CI have a question for our political leaders such as President Obama, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, and incoming CIA Direction David Petraeus. It's been reported by Newsmax that the Iranian authorities in northwestern Iran seized 6500 Bibles. This is according to the Iranian Christian news organization Mohabat News. The agency has reported several other recent incidents of Bibles and other Christian literature being seized and sometimes publicly burned. My question to the President, Secretary of State, and all the other political figures in the U.S. I just mentioned is, what is your response to the Iranian authorities seizing Bibles in northwestern Iran? Are you offened by the Iranian government burning the Holy Bible, the same Bible that our great country was founded upon? The framework of our government is built upon the principles of the Bible. As you all may know, America was founded upon Judeo Christian principles. The U.S. Supreme Court back in 1892 said in a Supreme Court ruling that America is "indeed a Christian nation." Does that mean anything to you when an Islamic government in the Middle East such as Iran has such disdain for the Bible? Evidently not.
I can remember back last year how you all pleaded and strongly encouraged Pastor Terry Jones of Gainesville, Florida to not participate in the Koran burning ceremony at his church, which he eventually did sometime this year. Even you, Mr. Petraeus, who has been commander of the forces in Afghanistan, pleaded with Pastor Jones to not go through this Koran burning ceremony. The Koran is a holy, sacred book to the Muslims. It would make it difficult for the troops in Afghanistan to fight if Terry Jones made a public display of burning the Koran. It will have all Muslims enraged and in an uproar in the Middle East. You thought it would be terrible for an unknown pastor to hold a Koran burning ceremony in Florida, which he has the constitutional right to do so. However, aren't you all outraged over the Iranians burning the Holy Bible, which is a sacred book. It is the book which is settled forever in Heaven. Don't you all believe that burning the Bible is offensive to Christians? Evidently not. Of course, I'll have to admit Christians seemingly don't appear to be outraged publicly about the authorities in Iran seizing and burning the Bible like the Muslims in the Middle East about the Koran being burned in a ceremony. I see a double-standard among you politicans. You don't desire to offend Muslims but you don't have a problem with offending Christians. Something's not right about this scenario.
