US Baptist Minister = "The Koran needs to be flushed."
FOREST CITY -- The pastor of a Rutherford County Baptist church apologized Wednesday for posting a sign in front of his church that read: "The Koran needs to be flushed."
The sign was posted last weekend in front of Danieltown Baptist Church, located on U.S. 221 in Forest City, an immediately sparked intense debate about religious tolerance. The news story was picked up by regional and national media outlets, sparking a national re-sponse to the sign.
On Tuesday, the Rev. Creighton Lovelace, pastor of the church, declined to apologize for the display despite the outcry of protest. On Wednesday, when contacted by a broadcast news reporter with The Associated Press, Lovelace backed down from that stand. Lovelace said that in posting the sign he meant to affirm and exalt the Bible, not insult Muslims.
