I think he did. Now he has blood on his hands. Is he going to remain a clergyman or resign? Of course, the killing was indirect. The pastor had accomplices - talibans. How did he kill? At least 12 foreign UN workers were killed on Friday in an attack on the U.N. headquarters in the northern Afghan city of Mazar-i-Sharif by demonstrators protesting the burning of the Koran by Florida Pastors Terry Jones and Wayne Sapp.
Thousands of protesters angry over the Koran burning stormed the U.N. compound killing at least 12 people, including eight foreigners. Two were beheaded. News of the Florida desecration of the Muslim religious text has enraged the local Muslim community. Florida Pastor Terry Jones is a controversial evangelical that gained the worlds attention last fall after threatening to burn the Koran on 9/11. Several weeks ago Jones made good on his threat, by burning Islam's holy text, the Koran.
Jones, along with fellow Christian evangelical pastor Wayne Sapp, conducted a mock trial of the holy text in front of approximately 30 people. After the faux trial a "jury" found the Koran guilty, and the holy book was "executed." After being soaked in Kerosene, a copy of the Koan was burned. The story is burning up the Internet, and the relevant Twitter stream is on fire with comments both in support and against Terry Jones. While nobody seems happy that Jones burned the Koran, some are unwilling to hold Jones and his cohort Sapp responsible for the tragic violence in Afghanistan.

Oh, that peaceful religion of islam!
It's pretty amusing for most Americans to see our flag burnt by others. They do it so much its become a bit of a joke really. I recall when the Dutch cartoonists made the pictures of the pedophile prophet they burned their flag too, All I could think was "Hey! look! someone elses flag is flammable also!"

So, let me see if I have this correct... If I burn a Koran in America I can upset mudlim primitives half a world away AND kill secular people? This isn't a problem, this is an opportunity!
(now where is my camera and matches?)

I suppose it is less amusing to see fellow Americans killed around the world. The least amusing it is for those who are killed. So, let me see if I have this correct... If I burn a Koran in America I can upset mudlim primitives half a world away AND kill secular people? Exactly. Unfortunately, our world is constructed this way. You can sing beautiful songs about democracy and your civil rights, but when you burn a Koran a group of blinded primitives will turn on you. Is it really needed? The pastor perfectly realised how it was going to end, yet, he did it. Please, control those murderous instincts of yours.
