This whole affair has got far too much attention, Terry Jones´ stunt should just have been ignored.
Here is an excerpts from a blog on:
http://usablog.blogs.berlingske.dk/2010/09/10/pa-pinde-for-en-bogafbr%25c3%25a6nder/The blogger starts by describing how insignificant Terry Jones is and what a failure he is and then goes on to say :
He has repeatedly drowned this lack of recognition and success in media stunts and with more and more extreme verbal attacks against Muslims, and it culminates with the Koran burning plans.
And now what?
There will always be people like Terry Jones, not only in the Islamophobic wing, but also on the Christianophobic side, not only on the right, but also on the Left , there are village idiots, garden gnomes and bozos everywhere, but the question is how much oxygen we should give them ? Should the whole world be put in DefCon3 because a pastor for 50 non-entities in Florida plans to burn Korans ?
The question should be answered by us in the Western world, by the politicians and public persons who have given him the attention and by the media, who have sent wall -to-wall from Gainesville, but the question should also be answered by the Muslim world.
Said straight out : We cannot prevent Koran burnings. Sorry. Someone may tomorrow burn Korans and draw the prophet with bombs and willies and we cannot each time bring out popes and presidents, Anders Fogh Rasmussen and Defense Secretary Gates. Occasionally it will happen , sometimes it will turn out to be like a reality show, and then the Muslims will have to understand that Terry Jones is not the same as a united NATO decision, ten men in a bodega is not the same as an EU statement , and a stencilduplicated flyer is not the same as a papal decree with the seal and the whole shebang . When it happens , it only reflects what it is - an isolated Pastor , ten drunks and a flyer that smells of alcohol, it is not an Islamophobic world conspiracy.
This is what they have to understand, and if the Muslim street cannot understand it, then the Muslim political and religious leaders have to make them understand it.
Terry Jones has been a world vaudeville, a painful affair, where everyone is a joke, and the worst is that it is not yet over.
Because the Koran burning may yet happen or maybe not . Terry Jones has not decided yet.
When it happens , it only reflects what it is - an isolated Pastor , ten drunks and a flyer that smells of alcohol, it is not an Islamophobic world conspiracy.
Yeah, but will they ever understand that ? There are already riots in Pakistan and Gaza, where an Imam said that their highest aspiration was to die fighting for Allah. Sigh !
Incidently, just heard on the News, that Koran burnings are being planned in 3 other places in the U.S.
