"Controversial" Florida pastor Terry Jones, a marginal fanatic and hustler who the media built up into an international figure instead of giving him little or no attention (as they routinely do to various progressives even when they hold rallies of thousands of people) went ahead and burned a Koran to satisfy his insatiable lust for free publicity and feelings of self-importance. This provoked primitive Afghans to attack a wholly innocent target of opportunity; a UN compound in Afghanistan, murdering 20 people there. [1] A typical redneck self-styled holy man, Jones is a classic American hustler and con artist of the Elmer Gantry type, indigenous to primitive U.S. redneck culture. Provoking ignorant, backward, brainwashed Afghans is akin to bearbaiting.
So the "Christian" Jones, through his deliberately provocative, gratuitous, publicity-seeking act, has the blood of 20 people on his hands. He was warned months ago that such violence in the Muslim world would be a predictable outcome of his hate-speech act.
Thanks, asshole.
Too bad he didn't do it in France or Germany, where they'd lock him up.
Oh, by the way, leftists get locked up ALL THE TIME in America for free speech "crimes." Like Martin Sostre, who spent decades in New York State prisons. Sostre's crime was selling Marxist books in his bookstore. An FBI agent told him to stop. Sostre, naive and defiant, told the agent he had a right to sell them. The secret policeman's ominous reply was "O.K., Marty, have it your way."
Next thing you know, Sostre was framed up on spurious heroin dealing charges. Detectives had a junkie give Sostre some money to hold for him- marked bills- then told the detectives he'd purchased a small bag of heroin from Sostre. Sostre was railroaded into a 41 year prison sentence for this.
He was later "pardoned" by Governor Hugh Carey, after international agitation by Amnesty International and others created unwanted exposure of U.S. repression. Sostre had endured constant anal cavity "searches" as a form of torture in the prisons of "liberal" New York State. See:
