As usual, Reformationist Michael Horton weighs in with very good right-on comments about this Koran burning event,
Burning the Qur’an is wrong for the following reasons:
(1) It confuses the proclamation of Christ with violent conflict, justifying the suspicions of our secular and Muslim neighbors that Christianity is also a quasi-political movement;
(2) It puts our neighbors around the world at risk, Christian and non-Christian, military and civilian;
(3) It puts our brothers and sisters at greater risk, not for the gospel, but for an easy act of desperation that avoids the difficult sacrifice that fellow Christians around the world are making daily in their witness to God’s saving love in Christ.
