War Of The Worlds

From the USAQ Today:
"…In a looming event already drawing protests in Muslim nations, a Florida church plans an “International Burn a Quran Day” on Saturday’s anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Louisville religious groups are planning events in opposition to that. Clifton Universalist Unitarian Church will host a continuous reading of the Quran on Sept. 11 from 9:11 a.m. to 9:11 p.m. The same day, Interfaith Paths to Peace plans displays and readings from the sacred texts of various world religions on such topics as peace and cooperation at 11:30 a.m. at Highland Baptist Church".

The Louisville group reminds me of a scene in the 1950's movie, War of the Worlds, with Gene Barry and others to obscure to mention. There was a scene early on when a minister confronts the martian space ship. He's walking toward them holding a Bible in the air and uttering those famous words, "Though I walk through the shadow of death, etc", when ZAPPO--he's vaporized! I think there might be a lesson in this.
