Terry Jones is an asshole. I cannot comprehend why anyone would think that his actions help any sort of debate. It is a crude attempt by him and his followers to feel better about their style of dialogue and beliefs. It is religion at its worst. Just book burning alone puts you in a crowd one should be embarrassed at the very least to be with.

That being said, he is not accountable for someone killing others, even if it was on your own block. Everyone is accountable for his own actions. And while Terry Jones's actions are deplorable, he did not kill anyone and he did not break the law. It's not a crime to be an asshole in the U.S. But, while he did not break the law, he deserves every bit of bad press he is getting.
