In Florida a Christian Pastor wants to burn a bunch of Korans, the Islamic Holy Book. He says that his reasoning behind the burning is the proposed Mosque that will be built near Ground Zero on New York City. He thinks that it is offensive for this building to be built there. His idea has caused a firestorm of media attention and global criticism. Even USA military leaders are asking Jones not to do this, fearing attack on our soldiers. Jones and the Imam of the New York area have a probable meeting for early this week discussing this issue. Many people around the country have criticized Jones, saying that he just wants the media attention. Jones has also reportedly gone back and forth on whether or not to do this.
I think that this guy is a total psycho. First off, burning the Korans is going to make people mad and cause more problems. Also, it could endanger the lives of our deployed troops in foreign countries.I hope that Jones doesn't do this because I think that it could spark a global incident. Finally, I believe that Jones is doing this just for the media attention and that this is just some crazy guy that wants some money.
