Reacting to Saturday's planned -- but now, tentatively, canceled -- Quran burning in Florida, leaders at St. Luke's Presbyterian Church in Rolling Hills Estates have decided to hold a "Quran reading."
The event will take place whether or not books are burned in Florida.
"We have been lamenting the hateful actions that have been contemplated in Florida," the Rev. Reinhard Krauss, pastor of the church, told the Daily Breeze. "We saw it as an opportunity to take action, to look at some texts in the Quran and see what they have to say."

Some of these Christians are naive and idealistic. This may offend people and may get flamed, but being a Christian does not make a person a conservative. It is correlated, but not very strongly. Muslims want to kill Christians as much as they want to kill Jews, Sikhs, Buddhists, Hindus, and other Muslims who do not conform. It just like the people who collaborated with the Nazis during World War II.

Unfortunately, the "turn the other cheek" thing is heavily, heavily preached and wangled by left-of-center Presbyterian pastors (like my own). As a result, many of them have led their congregations toward the criminally naive position that there is something worthwhile and of substance in the Quran.
Not for this Christian, there ain't.
