Terry Jones may be a nut but in this case he’s absolutely right when he says some Islamists don’t need much of a reason to turn into blood thirty savages.
If someone draws a cartoon a cartoon of Mohammed, that’s an offense punishable by death. More recently a Christian woman, Asia Bibi, is currently waiting to die in Pakistan for breaking their blasphemy laws. Pakistani governor Salman Taseer was assasinated for urging to pardon Bibi. And the assassin was applauded as a Pakistani hero by Muslim clergy.
Can the American media talk about that?
ABC News reports Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who oversaw the burning of a Koran last month, said he did not feel responsible for the violent protest at a United Nations compound in Afghanistan today that left at least 11 dead. Instead, he said the violence proved his point.

"We wanted to raise awareness of this dangerous religion and dangerous element," Jones said. "I think [today's attack] proves that there is a radical element of Islam."
As for the 11 dead, which included seven U.N. staffers and guards, Jones told "Nightline" anchor Bill Weir, "We do not feel responsible, no."
The deaths followed a protest march in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif today against the Koran burning. Jones supervised while another pastor, Wayne Sapp, soaked the Koran in kerosene and burned it.
"We decided to put the Koran on trail," he told Weir. "I was the judge but I did not determine the verdict. I was just a type of referee so that people got their time to defend or condemn the Koran."

The dirty secret is Muslims are murdering Christians around the world and the world press doesn’t call it for what is.
Jones is right!
