We all read about Tennessee Lt. Gov. Ron Ramsey's crazy comments about Islam being a cult and not covered by the US Constitution yesterday, but today, we have a 'church' planning a book burning for Sept. 11. Only books to be destroyed are the Quran. The Dove World Outreach Center in Florida.

"According to Religion News Service, the church is planning "International Burn A Quran Day," on the ninth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks this year -- smack during Eid al-Fitr, the Islamic feast days at the conclusion of the Ramadan fast.

The Friendly Atheist blogger Hemant Mehta called up Jones to ask what's behind the burn. Jones tells him this is not about hate but about Christian truth -- and bringing Muslims to convert. Says Jones:



We love the Moslems and hope that they would come to true salvation. What we are attacking is Islam, the religion, and Sharia law, the political system."
