The members of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida erected a sign on its front lawn last Sunday that reads, "Islam is of the Devil." The sign was vandalized and torn down that same evening but was re-erected the next day. Pastor Terry Jones had this to say:
Mr. Jones is mistaken; the United States is not a Christian nation, nor was it ever intended to be, even if Christians comprise the majority of Americans. By that reasoning, the US is also white nation, and a female nation.
“We think we are losing our heritage as a Christian nation.”

Mr. Jones is mistaken; the United States is not a Christian nation, nor was it ever intended to be, even if Christians comprise the majority of Americans. By that reasoning, the US is also white nation, and a female nation.
“To be a Christian, you would have to agree with that sign,” Jones said.More poor reasoning. While Christians have long argued with each other over what the requirements of being a Christian actually are, no one until now has declared that Christian membership requires agreeing with anti-Islam sentiments.
