400 Death Threats’ Follow Koran-Burning Preacher To OC

[PortDawg]

SANTA ANA (CBS) — A Florida pastor blamed for inciting unrest in Afghanistan by burning a Koran was in town on Wednesday to appear on Truth TV, an Arabic language Christian network.

Rev. Terry Jones told reporters he had no plans to burn any more Korans upon his arrival at LAX on Tuesday night, but that he may hold another mock trial for the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

“We’ve had about 400 death threats,” he said, adding that Hezbolla, the Shia Muslim militant group, had put out a “reward out on my head for $2.4 million.”

Santa Ana police say they were warned that Jones was in town.

It was unclear if he has scheduled any public appearances.

Jones of Gainesville, Fla., said he planned to go to Dearborn, Mich., for a demonstration outside the nation’s largest mosque.

He has been widely criticized for burning a Koran following a mock trial March 20 at his church, saying he did it to draw attention to radical Islam.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai condemned the act. About 20 people, including seven United Nations workers, have been killed in rioting in Afghanistan.

Muslims be crazy. The Christian/Western World have continued to evolve. Islam is STILL stuck in the 15th century.

So at the threat of a bunch of idiots goin on homicidal rampages...we're supposed do exactly as they say?

Remember back in school...the crazy kids that would go crazy and blow up and make a scene every time they were provoked...those were the kids that got provoked and picked on.

So he pushed the muslims buttons and they proved once again they're nothing buch a bunch of 3rd world savages. What a surprise.

So 400 out of 1.5 billion send death threats and that's statistically representative of them as a whole?

Publicity and fame. I suspect in a few weeks he will have his own reality show, go on a book tour and surpass Donald Trump in the presidential polls.

Right now, Charlie Sheen could probably poll in the top five.
