'Dude, you have no Quran!'
A shirtless skateboarder is a local hero for stopping a Quran-burning in Amarillo over the weekend.
Inspired by the canceled plan that got national attention, Pastor David Grisham announced he'd burn a Quran in a public park, but was foiled by a guy who swiped the holy book from his hands.
"I snook up behind him and took his Quran. He said something about burning a Quran, and I said, 'Dude, you have no Quran!' and ran off," said 23-year-old Amarillo resident Jacob Isom, who protested the burning along with more than 200 others, most recruited by a local Unitarian Universalist congregation. The opposition toted signs promoting peace and tolerance between faiths.
Grisham is well-known for hate-filled antics--he'd launched a boycott against the city of Houston for its "social ills" and held rallies against the gay population in Amarillo.
"You're just trying to start Holy Wars," Isom said of Grisham after he gave the book to a religious leader from the Islamic Center of Amarillo, the Amarillo Globe-News reported.
