Once again, a fanatical religious zealot, with a warped sense of self righteous indignation, is trying to do something without thinking it through. Just who does he think he is? Whether or not he believes others are worshiping the way he thinks they should, is something he needs to deal with in a civilized, respectful manner, if at all. I can just imagine that if believers in the Quran were to burn Bibles, he would be the first to be outraged. Come on...can't we just all get along?

(MULBERRY, Fla.) — Law enforcement arrested a Florida pastor Wednesday as he drove to a park to light nearly 3,000 Qurans on fire to protest the 2001 terrorist attacks.
Polk County sheriff’s deputies arrested Pastor Terry Jones, 61, and his associate pastor, Marvin Sapp Jr., 34, on felony charges as he drove a pickup truck towing a large barbecue-style grill filled with Qurans soaked in kerosene. He had said he was heading to a nearby park to burn 2,998 Qurans — one for every victim of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Sheriff’s officials said they would hold a news conference later Wednesday to discuss specific charges.
Mulberry’s mayor, along with area elected officials, a sheriff’s deputy and several Polk County residents have talked about the need to express love and tolerance for all faiths on Sept. 11.
