Why is it the Baptists seem to always be the ones who start
controversy? This time it is from a Church in Florida and not the usual suspects
– Westmore Baptist Church in Kansas. From Science Daily:

Florida church speaks out against Islam

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., July 28 (UPI) — A sign outside a
Jacksonville, Fla., church proclaims, “Islam is evil and believes in murder.
Jesus teaches peace.”

The Rev. Gene Youngblood says the sign at the entrance of
First Conservative Baptist Church and the Conservative Theological Seminary
may be controversial but it has been researched and speaks the truth.

References to specific verses from the Koran and the
Bible accompany the statement, which Youngblood said are meant to serve as a
warning to society.

“I am of the opinion, based on enormous research of the
Muslims’ own books, that Islam is the most vile, wicked, evil danger facing
the world today,” Youngblood told the Jacksonville Times-Union. He said the
sign was inspired by this month’s London terrorist bombings.

The church displayed a sign in 2003 declaring “Muhammad
approved murder.” Youngblood runs a Web site — www.truthsthatfree.com — that
portrays what he considers to be the truth about Islam.

Muslims condemned the messages as hateful and ignorant

While I support our freedom of speech, I can not support it
when it is used to promote hate. We are fighting an Islamic extremist group that
will stop at nothing to win. Promoting this type of hate is not only dangerous
to the people of Florida, but also raises issues of national security. The
continued actions of people expressing a blanket of hate to the Muslim world are
doing nothing but help the recruiting efforts of al Qaeda. These are the ones
that truly must be called “UNPATRIOTIC”.
