Pastor Terry Jones to burn almost 3,000 Korans on 9/11 anniversary

Well here we go again. Pastor Terry Jones plans to burn one Koran for every person who died on 9/11/2001 in the terrorist attacks, which amounts to 2,998 Korans:

WASHINGTON TIMES – Pastor Terry Jones — who was sentenced to death by an Egyptian court in November for his ties to a film about Muslims that sparked Islamic riots — is planning a mass Koran burning to mark the 12th anniversary of Sept. 11.

A press release from his organization — Stand Up America! — states that on Sept. 11, 2013, group members and followers will hold an “International Burning of 2,998 Korans” to “send Islam a very clear warning.” The 2,998 reportedly represents the number who died during the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks.

“On September 11th, 2013, to remember those who were murdered by radical Islam, and to send Islam a very clear warning that they will not get their foothold in the American Constitution as they have done in Europe, we will be holding an International Burning,” he said, in the release. “The radical hand of Islam shows itself with violence against anyone who dares to stand up and speak the truth. … We will not be silent.”

So will Obama have Pastor Terry Jones arrested for this like he did the creator of the Muhammad video? Will he make sure the world knows that he had no part in it? Will he run ads in Pakistan?

Generally speaking this isn’t something I condone. But I admit, part of me wants to see this happen just to see how far our freedom of speech actually goes with this president.
