The Radical Behind the Book Burning

The Radical Behind the Book Burning

Islam is evil, says the Rev. Terry Jones, who draws his worldview from his politics and theology — as well as an apparent thirst for publicity for his tiny, independent church in Gainesville, Fla. "Our burning of the Koran is to call the attention that something is wrong," Jones says of his plans to burn the sacred Muslim book to mark the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pengagon. "It is possibly time for us in a new way to stand up and confront terrorism." Critics have trouble reconciling his inflammatory plan with his church's name: Dove World Outreach Center.
