And this Accomplishes What?

On the ninth anniversary of the September 11th bombings of New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania a church in Florida will be burning Korans for International Burn a Koran Day. A day being propagated by the Book and Website "Islam is of the Devil" and even louder by the Dove World Outreach Center (why does every small town have an world harvest or outreach center? You have 50 members! You are one fight away from having no church. I digress).

Apparently this won't be a local phenomenon in Florida but a "worldwide event". By worldwide I imagine a handful of hardcore fundamentalist churches in the U.S., a smattering of congregations throughout Europe, and maybe a church or two in Australia. The point is this Saturday Korans will be burned in the name of Jesus.

A few questions for anyone who thinks this is a worthwhile exercise of Christian faith...

1. In what way will this bring Muslims any closer to becoming Christians?
2. How does this motivate the Muslims in New York and elsewhere from building their mosques?
3. Is this more about publicity then about doing "what the Lord hath called us to do"?
4. In the Book of Acts; did the disciples burn the sorcerer's books or did the magicians do it themselves?
5. Is this absolutely necessary?

Answers? All I hear is crickets...
