Hey Scott- I can't quite figure out if you're anti-christian - and
therefor pro-islam - and would be against this koran burning.
But for those of you attending - toast some marsh mallows for me!

Mulberry residents welcome anti-Islam demonstration
7:48 PM, Aug 19, 2013
MULBERRY, Florida -- A small group of residents in Mulberry have joined
together to tell the world that the town shares the same opinion as Dr.
Terry Jones, a known anti-Islamic.
"Why would you not come to little Mulberry, that is active and concerned
about islamofacism? We like it that way, and why they come to our town
to stir up interest and educate." said the group's organizer, Suzanne
Carter-Moore.
Carter-Moore's group is called "Why Not in Mulberry?" Its members
created a Facebook Page called "Welcome to Mulberry Dr. Terry Jones."
Dr. Jones has announced he will be burning 2,998 Korans on September 11
at a Mulberry property. The Koran is the Islamic religious book. He said
he will burn one book for each life lost during the 9/11 attacks.
Dr. Jones said he has burned 3,000 Korans every September 11 since 2010.
The residents of Mulberry understand why Dr. Jones has chosen their town
to raise awareness about Islam.
"We did not choose Mulberry, Mulberry chose us," said Dr. Jones. "A
supporter of mine, who lives in Mulberry, knew I needed a new spot to
burn the books this year, because I sold my property in Gainesville
where we had been burning the books the last couple years. He called me
and offered his property for the burning to raise awareness."
"I think people get confused," said Dr. Terry Jones. "We by no means,
and never in any of the protests we have ever done, demonstrated any
type of hate. And we definitely do not hate Muslims. We respect their
right here in America to be here, to practice their religion under the
First Amendment. It's not about Muslims, it is about that violent core
message that Islam has."
The "Why Not in Mulberry" group meets weekly at Toppers Pizza in
Mulberry. On September 7, it will have a rally downtown at Highway 37
and Highway 60, with signs supporting Dr. Terry Jones.
