Political Factoid
Controversial (and obviously radicalized)
Christian pastor Terry Jones
threatened to burn copies of the
Quran with great fanfare.*
In the end, he held a "mock trial"
for the Quran, found it guilty,
and then did burn it and
posted a video on the internet.
As a result, his actions incited tens
of thousands of Muslims who rioted
at a United Nations compound in
Afghanistan and killed 12 people in protest.
Terry Jones is reportedly proud of what he did.
America is not.

Muslims consider their holy book, the Quran,
to "be God" and burning it is to physically attack God.
