In Amarillo, Texas, David Grisham, director of Repent Amarillo, “which aims to deter promiscuity, homosexuality and non-Christian worship practices through confrontation and prayer,” planned to burn the Islamic holy text at a public gathering.

this is activism at its best. In the video interview you hear that people stood with their hands doused with kerosene over the Qur’an to prevent nutball Christian David Grisham from burning the books.
