Fla. Pastor Accidentally Burns 2,000 Bibles in Protest of 9/11 Attacks

MULBERRY, Fla. — A Florida pastor set fire to more than 2,000 Bibles that he believed to be Qurans before authorities could extinguish the flames and arrest him.

According to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office, Rev. Terry Jones and his associate pastor, Marvin Sapp Jr., set out to burn 2,998 Qurans, one for every victim of the 9/11 attacks. The two men were arrested Wednesday on felony charges as they drove a 1998 Chevrolet pickup truck “towing a large barbecue-style grill filled with Qurans soaked in kerosene.”

Sheriff’s officials said that the trailer caught fire as the truck was being towed. After the fire department extinguished the flames, a closer examination revealed that the books, which were stacked inside highly flammable cardboard boxes, were actually Bibles.

“We don’t condone the burning of any religion’s holy book,” said Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, “but we were absolutely sickened to discover that Pastor Jones reduced a couple thousand Christian Bibles to ashes.”

While Jones was not available for comment, Frann Ingram, a spokeswoman for his Dove World Outreach Center, said that Jones ordered copies of the Muslim holy book wholesale from Amazon. “They were supposed to arrive on the 10th, but they were a day late. We were in a hurry, and we didn’t check inside the boxes.”

“I’ve been praying for God’s forgiveness non-stop since this happened,” said Ingram. “I still feel like the Muslims are partially to blame for this. If we didn’t have to protest them, this wouldn’t have happened. They tricked us!”

While there is no law against burning Bibles or Qurans, Jones and Sapp were charged with unlawful conveyance of fuel and several traffic violations.

Opponents of Jones’s evangelical church hope that his arrest will prevent future anti-Muslim protests. His congregation burned the Quran in March 2011, and last year he promoted an anti-Muslim film. Both incidents sparked violence in the Middle East and Afghanistan.

The remaining Bibles are being held as evidence until the case is resolved, and authorities say that six boxes of Bibles remain completely unscathed. “I think those six boxes are miracles,” said Sheriff Judd. “Proof that He will protect His word to the best of His ability.”

    wow, so they blame the Muslim’s for their stupidity for accidently burning the bible?? No dummy its your damn fault. Stop spreading hate against religion. if you’re a Christian instead of doing crap like this. how about instead of wasting money on amazon to buy books your gonna burn you donate that money to those in poverty and in need of assistance?? this is what is wrong with Christians like this!! I’m glad his dumbass is in jail. And I applaud the amazon person who shipped the bible instead of the Quran. That’s Karma!!

I have been reading all the impassioned commentary and have to wonder why didn’t anyone find out anything about this story, like if it was true?

Please then consult the Websters Dictionary of the English language concerning the definition of Satire.

    This video is a short Response to people twisting sections of the Noble Quran to make it seem like it allows violence outside of a Convention War and outside of the Courts. In reality, the Noble Quran, which is the Final Testament, is a Book of guidance about living life and which teaches about God, Doctrine, Spirituality, Lessons to be learnt from the story’s of previous nations, and guidance on Law re; Marriage, Divorce, Inheritance, the Rights of Orphans, a Penal code and rules of engagement in Conventional War Fare in order to prevent injustice.

    Oh the prize stupidity of religious bigots! Not merely in the attempted act but reflected in the ex-post rationalisation of their enormous cock-up. Consider, the Good Lord might have protected six boxes of Bible – but He did a much better job at protecting 2,908 Qurans!

    I’m not religious but burning any holy book is disgusting, whether you agree with its teachings or not. These men are scum, in my opinion, inciting hated and violence toward an entire faith because of the tragedy of the twin towers, caused by evil men who happened to be Muslim. You can’t judge an entire faith by the actions of a few evil people. We don’t judge all Christians by the example of Hitler, so why is this any different?

    Sheriff Judd, the survival of a few boxes of bibles while over 2,000 burned, are proof that” He will protect His word to the best of His ability”? Too bad that HE is only 30% able. Of course, its more miraculous that the Qurans were all saved and the Bibles burned! Hmmmm. What does your superstitious mind make of THAT?

    “I think those six boxes are miracles,” said Sheriff Judd. “Proof that He will protect His word to the best of His ability.” ……… i guess the quran was protected as not 1 one was burnt.. indeed God Almighty WILL protect his book IF HE CHOOSES TO (not a matter of capability).

    I am a Muslim living in America and I respect everyone’s opinion. Burning or disrespecting any religions holy book is not something that an educated person would do. If anyone who calls them religious would not burn any holy book. As a Muslim, I am not suppose to keep the Quran where my back is towards it or my feet are extended towards Quran. I also try to keep the holy book above on the shelf so that my feet would never be higher than the Quran. By the way, I give the same respect to the Bible whenever I have it in my surrounding like in a hotel room. Humbleness is the key. Thanks

    Truck load of Quran turned into Bible . Is it not the greatest miracle !!! Even they burn all Quran’s in the world , Quran can be reproduced within hours with every single letter from the beginning to end and with every dot in it but bible can not be reproduced . There are millions of Muslims they know by heart each and every word and dots and marks . This is how Allah has told in the Quran He is The Protector of Quran . Quran will remain as it is today until the day of judgement .

    islam is the religion of peace let west and the kufars just try us.inshallah Allah has protect the quran.most of the muslims know by heart it does’nt affect us much u foolish americans,islam will win soon inshallah,

    Pastor Terry Jones burned about 2000 Bibles and they still blame Muslims for this: “I still feel like the Muslims are partially to blame for this.” This makes me laugh. Terry Jones got what he deserved for he will go to hell for burning his Bibles.

    “The remaining Bibles are being held as evidence until the case is resolved, and authorities say that six boxes of Bibles remain completely unscathed. “I think those six boxes are miracles,” said Sheriff Judd. “Proof that He will protect His word to the best of His ability.” But how about the 2000 Bibles burned? I am sure the burned Bibles must have errors in them.

    If we are going to talk about miracle of God then it is a miracle of Allah that the Pastor wanted to burn Qur’aan but in actual fact he ended up burning his own Bibles. Looks like he was drinking too much. Such people are disgrace to any religion.

    Allah swt perseved the burning of the Quran Alhamduillah goes to show the pastor a man of God has no clue . He still blamed the muslims for the buring of the Bible which by the way is just as bad. His hatred consumes his heart even the sign clearly came to him . Ordering Qurans to burn ended up with Bibles. I have no sympathy for him.

    Showing up once every 4 years to vote for President does not get the job done!

    Democrats and Republicans do stand for something, polar opposites on most issues, and those who claim there is no difference are simply liars or just too unreasonable to make a difference in our system.

    Revenge of Allah.. we need not to protest for his decision to burn Koran, Allah will save Qoran.. & further if he burn all the Quran’s of the world, we don’t care, we have Indian Hafiz, British Hafiz, American Hafiz, Italian Hafiz, Arabian Hafiz, Indonesian Hafiz, Russian Hafiz, Chinese Hafiz.. In-sha-Allah we will produce a new piece of Quran within a few Hour..

    You can’t use a sophisticated product if you don’t refer to a user manual prepared by the manufacturer. And when the manufacturer sees that customers are chaotically following the manual and making up stuff which is not supposed to be done, no doubt, there needs to be a newer version that organises this.

    As human beings, we are constantly facing unexpected….things in life, which we cannot manage alone and which are way beyond our limited capabilities. Being a believer or otherwise, we know for sure about God’s existence and about Him being the Creator.
    “Or were they created by nothing, or were they the creators [of themselves]?” (Quran 52:35)

    “He has sent down upon you, [O Muhammad], the Book in truth, confirming what was before it. And He revealed the Torah and the Gospel.” (3:3)

    Then, why avoiding to be exposed to the reality?!

    I am more surprised and feel sorry to know that a religious person is committing such a grudgeful action, while they should be seeking only the best for people.

    “[Say], “Then is it other than Allah I should seek as judge while it is He who has revealed to you the Book explained in detail?” And those to whom We [previously] gave the Scripture know that it is sent down from your Lord in truth, so never be among the doubters.” (6:114)

  69. Tasneem El-Siraaj says:
    October 24, 2014 at 12:42 am

    This is laughable. No holy book should be burned, but this irony just goes to show who has the real power! Islam! “but we were absolutely sickened to discover that Pastor Jones reduced a couple thousand Christian Bibles to ashes.” So are you saying you wouldn’t have been as sad if they were Qur’ans? Now you know how it feels. I would ask Allah to forgive these two men, but they will have to learn the hard way, their way.

    Burning the Holy Bible is an extreme atrocity, just as Burning The Holy Quran is an extreme atrocity. Killing Innocent Humans on 9/11 is as bad of an atrocity, as Killing other innocent Human beings (Muslims or NOT Muslims) any other time ( even if it is the new plans of Destruction in the Middle East ).

    It’s the message in the Quran not the paper it’s written on or the ink that it’s written with. Muslim’s should not get offended by the burning of the Quran. Infact muslims themselves should burn copies of the Quran. Islam is for the intellectual. Muslims and non muslims need to understand no harm can be done to by burning the Quran. It’s the message in it that will out last all of us. So go ahead and feel free burn as many Quran as you like.

    Oh he really showed them. Basically what he did was waste paper. They would print 2000 more Korans to replace the ones he burned anyway. These idiots act like somehow if they burn them, the world will run out of Korans. They can (and will) just print more (after thanking you for all the money you wasted buying and shipping them), numbnuts

    Rev. Terry Jones and associate pastor, Marvin Sapp Jr.take it a lesson, rather a miracle that Amighty God is the only one, who protects His own comandments. You may attempt to burn all the Qurans, but remember it remains protected in the hearts, minds and chests of quite many Muslims, known as Hafiz-e-Quran.

    We as Muslims are commanded by Allah to respect all religions and their religous books. There is not a single incidence, where the Muslims have burned or attempted to burn the Bible, as we consider it a Holy Book of Allah as well.

    Inview of this miracle, consider converting yourself to Islam and seek forgiveness from All Mighty Allah.

    Subhanallah, if this news is true really subhanallah. Allah promise He will protect His words (Quran), and He keep His promise, Subhanallah… All what he need to do just say kun faya kun ( be and it will be). Somehow that Quran never reached them, Allahu Akbar. Anyway, although if they succeeded to burn the Quran, they only can burn some (may be just 1%) the written Quran (The Quran book). They never can burn the people who memorize the Quran and the people know the Quran in their heart. Allah has many way to protect the Quran. Even-though they can burn all Quran in this world and all people who memorized it, they cannot touch the Quran that is in Al-Lauh Al-Mahfuz (Book of Decrees). If they want to burn it they just have to visit Allah, Be His guess. Alhamdulillah as Muslim I am happy they did not burn the Quran, but I feel sorry for the non Muslim. Islam teach us, as human, we should respect each other.

    Burning any holy book is not acceptable. I think these 2 never even bothered to read the Holy Quran at all… If they had read they would have found Allah saying this “Indeed, it is We who sent down the Qur’an and indeed, We will be its guardian (15:9)”. Burning the copies won’t do any harm to anybody but for themselves…Still not late though… I really wish they read and understand the Holy Quran and believe in it before they die…

    This article made my day!!!! I finally figured out what’s wrong with Terry Jones – it’s not that he’s filled with hatred towards his fellow man, the absolute antithesis of Jesus’ teachings. it’s that he can’t read. If he could, he would have recognized the title of the book he set aflame. Better yet, this confirms his illiteracy has prevented him from actually reading the Quran to discover the beauty and truth of God’s message that lies within. Now I get it.

    What we should really do is send him back to grade school along with a dunce cap in case the teacher needs to put it on his head. And please, don’t play with matches or you might get burned.

    Since Pastor and Terry burnt 2000 bibles and are left with 2998 Qurans, perhaps now they can take time and read the Quran with open mind and distribute to their followers so that they can also benefit from it.

    Sheriff Jud’s statement is Ironic, if the fact that “six boxes of bible remain unscratched” was a proof of “god protecting his words to the best of his ability” then I wonder what is the case of 2998 Qurans which remained unscratched.
    I agree, god will protect his words as he has the ability and he won’t protect some books and allow others to be destroyed.

    Quran says that if you kill one person, it is like you killed the whole humanity.
    A person who kills a human will end in hell. So the so claimed Muslim who did caused the tragedy of 9/11 has nothing to do with Islam. Islam is against violence. Even in war, a Muslim is forbidden from cutting a tree or harming a person who is not fighting. These people claim to be Muslims to tarnish the name of Islam, simply because they haven’t their own beliefs that do not belong to Islam.

    Greg Gorelick . Your comment aren’t clear. But if you claim Islam is bad because of what we see in the Middle east in recent years, then you should know that oppressive leaders and dictators such as Bashar al asad, Saddam Hussain, Mubarak and other then them; were not ruling according to Islam. They were and are Secularists and part of Ba’athi Arab Nationalist ideology which is based upon forms of Communism. In fact, during the df ays that colonialism was supposed to be ending, many Muslim and other lands in the Middle & Far East, South & East Asia and Africa were carved up by the Colonialists before they left in order to weaken them. In addition to weakening them they placed such Secularists Puppets in power so that they could still be in control at arms length, even if those Puppets were oppressive to their own people. So, don’t blame Islam for any problems you see in that region! 2. You implied Islam hasn’t worked out in Britian? Well your wrong there too. Muslims In Britian have been fully integrated there for many years in every aspect of society, despite many still retaining different levels of the Islam. Thats a testament to the good side of Britian and its people. Muslims are in the Political sectors, Business, Medical, Education and Popular culture sector too. In fact there was even a partnership between Christians and Muslims in one area to fundraise to re build a failing Church building to become a Church at one side and a Community Centre for every one at the other. Perhaps you’ve only focused on the minority amount of astray radical, politically extreme youths that the tabloid media has polarized over the past 15 years. Don’t let the media propaganda machine fool you.
