A Very Important Clarification: The Qur'an Protest Sign In Indonesia Says "CHURCH COMMUNITY" Beneath
Edited on Fri Sep-10-10 07:51 AM by Turborama
My wife just translated it.

This means it was made by the Christian community in Indonesia...


Also, the pictures underneath it are of a Hindu temple, a Bhuddist temple, some Balinese Hindu
priests with what looks like leaders from different religions. The different hands on the Qur'an
are symbolic, too.


This powerful image was originally posted on this Al Jazeera English Blog with no description beneath it: http://blogs.aljazeera.net/americas/2010/09/08/quran-also-burns-fahrenheit-451">The Quran also burns at Fahrenheit 451

BTW, there are multiple faiths spread across Indonesia's archipelago ...

1. Thanks for that info, Turborama
Especially after the implication was made earlier that such an expensive, full-color banner probably was funded by terrorists!

Now we know it's even worse! It's some Christian extremist group promoting *gasp* religious tolerance!

Thank your wife, too, for her help in pointing out the truth. :thumbsup:

9. I agree that it is important
There is a lot of misinformation being spread, and you've been doing a great job calling attention to actual, factual, accurate information on this and other issues.

:hi: :yourock:

10. Thank you again
Your support and the knowledge that someone's actually noticed really means a lot and is greatly appreciated.

I had a long discussion with my Muslim brother in law earlier about the current events and over the next week we're going to work on an OP together which hopefully some DUers will find really informative.

If you like, I can let you know by PM when it's been posted...

Best wishes to you and yours,

T
