The anti-Islamic pastor burns Korans every year on 9/11, inciting controversy and violence along the way. 'Why would you come to little Mulberry, that is peaceful and diverse?' one resident wonders

Residents of Mulberry, Fla., are fighting back after anti-Islamic pastor Dr. Terry Jones announced plans last month to burn 2,998 Korans in the town on Sept. 11.

Why would you come to little Mulberry, that is peaceful and diverse?" Suzanne Carter-Moore told WTSP. "We like it that way, and why come to our town and stir up the pot of hate and division?"

Since 2010, Jones has infamously burned Korans on Sept. 11 every year, one book for every victim of the 2001 terror attacks. After he burned Korans in 2010, riots broke out in Afghanistan

3. He's just creating a demand for more Korans to be printed.

Nothing like getting a dope slap from the invisible hand of the free market.

4. What Terry Jone wants is publicity

The best strategy is to ignore him - encourage your local paper to not publish anything about him. Also keep a close eye on his furniture "business" which he tries not to pay taxes on and requires church members to work in for free.
Ignore him - Worked for Gainesville his former hometown.

5. Isnt this a tremendous fire hazard?

burning 3000 Korans require a local fire permit, they could shut him down that way

6. Fucking idiot

we have to go through this again. We had a counter demonstration in Tacoma the last time this ass wipe this moron did this and it led to a wonderful meeting with those from the local Mosque.

7. The guy is a book burner.

All book burners are cut from the same cloth regardless of what they profess as their reason for it. Someone should tell this little Reich Reverend that real Americans don't burn anybody's books and don't much like those who do.

8. This is not only hateful and bigoted, it is also very irresponsible.

Christian communities all over the Mideast are under threat. Whenever incidents like these are made public, it is Christians in that part of the world who pay the price.

Every time this idiot does this, radicals in the Middle east go crazy and more innocent people get killed. Does the pastor believe God will one day say to him, "Great Going Terry!" "I'm glad you caused the deaths of innocent people in my name?"

It's the same question I'd ask the fundamentalist Islamists who kill innocent people and think little of it.

11. so true

why do people kill in the name of religious hatred?

[LanternWaste]

15. For the same reason they kill in the name of national hatred

For the same reason they kill in the name of national hatred, philosophical hatred, or racial hatred or financial hatred... it's a quick way to justify violence and greed.

12. The guy deserves to be in a zoo or a mental hospital

I just can't decide which would be better.

14. Stupid, but still free speech

Jones is a Moran of the highest order, but let him have his little hate orgy.

16. Jones is an ignorant asswipe.

Glad to see the community fighting back. I would also like to see his actions be ignored by the extremists in Afghanistan.

I don't doubt he does this to prove some kind of point that Islam is a religion of violence. Sadly all the focus goes to those who riot rather than the 1.5 billion who do not.
