Yes. I think it might be that simple.
Asshole and fire
Terry Jones is the pastor from the Dove World Outreach Center who announced last year that he was going to burn the Koran, then said he wouldn’t and then went ahead and did (and I kid you not, after holding a mock trial with himself as presiding judge).
Predictably, this led to violent protest and loss of life in Afghanistan. Who couldn’t have seen that coming?
Now this guy has been briefly arrested because of a planned protest in a Muslim neighbourhood. The question has to be asked: Is Terry Jones just a bit of a fame whore?
I think this guy has been bitten by the bug of his notoriety to be honest. He said some stupid stuff and got some attention, so he did some stupid stuff to get a little more attention. I think we can look forward (if that’s the word) to seeing this guys hound dog features popping up on our screens for some time to come. He’s obviously loving it. Asshole…
I have to assume that Jones has completely missed the irony of his actions. How does he think his Bible would fare if put on trial? I have an idea it wouldn’t do so well.
