Terry Jones: Florida pastor endorses anti-Muslim film that sparked protests

[Baitball Blogger]

Florida pastor Terry Jones said he supports and is promoting a film criticizing Islam that has sparked worldwide outrage from Muslims, including violent protests in Libya where a U.S. ambassador was killed in a firebomb attack on the embassy Tuesday.

The Gainesville-area pastor, known for his virulent opposition to Islam, issued a statement on his website defending the film "Innocence of Muslims," directed by Sam Bacile of California, who describes himself as an Israeli Jew. The film was produced in the United States.

Protesters in Libya and Egypt exploded in anger at the amateur film's release and launched assaults against the U.S. embassy in Benghazi, killing Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned the attacks but said in a statement that "inflammatory material posted on the Internet" is not a justification for "violent acts of this kind."

2. Oh, he's just mad because no one has put out a Fatwah on him.

He burns Qurans, he cheers for insensitive cartoons, he endorses tasteless films, and even with all that, not one mullah, not a single ulema member, not one Islamic leader, will step up to the plate and slap a fatwah on that nitwit.

I think there's some verse in the Quran that says take pity on the feeble minded, or something. Ah, yes, here it is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_ethics#Neuroethics

"Do not give your property which God assigned you to manage to the insane: but feed and cloth the insane with this property and tell splendid words to him."[68]

This Quranic verse summarized Islam's attitudes towards the mentally ill, who were considered unfit to manage property but must be treated humanely and be kept under care by a guardian, according to Islamic law.[64] This positive neuroethical understanding of mental health consequently led to the establishment of the first psychiatric hospitals in the medieval Islamic world from the 8th century,[69] and an early scientific understanding of neuroscience and psychology by medieval Muslim physicians and psychologists, who discovered that mental disorders are caused by dysfunctions in the brain.[70]
