Religious zealot Terry Jones wanted to burn the Koran to commemorate the 9-11 attack. After much criticism and even Robert Gates talking ot the man, he backed down.

But then this true Christian decided to burn the Koran after all. He and his zealot church buddies decided to put the Koran on trial and burn it.

Here is an excerpt of the article:

"Sunday's event was presented as a trial of the book in which the Koran was found "guilty" and "executed."

The jury deliberated for about eight minutes. The book, which had been soaking for an hour in kerosene, was put in a metal tray in the center of the church, and Sapp started the fire with a barbecue lighter."

Now, there is a really fair trial, with the accused soaking in kerosene for one hour before the jury passed its veredict.

"Notably, nobody really cared this time. Only 30 people were in attendance, and the media didn't even notice until today."

The reporter who wrote that was unaware that people in other countries do pay attention. As a result of this pointless book burning, a protest erupted in Afghanistan. The protest started peaceful and turned violent when the protesters approached a UN compound and armed guards tried to stop them. The protesters quickly took the weapons from the guards and killed 8 UN workers inside.

Way to go Pastor Terry Jones. You are a real Christian hero. I suppose "We told you so" will mean nothing to him and he will sleep soundly knowing that his actions caused the deaths of 8 people.
