and are killing our people as best they can.
Even our politically correct (PC) history books are afraid to tell students that the Saracens that were confronted by Charlemagne were Muslims.

Some bible burning examples we never heard about:
Several high school students in Eritrea were locked up earlier this month ( Aug 2008 ) in metal shipping containers as punishment for protesting the burning of hundreds of Bibles.The students had objected when military authorities at Sawa Defense Training Center near Eritrea’s border with Sudan began burning more than 1,500 Bibles that were confiscated from new students enrolled in the upcoming academic year on Aug. 5, a source told the persecution watchdog agency Compass Direct News.

Messianic Jews in Israel say they want an inquiry into the burning of hundreds of copies of the New Testament by Orthodox Jews in Or Yehuda last week ( May 2008 ).
The books were given to the town's Ethiopian Jews by the Messianic Jews, who believe in Jesus as a saviour.

Based on the articles and editorials in The Roanoke Times it appears that burning bibles and marginalizing Christian icons does not disturb the sensibilities of the Editors and their liberal-progressive media associates.
Apparently placating our Virtual-Muslim President and appeasing the Muslims he is bowing to is far more important that having a fair and balanced view and coverage of Christian religious transgressions. In fact the Editors publicly mock the concept of “Christ in Christmas” at every opportunity including their recent 9-3-10 editorial.
