Before Sam has a chance to tie me and every other Christian to the pastor who put up “The Koran needs to be flushed” on his chuch’s front sign, I thought I would post a statement from a Southern Baptist leader expressing disapproval about the sign.
Of course, the Koran does not support the beliefs of Southern Baptists, but we recognize and respect the rights of Muslims to believe as they choose. Furthermore, Southern Baptists wish to relate to our Muslim neighbors in a respectful manner that allows mutual sharing of our beliefs.
