What about freedom of speech? Do you think those goons in Afghanistan give a hoot about our "Holy Book", the Bible? NO!! They will burn anything to do with Christianity. I say p@ss on those sh@ts! Radical Islam is the root of all evil....... I think I'll start a rock band, that will be named "Flushing Qurans"....

Let those sh@ts riot! I will not appease terrorists!

its his right to do that as an american and as far as burning the so called holy koran...really so he burns one and they kill how many .....yet they burn flags and bibles and we dont condem that just fork out billions for their country ...and we condemn and America for doing somehting that he has the right to do..I dont agree with him but realyl yes it caused deaths ..but really they were casued by an extreme religion that should not exist......you dont kill someone for burning a book....its a boook....that got reprinted from paper that we as man made ....not GOD or ( SATAN?holy KORAN)

Although I do not agree with this pastor and certainly feel he is very wrong and just looking for his additional 15 minutes of fame, I have to also blame the media for covering it instead of just ignoring it and letting him fade away. He has now gotten his 15 minutes of fame again, and because of the media's attention we now have people dying. Shame on you and all of us!!

How about we send Terry Jones to Afghanistan with a crate of Korans?

Then he could explain to the Afghan people how his "World Dove Outreach Center" is a horrible misnomer.

He should do time for this. The blood of everyone that died is on his hands. Christ-like my rear end.

Terry Jones is an idiot!!! I would not call his a pastor as he does not deserve the respect. Definition of Pastor: The word pastor usually refers to an ordained leader of a Christian congregation.

He can not be a Christian as Christians do not belittle other people's religion. We are tolerant of all and "teach" Christianity.
