Cheap Publicity Stunt

The Rev. Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, FL continues to draw public attention to himself and his small church with his on-again, off-again threat to burn copies of the Quran in public, according to FOX News. We find ourselves in rare agreement with President Obama, who called it a "stunt." This gesture is unworthy of any American institution, and is more like what the Nazis or Spanish Inquisition would do.

The Kansas City Star reports that the Westboro Baptist Church burned a copy of the Quran in 2008 and nobody cared.
