And the Mullahs who encouraged it are also idiots.
There, I said it.
But the man in Florida who organized the burning of Korans -- supposedly a religious leader himself -- was warned by the US government not to do this. He was told that this would happen and he did it anyway.
Which is like yelling FIRE! in a crowded movie theater.
From the article:
Terry Jones, the Florida pastor, caused an international uproar by threatening to burn the Koran last year on the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Among others, the overall commander of forces in Afghanistan, Gen. David H. Petraeus, had warned at that time that such an action could provoke violence in Afghanistan and could endanger American troops. Mr. Jones subsequently promised not to burn a Koran, but he nonetheless presided over a mock trial and then the burning of the Koran at his small church in Gainesville, Fla., on March 20, with only 30 worshipers attending."
And now US troops may pay for this act of foolishness with their lives, too.
I personally believe that if Jesus were on Earth today, he would walk up to this man, turn his back on him, and walk away in embarrassment.
