Terry Jones is a straight up asshole. He makes a show of his "faith" so you have to know he's a fuckin' phony right off. Anyway, he sets up his little Burn-a-Quran day and then sits back and collects the accolades and (most important) the dollars that start flowing in as soon as certain other straight up assholes react in a totally and predictably asshole-ish way to his being an asshole.
Here's a question: why is this news to anybody?
Make no mistake; there are no good guys in this. The Muslimist assholes who react violently are no better than the Christianist assholes who deliberately foment Muslim rage; and anybody who sits around worrying about the politics instead of standing up and shouting a full-on gut-level condemnation of the whole sorry mess is an asshole too.
Trying to think of another play on the word "asshole," but we think you covered the playground with it to the full satisfaction of those of us who appreciate full disclosure of assholes.

Sometimes, ya just gotta keep repeating the central thought, and hope it sinks in.
