Yesterday, Right Wing Extreme announced that it will not be participating in the Burn a Quran day event planned by Dove World Outreach in Gainesville. According to their website, the group’s leadership determined “this event does not glorify GOD in way that leads the lost to Jesus Christ.” Adding “the liberal media is intentionally using stories such as the burning of the Koran to distract, divide, and enrage the public.”
They further asked their brothers in Christ at Dove World Outreach to not hold the book burning because “it may diminish the work of the Holy Spirit to witness to Muslims.”
No word yet on whether Dove World Outreach will head Right Wing Extreme’s call for moderation or whether they will instead continue with their plans to burn Qurans on Burn a Quran Day.
Right Wing Extreme is an armed Christian militia that was founded in April 2009 in response to the growing concern from law enforcement about armed right wing extremist groups. They adhere to a code of chivalry that takes its imagery and language from the romanticized idea of chivalrous medieval knights.
On the plus side, they do promise to “be obedient in all things to the commands of ladies.” Other good news is that almost 60% of their members, according to the poll on their website, are aware Barack Obama is not a Muslim. Though that does mean a full 37% think he is.
Final analysis: A group of armed Christians who like to pretend they are chivalrous medieval knights are providing a moderating voice in the debate over Quran burning.

Hey there - thanks - I just favorited you back! Great to see your articles.
LOL! I got a kick out of the Final Analysis... Very witty. (We have a sense of humor too, you know). Thanks for the coverage, Jennifer.
FYI - I am Jennifer - need to figure out how to change my user name. Anyhoo - I totally loved your website. It was uber cool. I went to it thinking you guys were totally different from what it turns out you are. And I absolutely loved your code of chivalry - well, except for the religious bits, but I won't fault you for that.
I will be linking your article to mine. Thank you for your contribution Jennifer ;)
