Conflict Question: Did Terry Jones Get What He Wanted When He Burned the Quran?

Terry Jones, the Florida pastor who threatened to burn a copy of the Quran on the anniversary of 9/11 last year, followed through with his threat last week. Anyone following the news knows what happened to 24 people in Afghanistan following the book burning. He reported that he had to take a stand and be a risk taker as were our founding fathers, the first Christians and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Did Terry Jones get what he wanted when he burned the Quran?  Let us know what you think about this.

  1. I am not sure what this guys wants to accomplish. So I do not know if he got what he wanted. One thing he got was radical Islam showing their true colors. BURN A BOOK-- KILL PEOPLE. WHICH IS HATE AND BIGOTRY?

  2. Okay, there are always more than two sides to a story. Always open to hearing more than one perspective.
