First off, this was the wrong reaction to the buring of the Quran obviously. However when the only way these people usually hear about these things is through the Taliban, it's no wonder they freak out. Also this was not ISLAM reacting, this was the people reacting.

Second, that stupid "pastor" in Florida KNEW this would happen and he still did it. Did he as a US citizen have the right to do it? Yes but does that mean he should? No. Just because the WBC has the right to protest outside funerals does that mean they should?

This is only going to help the Taliban's side of the propaganda war. That's where the US and coalition is losing is the media war. I read somewhere that bin Laden stated "90% of the battle" is through media. They aren't stupid when it comes to that stuff.

I just don't understand why people think one religion is "better" than the other. Don't people realize not one religion is exactly the same as it was when it was created? Things have been misinterpreted over the years especially through translation.

Both Christianity and Islam have their sordid pasts and even today, there are those who say they are Christian who do horrendous things in the name of Jesus or god. Bombing abortion clinics, the WBC, hate groups. Oh wait, "real" Christians don't claim them. Well "real" Muslims don't claim their fundamentalists either.

Again, this was the wrong reaction for those in Afghanistan, especially against innocent UN workers, but Terry Jones KNEW the result and should have shown restraint. He could have held his little "trial" without the end result burning the Quran. I do wonder why no news outlets reported it ('major' news) until after this? I think maybe they didn't want to give him the publicity...or they were too concerned with Libya. Or both.

Either way, this situation could have easily been avoided. What have Muslims done to Terry Jones specifically that he feels the need to constantly prod them?

BULL!

And if it were not for the policies of this website, I would have added the second half to it!

Islam did do this because Islam and its blind allegience is what caused this criminal action. It was Islam and the way these thugs were taught it that convinced them that when someone, anyone, claims Islam was insulted, offended, or whatever mild form of irritation gets their ire up, all morality and restraint is removed in the wrathful vengence the Islamic faithful is authorized to unleash on humanity!

We can do without your weak apologies for this religion that has many very significant problems within it, and for whom vastly too few who practice its faith are willing to adequately reform so that it may live in peace and solitude with the world.
