While I agree with you in general, Afghans are going to have to evolve some to progress as a country.

Some of that process involves getting used to being offended.

If all it takes is one book burning to set some people off, that's a sign that various other things could do the same. So, again, more offenses might help us to determine where the problem areas of Afghanistan are in terms of general insanity.

Most Muslims are sane people who might get upset by Koran burnings, but the minority of them that flip out over it need to be identified and dealt with.

Absolutely no argument there. I have zero tolerance for Islamic fundamentalism with any bully edge or worse.

But note that Jones is also being cute with this: he's one of those hate filled Rapture types who would like to see this fight and knew damn well that by doing so this could help do it given he knew there are plenty eagre 'volunteers' within the billion-plus Muslim community who are as fanatical and violent-prone as he is.

I make a distinction between what Jones did as opposed to, say, what the cartoon drawers did. It's about intent. Jones' intent was to start this shit.

Like hate filled Muslim fanatics, he's a hate filled Christian one:

Dove World Outreach Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

They're the same insofar as hating gays (he and his church have protested with the Phelps' Westboro Baptist Church), etc, but they hate each other too. Equal opportunity haters to be frank, and that's all they wish to inflict on others.
