OK, this fellow causing all the stink, Rev. Terry Jones is indeed a hateful bigot who wants to burn Qu-rans, no question about it. However, is he really worth all the brouhaha? It only took a few moments research to find that his church consists of a 50 member congregation. That puts it somewhere in the Westboro Baptist Church category. His message smacks of Westboro as well and in fact Fred Phelps cult, (Westboro Baptist) participated in a joint protest with Jones flock in April 2010. They were protesting homosexuality! What a surprise.
I guess Jones figured he needed to stake out his own territory in loony land by his outrageous attacks on Islam? Now he has all the free publicity he wants and it only cost him a few phone calls to a sensation hungry press and some hand painted signs.
I understand the anger from Muslims around the world at this guy, but perhaps he should be treated like Fred Phelps, and just ignored wherever possible. He feeds on publicity and if you cut off the supply his little cult will fade away.
Note to the press: Since when was it BIG NEWS when a wacko preacher with a nearly non-existant congregation decides to do something hateful and silly at the same time? Must be a slow news month. I guess you ran out of "it's so hot you can fry an egg on the sidewalk" stories and now have to pander to the genuine certified lunatic fringe?

THIS GUY A REAL DINK HEAD NUT CASE
Terry Jones is an idiot as well as a bigot. He has no isea how thw muslim minds work and he is tempting full out muslim war on the U.S.. What he is planning is worsw than waving a side of beef in front of a pride of lions. There will be bloodshed against Americans around the world if his ignorance, stupidity and arrogance continues.
