BACKGROUND: === Quran Burning: Solidarity Protest at White House on 9/11 at 11:30 A.M.: Pages of Quran to be Ripped Apart by Andrew Beacham, Tea Party leader from Indiana WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 -- "I will not fear any man; I fear God alone. I will not live in fear of Islam, and I will not deny my God. I will preach the Christian faith, and not allow the oppressive teachings of Muhammad to remain unchallenged." Andrew Beacham, Tea Party leader from Indiana. Also: See Dr. Timothy Furnish's article: "What Would Jesus Do With a Qur'an? Actually, He Might Burn It." http://hnn.us/blogs/78.html WASHINGTON, Sept. 10 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The following was released today by Andrew Beacham, Tea Party leader from Indiana: Tea Party and Religious rights activists will gather in front of the White House to tear out egregious passages from the Quran that call for violence against Christians and Jews. This is a peaceful "solidarity gathering" regarding religious freedom, and proposed Quran burning. They will ask: "President Obama, do you support the Sharia law, the Quran, and Islamic violence; or do you stand with religious freedom, American liberty, your professed Christianity, and peaceful protest? "Mr. President, you stand with the 'constitutional freedom' of Muslims to put a Mosque at ground zero. Do you stand with the 'constitutional freedoms' of those who protest against Sharia law, and burn a book that calls for killing infidels?" On Saturday, September 11, at 11:30 A.M., a large group of Americans from around the nation will gather in front of the White House to show solidarity with those who intend to burn the Quran at various locations in America. Andrew Beacham, Tea Party leader from Indiana and one of the protest co-organizer says: "I will not fear any man; I fear God alone. I will not live in fear of Islam, and I will not deny my God. I will preach the Christian faith, and not allow the oppressive teachings of Muhammad to remain unchallenged." "I intend to tear up the pages of the Quran that call for me to be enslaved or killed by Muslims for my Christian faith. If that insults or enrages Muslims, so be it." Randall Terry, Host of daily TV show Randall Terry: The Voice of Resistance, is also a protest co-organizer. He will hand out copies of two Masters level research papers he recently completed for a Masters program on International Terrorism. The two thesis questions and papers are: 1) "Is Islamic Sharia law incompatible with international laws of human rights for freedom of thought, conscience, religion and expression?" 2) "How do the words and deeds of Islamic terrorists, or Muslims who call for acts of terror and violence, emulate the words and deeds of Muhammad?" Note: Timothy R. Furnish, Ph.D., - author of "What Would Jesus Do With a Qur'an? Actually, He Might Burn It." is a writer, researcher and analyst specializing in Islamic history, sects, eschatology, ideology and Mahdism.

SOURCE Andrew Beacham, Tea Party leader from Indiana === A small group of Americans tore some pages from a Koran in a protest outside the White House Saturday to denounce what they called the "charade of Islam" on the anniversary of 9/11. "Part of why we're doing that, please hear me: the charade that Islam is a peaceful religion must end," said Randall Terry, a leading anti-abortion campaigner, and one of six people who took part in the protest. Another activist, Andrew Beacham, read out a few Koran passages calling for hatred towards Christians and Jews, and then ripped those pages from an English paperback edition of the Islamic holy book. He carefully put the torn pieces into a plastic bag, in order not to litter, and said: "The only reason I will not burn it at the White House is because to burn anything on the Capitol grounds is a felony." Beacham, who describes himself as a leader of the rightwing conservative Tea Party from Indiana, added: "The Twin Towers were taken down because of the Koran and other religious teachings." A few curious tourists stopped to watch the huddle outside the White House, while police took down the names of the participants but did not intervene. The tiny protest came as the United States marked the somber ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks amid heightened tensions following a radical Florida pastor's threat to burn the Koran. After days of global outrage and protests, pastor Terry Jones, from Gainesville, said Saturday: "We will definitely not burn the Koran, no." "Not today, not ever," he told NBC television when pressed for his plans. President Barack Obama told a deeply polarized America on Saturday that Islam was not the enemy as the 9/11 ceremonies took place. "As Americans we will not and never will be at war with Islam. It was not a religion that attacked us that September day. It was Al-Qaeda, (a) sorry band of men, which perverts religion," Obama said.
