Mr. Jones said in an interview with Agence France-Presse on Friday that he was “devastated” by the killings of 12 people in a violent protest in Afghanistan when a mob, enraged by the burning of a Koran by Mr. Jones’s church, attacked the United Nations compound in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif. “We don’t feel responsible for that,” he told the news service.
Unlike the worldwide outcry that greeted the pastor’s plan to burn 200 copies of the Koran on Sept. 11 — which he ultimately abandoned — the event last week at the 50-member church was largely ignored by the news media. As of 2 p.m. on Friday, the video of the Koran’s burning on the church Web site had been viewed only 1,500 times.
'Horrible tragedy'
“The local strategy of everybody was to ignore this,” said the Rev. Lawrence D. Reimer, pastor of the United Church of Gainesville. “It’s just a horrible tragedy that this act triggered the deaths of more innocent people.”
Some church members were surprised by the violent reaction in Afghanistan on Friday, said Fran Ingram, an assistant at the church. She explained that it was decided in the weeks leading up to the burning that a jury of churchgoers and volunteers would hear both sides before deciding what to do.
These Muslims are insane! They act like drunk children that are hate-filled. People that worship Satan are better people than these Islamic animals!! They are barbarians! They killed 12 people because someone burned their book! 12 people DEAD... horribly murdered.... brutally murdered. Because of a book that was burned. Im all for nuking that whole area and wiping out these crazy people!

12 people died that means nuclear genocide is necessary. Also it's god's book, AND theirs.
Also, American schoolchildren take guns to class and kill eachother and theyre 1/3 obese useless loafs. Evidence that the society as a whole needs vaporised off the face of the earth.
They JUST didnt die. They were BRUTALLY MURDERED!!! Why? Because some guy on the other side of the Earth burned their book. Religion SUCKS! And especially the muslim religion. They are murders and barbarians.
He is no man of god. He is as cold blooded as the murders in Afghanistan. He knew exactly what he was doing and what reaction there would be against it. He provoked the murders of Afghanistan and should stand trial for at least man-slaughter if not out right murder. Alternatively he should be extradited to Afghanistan or any Muslim nation who wants him and let them deal with his hatemongering.

i'm all for taking out the murderers but i'm not so keen on nuking the whole area and wiping out innocent people that had nothing to do with this.These Muslims are insane!

noodle what are you thinking. it would not be a lot easier. that would make you no better than the crazies that do messed up stuff like this. i can't say it enough and i'll keep saying it no matter how many times i have to. do not associate all muslims with these ****ed up extremists. please.Ok fair enough. It would be a LOT easier though! But youre right. murder those that killed innocent people! Can you even IMAGINE the mentality that you would cut off the heads of innocent people... 12 of them.... because some dude burned a book? You can replace a book. But you cant replace the people.

Fighting Radicals by antagonizing them only breads more of what you claim to oppose.
He would have made a much better point had he just made a quality video to post explaining what makes Islam a dangerous Cult and not a true religion.
I believe Terry Jones is a halfwit who is dangerous and hateful.
As to those who killed what is now said to be 12 people with 2 of them being beheaded? We need to make it clear to the world that what was done by Jones was not a representation of how World is or acts and that by going on a rampage they only encourage people like Jones to keep doing things like book burnings.
As to what we should do to Jones? Nothing. Make sure he gets no press unless of until he is Killed by Radicals.

Makes perfect sense. After all, the corollary to the above statement is that Fighting radicals by doing everything they want and treating them with the utmost respect and never ever saying a harsh word against them will certainly turn them to the side of Jesus and love.
Right?
Then what would they have done with the marshmallows?
He's in the United States, there's nothing wrong with burning a koran, anywhere, and there's nothing illegal with burning one here, unless it's tied to a muslim. That's probably not kosher, but that's not what happened anyway.
The First Amendment gives Americans the right to commit controlled arson in protest.
Doesn't matter. He's a citizen with full rights and freedoms in the United States, and that means he's free to cook the books in that special way of his.
No. Burnin the books is how the freedoms in the United States most certainly works, and crazy beheadings and murders by ISLAMIC TERRORISTS (to use words the guy in White House banned) are how other parts of the world works. Terry Jones and his posse possibly did some in the world a favor by putting the lie to the silly notion promoted by Bush and defended by Obama that Islam is a religion of peace.
Islam is a religion that leads to the most heinous acts of violence seen in the modern world.
So censorship is your solution. Don't do anything to deal with the crazy people who cut heads off, just keep walking on eggshells and hoping the yolk's not getting on you.

I forgot those were the only two options. Silly me and my "shades of grey."
Having the right to do something doesn't always mean someone should do something. Just because the WBC has the right to picket funerals doesn't mean they should picket funerals.

Not the point being made by the loonies posting here. Some want a man exercising his freedoms in America to be held criminally liable for the antics of animals overseas. Others want him banned from the media.
Clearly there's an easy solution to the picketing of funerals by lawyers pretending to be religious nuts. Make it a misdemeanor for anyone attending a funeral to break the legs of anyone protesting that funeral. The fine shall be $10 per tibia, with a maximum of 1 night in jail.
That'll put a stop to that nonsense real fast. Mayor Snorkum has no idea what pestering lawyers has to do with terrorists and animals in Afghanland, but you saw something.
You are correct. In the US, his First Amendment rights allow him to, legally, burn the Koran. The question isn't whether he had the right... of course he did. The question is, does it make sense, it is the prudent thing to do? For example, you are a pedestrian walking across the street. The light is red, so you have the right of way. A car, not caring about the right of way, comes speeding your way. Do you keep walking, because you have the right of way... getting hit in the process?
Sometimes exercising your rights solely because you can is pretty stupid. Words and actions have consequences, even if the are a right or are legal.
The question is, where are you people getting off judging him? Okay, you have that right as well, so fine, but the whole exercise turns into a circle jerk once all the adults figure out that Jones had the freedom to act as he did and that questions about the wisdom of the act are irrelevant since there's no law preventing Jones from doing exactly the same thing five times a day when the muslims are called to prayer.
The fault for the incident does not lie with Jones. The damage was done by malignant children embraced by a religion of hatred and insanity.
That should be the focus of the discussion, what to do about the crazy animals with the headsman's paring knife.
Mayor Snorkum's position is that the United States should unilaterally withdraw from Islamic lands with the caveat that if ANY islamic terrorist act ever again occurs on US soil or at US embassies or against US military or commercially flagged ships that the United States is going to make the originating nation a bubbling mass of glass, without wasting time on useless recourse to the UN or NATO or anyone.
