Well done Karzai and Yudhoyono, good work. You could have been the bigger men, you could have demonstrated prospective, serenity, control, wisdom. You could have demonstrated that your peaceful and tolerant religion is above such petty stunts. But no. What did you do? Incite the nutters. Don't worry that this pastor is insignificant, don't worry that a 50-strong church has no standing in the western world, don't worry that no Korans have actually been burnt and that the publicity pastor has suspended his threat. You just go and incite the nutters nonetheless.
Karzai calls it an insult to Islam (how exactly a religion can feel insulted one shall have to ask Karzai) and Yudhoyono claims it's a threat to world peace. Burning a couple of books can threaten world peace?? How exactly? So what's the response to the non-burning of the Koran, ahh yes, thousands of nutters take to the Afghan streets, burn the American flag and chant death to Christians. Can anyone else feel the hypocrasy?? If you don't want them to burn your holy book, why do you burn their flag and call for their deaths? Who's guilty now?
Jones is just a publicity seeking fool, but now he looks like he had a point all along because once again the Muslim world has reacted with violence and vile hatred. Now Jones doesn't look like such a fool or bad guy, once again it's the Muslim world which is the bad guy because it couldn't react with understanding, compassion, tolerance and reason. If he wanted to provoke you Muslims, he succeeded and you fell into his trap and who are the fools now?
