Instead of standing up for Christianity, a Utah Church is handing out free Korans in disgraceful display for Easter Sunday. Unfortunately there is a clear pattern of so called “Christians” across the world bowing to Islam. Have they ever wondered why the Islamic community has been persecuting Christians for centuries? Appeasement is weakness, which is something Muslims will exploit over and over !
Utah church offers free Korans in Easter gesture
(Reuters) – A Utah church is giving away free copies of the Koran in an Easter season ecumenical riposte to the recent burning of the Islamic holy book by a controversial Florida pastor.
The Wasatch Presbyterian Church has ordered 50 copies of the Koran to be distributed at a local bookstore starting on Monday.
“We’re not promoting Islam, we’re not saying the Koran is the Bible,” said Scott Dalgarno, the church’s pastor. “We’re just saying that if people are curious, if they want their consciences informed on this issue … then let them pick up a copy on us and read it and decide for themselves what to think.”
You sure are promoting Islam, because you do not have it in you to condemn a religion/ideology that is hellbent on destroying yours.
Dalgarno says each Koran, which the world’s nearly 1.6 billion Muslims believe is God’s final testament, will have a bookmark insert that reads: “This book was donated by the leaders of Wasatch Presbyterian Church who are not afraid of truth wherever it can be found.”
He said the giveaway was a response to Terry Jones, the leader of a fringe, fundamentalist church in Gainesville, Florida.
The response should have been for the Church to stand up for freedom of expression!
In a move that prompted riots in Afghanistan, Jones’ tiny church in northern Florida burned a Koran last month following a mock “trial” of the text.
“When we found out that Terry Jones had actually carried through on this and 20-plus people had died as a result we thought we can’t stay silent here,” said Dalgarno.
I see, you can express yourself, but Pastor Jones cannot because he “offended” Muslims. Bow to Islam, and feel that boot heel on your neck. Because that is what you are others like you are inviting …..
The contact information for the “Church” can be found HERE. Please shower them with some “Logan love”.
Inside, I’m screaming. Does PC have no limits? Is common sense dead?
common sense should not be called common. it is so rare these days it should be considered a super power
apparently Scott Dalgarno hasn’t read the hateful book or knows any
of history of islam!Poor pastor!And he’s leading the flock?
Sorry I had to be away for a little while…Looks like I’m back just in time..The Holy Bible is full of warnings to Christians about following false teachers, the members of Wasatch Presbyterian Church need to take these warnings very seriously. I will send “Pastor” Dalgarno a letter from one Pastor to another and post it here when I complete it. I wonder if he is going to include instructions on the way the qur’an must be handled to keep from insulting muslims and causing trouble. Happy Easter everyone!
All I can say they are a bunch of morons. Then they wonder why God isn’t blessing us as a nation anymore. They need to get into their Bibles again. But personally I believe we are under God Judgement. Nothing like inviting the enemy into our country and run it and destroy it at the same time. By the time we wake up it will be to late if it isn’t already.
We’ve been reading about this happening quite often lately….has anybody read about and imam, mosque or Islamic center giving away bibles?
No?
Didn’t think so…..
The Pastor is right the Qur’an is evil and all of them should be burned, Islam will never and never did assimilate to other religions, look what’s happening in the UK and France, it will happen also in the USA if something is not done, Pastor Jones is giving a warning, take it seriously, we’r being invaded by Islams and our people are blind.
Right on Daniel. As for ‘linking’ 20 deaths to burning of the Koran… its just an excuse, they would have killed those 20 anyway for some ohter reason… Pastor Terry Jones is condemed for burning the Koran… but Muslims burn our flag all the time… That offends me, as does some nutjob burning my flag in my own country… WAKE UP AMERICA
Here’s the Message of islam, according to it’s founder:
“I will save humanity by robbing, enslaving, raping & killing everyone who disagrees with me – and you can too!”
-Muhammad-
Leftists are smug, secret racists, who only feel ‘guilty’ because they already assume that only white, Western folks are intelligent enough to be blamed for being truly Evil… so they indulge their pet “people of colour” and ignore their 1,400 year history of ‘holy’ mafia nazi slavery robberies rapes & murders as one would indulge the new puppy as it pees on the rugs!
SO they also then immediately say to themselves: “Hey – if I get behind & out in front of islam (which is obviously the biggest threat) then that threat will be immediately over for ME; the rest of you’ll get yours for not Submitting to the inevitable, so screw you!”
This same “logic” (cowardly treason) is what influences feminists (also usually white Westerers) to support burqa-wearing & FGM and liberal pastors to support the Palestinians by ignoring their ‘holy’
baby-killings while blaming white Jews for having ‘started it’ just by existing!
Islam perversely inverts the Ten Commandments! It claims:
1). THOU SHALT LIE!
This includes the Doctrine of “Abrogation” (i.e: Never Mind What I Said Before, Here’s What I’m Saying Now, Capisce?”)! And of course “holy” lying (Taqiyya and kitma…n)!
2). THOU SHALT STEAL!
3). THOU SHALT ENSLAVE!
4). THOU SHALT RAPE!
a)… and beat your women!
b)… and ‘thigh’ your infants!
5). THOU SHALT KILL! (Murder)
….additional Commandments:
THOU SHALT BLAME GOD!
(i.e: Whereas most criminal victimologists say: ‘The Devil Made Me Do It!’ Muslims of course worship Satan, who – beng a Liar who cannot accept personal blame or responsibility, must say):
“THE ALLAH MADE ME DO IT!”
Popular Variants include: “God killed him (them)!”
Of course, islam pretends in public that it has another “Five Pillars” (which involve “praying,” and “charity,” etc) but one seriously has to ask: WHO do you pray to?
…and WHAT do you pray FOR? (the destruction and death of all non-muslims)!
…and to what ends do you collect this ‘charity’…?
(i.e: WHAT percentage goes to your ‘holy’ robbery and murders, aka JIHAD)!?
😉
A contemptible, stupid gesture from a culture suffering from profound collective amnesia.
I just returned from Good Friday services, and I’m PROUD to say, as the priest led us in prayer that those in datkness come to know God, two large screens showed inages of Moslems. Thank God for our priest.
I hear ya brother. Ou church family has had a new pastor here in Australia for about a month now. And he also relates the battle between light and dark to be Chritianity and Islam. I’m just hoping our elders don’t get to pushy on his focus. I to thank Jesus regularly for our new pastor.
I always forget the spell check…

I sent an email to Delgarno suggesting that he read selections from the Koran, sunnah & tafsir to share the Islamic version of Jesus with his congregation.
Dajjal What happened to your great website???
Islam is a religion of total domination, over each and every Christian and non muslim.
Simple as that, this is why our troops and our allies are defending against this religion.
Sharia is the law of Islam, political and legal.
You are to be imposed upon to obey its teachings.
This is why YOU really need to get a grip, these Islamist are not in any way peaceful..
I don’t need to see images of Moslems on a large screen at a proud service, images of our Twin Towers would be more appropriate.
That’s all you need to know about Islam…..
Pastor Jones has owned his respect because he does not bow down to pislam like these dhimwits do.
Read the Koran! I could only read to the half, because it is so criminal.
Burn them en masse!
Blasphemous syncretism!
Listen to THIS which explains in full how Islam views Jesus — clearly NOT the Christian view.
So, what’s a church doing distributing Korans at Easter, the holiest season on the Christian calendar?
Let us hope that those who would not normally buy a koran, read the free copies and feel the shock of its dreadful message.
Chrislam in Utah…all roads lead to hell by doing this…collective salvation is just the widest road to get there….
All believers would do well (regardless of which church you claim) to read and heed the messages from Jesus in Revelation 2. There are harsh words for those “in” the churches who do things like follow Balams and Jezebel and Nicolaitans teachings. I’m not claiming Islam to be represented specifically by these references; just that any doctrine or repecting of false gods and false idols will bring nothing but the Wrath of the Lamb and God upon you. Nothing made God any madder in the OT than for His people to follow false gods. He punished them in justice and righteousness. He will also punish beyond imagination the antichrist and anyone who takes the Mark of the Beast. Many believe that kingdom will be Islamic.
Churches should encourage a critical read of the Koran, but with an understanding that it was written by satan, and doesn’t contain truth, regardless of how many fools claim it does.
My prayer is that God, in all his wisdom, understands that these people are trying to”get along”. How can Christians not understand what Islam and the Koran says? I am appalled that any of my fellow Christians would give away Korans free expecially at this time of year.
Utah is predominantly Mormon.
Mormons are in favor of polygamy.
Ergo, it goes without saying that the Mormons would be in favor of sharia law in the US.
I wish my church would pass out free Korans so I could have an extra book for burning.
This is an evil and rapidly growing trend around the country and world. I just began a series of articles on the subject on my website. In an effort to reach out to muslims, some ‘christian’ churches are attempting to appease by allowing a ‘merger’ of the two, and it just doesn’t work. I thank Logan’s Warning for the work they are doing and I invite all readers here to visit my website and click ‘As I see it,’ for more information and to comment. We all need to do our part in warning people about this.
My website for reference by the way is http://www.americanpatriotspress.com and once there please click on ‘As I see it.’ Happy Easter and God Bless you all. Continued success to Logan’s Warning.
Peaceful protest Muslims are granted in the U.S show how deep their hatred of America is.
As they burn the American flag here in America, they yell death to America.
Dr. Pastor Jones was arrested before he could even rally outside a Mosque in Dearborn MI yesterday and his rights as an American were taken away by the court, the local police and CAIR, there were white marxist yelling at him as they think Islam will embrace them.
Little do they know, their heads will be placed next to their ass once all is said and done.
Muslims yell you are not welcome in our community in Dearborn, you do not belong here.
There is a cancer spreading here in the U.S, it starts with non profits, Muslim Student Associations, Muslims embedded in our Military, in our government, in our system of life, they will not stop spreading unless we support each other and fight for the rights of Americans who are not anti America.
I would like to say thank you for offering to give people a free quran. Do you know it’s against the law to burn a library book, so with you doing this, it will help and I want to say thank you!
I’m sure that you meant to give these books out as a gesture to islams letting them know that YOUR thier friend.. I must admit calling it a bible instead of what it really is ( a manual) confused me and as a Christian Leader and shepherd of your flock you should know the difference… I being one of the sheep, do.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email and by all means please keep giving them out..
If the people actually “read” these korans, they will be awakened to what it really says. So that would be a wonderful thing. Perhaps all churches should do this; give out free Korans and urge people to read them. This will bring Islam down faster than anything.
I have the Abridged Koran version and it’s small and easy to read. My goal is to pass it around to as many intelligent people in my church congregation as I can (I think it’s best to start with the smartest and educated people). Already my first reader is shocked and horrified.
We should all do this. Buy a copy of the Abridged Koran and pass it around to people.
Finally an opinion worth reading. As I said in my comment, we can only defeat ignorance with knowledge. If we use the same amount of ignorance we will be bluntly defeated.
Well, of course I did not read most of the “statments” above, it disgusted me. The report itself is an insult to any form on intelligent or free thinking.
When you make a statment without knowing the minimum possible facts, it’s nothing but bitter intolerance.
You all condemn the ways of the Muslims, but you all act on the same way.
The distribution of free Qurans by this Church was the smartest move I have seen recently in Christianity. By the simple fact of reading the Quran and what it preaches, people will be very happy with their current religion and besides, will be knowing there is nothing to be feared. If you read the Quran all by yourself, you would never want to convert. But as people are lazy and don’t like to read, they go to preachers and then they hear a fantasy version of the Quran and then they convert. Judge by the majority of the Muslim countries, the level of education is very low and in many countries (the most radical ones) there is no proper modern school, only the religious madrassas. Show me one modern and open country that is majorly Muslim, I challenge you all.
So, I ask you: to defeat ignorance, the best way is to use ignorance as well? You will fail, because the most ignorant will prevail. You defeat ignorance with knowledge. Only. As simple as that.

Quote:
Patriarch Cyrus of Alexandria, while negotiating the surrender of Alexandria to the Muslims, 640 AD:
“I am afraid that God has sent these men to lay waste the world”.
Gregory Palamus of Thessalonica, 1354:
“For these impious people, hated by God and infamous, boast of having got the better of the Romans by their love of God…they live by the bow, the sword and debauchery, finding pleasure in taking slaves, devoting themselves to murder, pillage, spoil…and not only do they commit these crimes, but even — what an aberration — they believe that God approves of them. This is what I think of them, now that I know precisely about their way of life.”.
John Wesley (1703-91) who wrote,
“Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espousers of it…have been as wolves and tigers to all other nations, rending and tearing all that fell into their merciless paws, and grinding them with their iron teeth; that numberless cities are raised from the foundation, and only their name remaining; that many countries, which were once as the garden of God, are now a desolate wilderness; and that so many once numerous and powerful nations are vanished from the earth! Such was, and is at this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of these destroyers of human kind”.
William Eaton, US Consul to Tunis, wrote in 1799:
“Considered as a nation, they are deplorably wretched, because they have no property in the soil to inspire an ambition to cultivate it. They are abject slaves to the despotism of their government, and they are humiliated by tyranny, the worst of all tyrannies, the despotism of priestcraft. They live in more solemn fear of the frowns of a bigot who has been dead and rotten above a thousand years, than of the living despot whose frown would cost them their lives…The ignorance, superstitious tradition and civil and religious tyranny, which depress the human mind here, exclude improvement of every kind…”
Alexis de Tocqueville:
“I studied the Kuran a great deal … I came away from that study with the conviction that by and large there have been few religions in the world as deadly to men as that of Muhammed. As far as I can see, it is the principal cause of the decadence so visible today in the Muslim world, and, though less absurd than the polytheism of old, its social and political tendencies are in my opinion infinitely more to be feared, and I therefore regard it as a form of decadence rather than a form of progress in relation to paganism itself.”
John Quincy Adams wrote:
In the seventh century of the Christian era, a wandering Arab of the lineage of Hagar [i.e., Muhammad], the Egyptian, combining the powers of transcendent genius, with the preternatural energy of a fanatic, and the fraudulent spirit of an impostor, proclaimed himself as a messenger from Heaven, and spread desolation and delusion over an extensive portion of the earth. Adopting from the sublime conception of the Mosaic law, the doctrine of one omnipotent God; he connected indissolubly with it, the audacious falsehood, that he was himself his prophet and apostle. Adopting from the new Revelation of Jesus, the faith and hope of immortal life, and of future retribution, he humbled it to the dust by adapting all the rewards and sanctions of his religion to the gratification of the sexual passion. He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as a part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind. THE ESSENCE OF HIS DOCTRINE WAS VIOLENCE AND LUST: TO EXALT THE BRUTAL OVER THE SPIRITUAL PART OF HUMAN NATURE (Adams’s capital letters)… Between these two religions, thus contrasted in their characters, a war of twelve hundred years has already raged. The war is yet flagrant… While the merciless and dissolute dogmas of the false prophet shall furnish motives to human action, there can never be peace upon earth, and goodwill towards men.”
John Quincy Adams who wrote in 1829:
“The precept of the Koran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that Mahomet is the prophet of God. The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of tribute; the victorious may be appeased by a false and delusive promise of peace; and the faithful follower of the prophet, may submit to the imperious necessities of defeat: but the command to propagate the Moslem creed by the sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective. The commands of the prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force”.
Winston Churchill, wrote in 1899:
“The religion of Islam above all others was founded upon the sword … Moreover it provides incentives to slaughter, and in three continents has produced fighting breeds of men – filled with a wild and merciless fanaticism.”
Theodore Roosevelt wrote:
“The Greeks who triumphed at Marathon and Salamis did a work without which the world would have been deprived of the social value of Plato and Aristotle, of Aeschylus, Herodotus, and Thucydides. The civilization of Europe, America, and Australia exists today at all only because of the victories of civilized man over the enemies of civilization, because the victories stretching through the centuries from the days of Miltiades and Themistocles to those of Charles Martel in the eighth century and those of John Sobieski in the seventeenth century.”
“During the thousand years that included the careers of the Frankish soldier and the Polish king, the Christians of Asia and Africa proved unable to wage successful war with the Moslem conquerors; and in consequence Christianity practically vanished from the two continents; and today nobody can find in them any “social values” whatever, in the sense in which we use the words, so far as the sphere of Mohammedan influence. There are such “social values” today in Europe, America, and Australia only because during those thousand years the Christians of Europe possessed the warlike power to do what the Christians of Asia and Africa had failed to do – that is, to beat back the Moslem invader.”
Winston Churchill:
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”
G.K. Chesterton:
There is in Islam a paradox which is perhaps a permanent menace. The great creed born in the desert creates a kind of ecstasy of the very emptiness of its own land, and even, one may say, out of the emptiness of its own theology. . . . A void is made in the heart of Islam which has to be filled up again and again by a mere repetition of the revolution that founded it. There are no sacraments; the only thing that can happen is a sort of apocalypse, as unique as the end of the world; so the apocalypse can only be repeated and the world end again and again. There are no priests; and yet this equality can only breed a multitude if lawless prophets almost as numerous as priests. The very dogma that there is only one Mahomet produces an endless procession of Mahomets.

It’s a smart move.
But by itself, it achieves little. To so blaspheme against Islam is to draw its violence out of the closet.
It’s a risky move, certainly.
But not unwise, because of what may come of it.
You do not play much chess.
You do not understand the need to force the enemy out into the open.

I agree.
The indolence of those who have not read the Quran and any of the other Muslim scriptures and law codes is as great an enemy is Islam. It is by way of it that people can be lulled into non-resistance.
infreakincrdible, this is the kind of thing that is more dangerous then the mindset of a “peaceful” muslim, a free thinker who does not think!!!! Passing out a book that denies The Son of God and His death on Easter, I’m nearly speechless. It shows they OBVIOUSLY didn’t read the book they are handing out!!!
Let me share a few things from this book that a church is giving away!!!!
From the quran itself:
Fighting
Qur’an:9:88 “The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives in Allah’s Cause.”
Qur’an:9:5 “Fight and kill the disbelievers wherever you find them, take them captive, harass them, lie in wait and ambush them using every stratagem of war.”
Qur’an:9:112 “The Believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, kill and are killed.”
Qur’an:9:29 “Fight those who do not believe until they all surrender, paying the protective tax in submission.”
Perhaps there is another cause…
If you educate the masses to understand exactly what this “book” says, perhaps they will be more enlighted as to the, pardon the word, crap that is in it.
However, that being said… it could have been more adequately explained in a sermon series, but then I guess they’d get in trouble for spewing hate. Guess its a catch 22.
This has to be the most UNAMERICAN thing I’ve ever heard! Is’t real simple…not all Muslems are terrorists; but ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLEM! We’re a nation at war! This is textbook treason! Rev. Jones is a wackjob; but he’s an American wackjob! Political correctness and religious tolerance has replaced common sense! Why are we searching small children and the elderly at airports but we allow Islamic recruiting right under our noses?
America,you must wake up and smell the roses,
as there will be no roses left to smell, only the muslim stench of death. Please.
It is Islamic jihadists who are strapping bombs to men, women and children killing innocent people in the name of Allah. We had jihadists fly planes into our buildings killing innocent people in the name of Allah. We have jihadists infiltrating our government and military and massacring soldiers in the name of Allah. Muslims are slaughtering Christians around the World. We have Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the president of Iran calling for the destruction of Israel (Little Satan) and the US (Great Satan)
Islam is not just a religion; it is a religious system, a political system and a military system. Muslims can lie to the infidel to promote Islam. Radical Muslims believe Americans are infidels; and the infidels will have to convert to Islam, be enslaved or be killed. The Muslim Brotherhood calls for a “Civilization-Jihadist Process,” in which they would destroy the Western civilization from within and impose Sharia Law on this country. They state, we do not want to democratize Islam, we want to Islamize democracy. That is what we want.
Sharia Law is not compatible with the US Constitution. Nevertheless, there was a judge in New Jersey that used Sharia law in his decision. It was overturned, but he did it. A Judge in Florida ruled the use of Shariah law in a civil case on February 23,2011.
You have Muslim cab drivers refusing to pick up people (infidel’s) who have alcohol or dogs, etc. You have Muslim cashiers at Target who refuse to check out people with bacon. Christians in Dearborn Michigan were arrested June 2010, for handing out excerpts of the Bible on a public street outside of a Muslim festival to people who wanted the info. The Christians won their case and are now suing for Civil Rights violations, but they were arrested. Yet, at the 2010 Labor Day State Fair Muslims passed out literature on Islam to people inside the grounds. The UN wants to impose a law where no one can speak out against Islam.
As a State Senator, Obama said we must have empathy for the jihadists who attacked this country on 9/11.He also invited the Muslim Brotherhood to attend his 2009 speech in Cairo, Egypt. Barack Hussein Obama is an appeaser and shows weakness to the world endangering Americans.
These things are happening TODAY and that is why we must remain vigilante against this invasion. As I stated, look at what has been happening in Germany, Great Britain, Italy and France with Muslims.
If Imam Obama is re elected the west will die and we will be sent hurtling into a time that makes the dark ages look like a time of enlightenment. I hope we wake up before the sacred right of stoning women to death as family entertainment is a regular Sunday event. Obama IS muslim brotherhood and he hates Christians and whites. I voted for the Obamination but not again my eyes have been opened and I share my insight with others who are lost in blindness.
First… ”THOU SHALL HAVE ”NO OTHER GOD” BEFORE ME…
I think that was a pretty clear statement.. I also think ”promoting”, which is what this is doing, is ”offering” Islam to people..
I certainly would be looking over my shoulder if I were the one who did this, or agreed to it.. Shame on you.. working for evil.
The most influential Presbyterian Church in my city read the bleedin koran in the sanctuary on 9-11. The Presbyterian Church is in opinion no longer Christian but is now Chrislamic and still evolving ever more towards becoming islamic in total. Shame on them for what they do and all the good people who their clergy are leading into hell.
