If you haven’t been living under a rock for the past month or so, you must have heard about Florida pastor Terry Jones’ plans to hold a Quran burning on the anniversary of 9/11.
It’s so unfortunate to see someone heartless enough to commemorate the anniversary of 9/11, a day on which was committed one of most heinous, hateful, and violent acts our nation has ever seen, by yet another heinous, hateful, and violent act. In the name of the First Amendment, Jones plans to hold this event to send a message to Islamic extremists. However, the only message he is sending is that he is an idiot who is basically placing a sign on America’s forehead saying “please attack us, we’re asking for it.”
While politicians and journalists have been extremely vocal about both the “Ground Zero Mosque” controversy as well as Jones' Quran burning plans, from idiots like Sarah Palin and Newt Gingrich to the more intelligent like Anderson Cooper, Keith Olberman, US military leaders, and even our very own PRESIDENT, it doesn’t seem like Jones is backing down.
