Everyone is all up in arms about the pastor down in Florida that wants to do a public burning of the Koran (or Quran).
It is too bad that this has blown up so much and is still getting so much attention.
Our job, our goal as Christians, is to make disciples and to share Christ. Period. When Jesus was arrested he explained to Pilate that His kingdom was not of this world and that was why His disciples didn't fight. The Bible makes it clear that we don't fight against flesh and blood. In all this, how does burning a book, whether it be a book that a group of people consider holy or not, advance the kingdom that is not of this world?
The command from Jesus was to make disciples. I am afraid that this pastor, while busy proclaiming Jesus, has missed the central message of Jesus. That message is not simply "God's love". It is "God loved the world so much that Christ died for our sins so that anyone who puts their trust in Him (Christ) will not perish, but live forever with God." That is the message of reconciliation. God, through the death of Christ, has dealt with His anger toward us and will forgive us when we come to Him.
As Christ has forgiven us, we ought to forgive one another. Jesus asked God to forgive those killing Him. Perhaps this pastor should hold a public forgiveness service. That I think would more fully show rejection of the radical Muslim jihadists.
