Quran Burning; Is it the Christian Thing to do?

The burning of Qur'ans is totally against what Jesus taught.  A church has no business engaging in it.  Jesus said we are to love our enemies.  What would Jesus do?:  speak the truth in love and show that love to Muslims even if they are aggressive and unreceptive.  "While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." 

 

"Herein is love, not that we loved God but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.  Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another." 1st John 4:10-11 

 

Also, remember the parable of the servant who was forgiven by his master of a very great debt but then went out and had a fellow servant put in jail for a small infraction. When the master heard about the incident, he was furious because he had forgiven much.

 

Our job as Christians is to love, forgive and pray for Muslims.  It is our government's responsibility to uphold the laws that our Constitutionis based on.

Quran Burning

Under the New Covenant, is it God's will for His enemies on earth to be destroyed? For example, should mosques be burned to the ground and all the servants of Allah be slaughtered as were the priests of Baal by Elijah? Or is that too extreme? Can the burning of the Qurans be analogous to the statue of Dagon being fallen on it's face with its head broken off in front of the Ark of the Covenant or Jesus turning over the money tables in the temple?

One thing is for sure, as Christians we should not be afraid or ashamed to state that Allah is false and Christ alone is the Son of God. However, we can do this without burning copies of the Quran. Jesus' last commandment to His disciples was to go and make more disciples. This would suggest that even Muslims should be included in this outreach. Would Jesus have participated in this event or would He have spent that time preaching His resurrection to the Islamic community instead?

General Petraeus is accurate in his prediction that Muslim radicals will use the demonstration as fuel for their fire. Most likely the troops overseas will see an increase in fighting and the terrorists will have even more reason to attack the "infidels." Instead of this being an "act of love," it will be viewed as a hate crime. To not burn the Quran doesn't mean that Christians are being tolerant, sometimes it's just a matter of being smart.
