Buddha Statue Stolen for Scrap Metal
http://www.breitbart.com/article.php...show_article=1
ELK RIVER, Minn. (AP) - The high demand and soaring prices for scrap metal appeared to be the reason a 7-foot statue of Buddha, covered in copper-laden bronze, was stolen from an outdoor temple shrine at the Thai Buddhist Center of Minnesota, police said.
Police Chief Jeff Beahen said a 45-year-old Elk River woman was arrested Friday night, and a male family member was being looked at as another suspect in the theft.
The statue, valued at $10,000, was stolen Wednesday night, and a detective issued a statewide alert to police and scrap dealers Thursday with a photo of the stolen statue.
Early Friday afternoon, a recycling company in Monticello called the detective, saying they had taken in two pieces of scrap they believed to be from the statue.
Police recovered the right shoulder and right hip of the statue, each weighing about 60 pounds, and with the help of the recycler were able to identify the woman who had brought them in.
"There are another 10 pieces or so, and I hope the other recycling companies are as diligent in talking with us," Beahen said.
The statue was specially made in Thailand for the center.
"It's too bad," said temple member Jay Cramer. "The whole community is real sad. It's a sacred piece." But Cramer said there was some relief in knowing that the statue was stolen for money and not because of bigotry. A new law took effect in Minnesota Aug. 1 requiring scrap dealers to keep detailed records of all transactions. Sellers must show state- issued IDs, and dealers must pay them with checks or electronic transfers and take pictures of them and their vehicles.
These righteous folk should be congratulated for showing some incentive. Think of the size of the cross we could erect if more committed Christians like these were to gather up all the heathen idols like menoras, buddhas, shivas etc. , melt them down and make a huge erection for Jesus. I personally can't think of anything more pleasing than a massive organ for our church. People would be lined up for miles for a chance to play upon it. Glory!
The devil, whose business is to pervert the truth, mimics the exact circumstance of the Divine Sacraments. He baptises his believers and promises forgiveness of sins...he celebrates the oblation of bread, and brings in the symbol of the resurrection. Let us therefore acknowledge the craftiness of the devil, who copied certain things of those that be divine." Tertullian (155-222 AD) from The Prescription Against Heretics' Ch XL

I don't see the big deal.
It's just a fat Buddha.
God bless America, the Second Amendment and the Constitution. God bless the United States Marine Corps and all who fight for Jesus in third world cess pools. God bless the GOP and all they stand for, Truth, Honesty and the American people. God bless Landover Baptist Church and all True Christians™ the world over. Curses to our Muslim President, his failure is our Salvation.

The worshipers of that false god Buddha should be happy that that's all that happened. A king who is described as having done what is right in the sight of the Lord had graven images pounded into dust and did a few things to their worshipers and priests:
2 Chron. 34:1-7: Josiah [was] eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem one and thirty years. And he did [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined [neither] to the right hand, nor to the left. For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father: and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images. And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his presence; and the images, that [were] on high above them, he cut down; and the groves, and the carved images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, and made dust [of them], and strowed [it] upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them. And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and cleansed Judah and Jerusalem. And [so did he] in the cities of Manasseh, and Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their mattocks round about. And when he had broken down the altars and the groves, and had beaten the graven images into powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.
I pray that the day will soon come when we are indeed one nation under Jesus and our Divinely hand-picked President will do the same.

The one thing I liked about those toweliban boys over in Iraquistan was when they blew up those giant boodah statues out in their desert. I mean who needs crap like that?

What were those Buddhists doing with a statue in their temple in the first place? The Bible clearly forbids graven images, what's wrong with those Buddhists?
Time to reclaim our FREEDOM from the “Mullah in Chief” and his growing activist voter hoards of socialists, communists, anti-Semites, anti-Christians, atheists, radical gays and lesbians, feminists, illegal immigrants, Muslims, anti-Anglo whites and others.
