Evidence that right-wing loonies have no sense of self, episode 1,251: Pastor Terry Jones, Koran burner, interviewed by ABC News’ Bill Weir:
Weir: When you got news of today’s deadly riots there in Afghanistan, what was the first thought that went through your head?
Jones: Yeah, yeah of course we were very saddened and devastated by that. It is of course a terrible thing anytime anyone is killed. Anytime someone’s life is cut short through murder or even accident. I think it definitely does prove that there is a radical element of Islam. (My emphasis)
Apparently Pastor Jones isn’t self-aware enough to recognize that he’s part of a radical element of Christianity, one which ignores its namesake’s tolerance and profession of love for all humankind.
If I were a believer in God I’d ask Him or Her why he/she suffers fools and their behavior in his/her name.
Read the whole thing. It reinforces the opinion I formed of Jones back when he surfaced a few months back: he’s a dull and dense blowhard with an extreme sense of his own righteousness.
Jones is a moron, free speech or not. Anyone with brains knows you don’t poke a bear with a stick unless you want someone to get clawed. Of course the bear is sort of dumb to let a pissant like Jones get under his skin.
