they knew because he posted the burning on his website.. and added muslim subtext just to make sure they saw it..
story linkBut when Jones announced in January that he was going to “put the Koran on trial,” he said he didn’t hear a single complaint. On March 20, Jones dressed in a judicial robe and ordered a copy of the Koran to be torched in a portable fire pit.
“It’s like people forgot about us,” Jones said Saturday. “But we kept doing what we do.”
seems like for once, our press might have done the 'responsible thing' and ignored him.. of course, he wasn't having any of that..
But in the end, his desire to shed light on what he calls a “dangerous book” won out. The Koran was burned in a spectacle streamed live on the Internet. To reach out to Muslims overseas, Jones included Arabic subtitles.
“For some of them,” he said, “it could be an awakening.”
Although there was initially little talk of the burning in the United States, the death threats poured in, Jones said. Last Monday, he said, the FBI told him over the telephone that a $2.4 million bounty had been placed on his head in Pakistan.
now, why can't he be held responsible for those deaths? Had he yelled 'fire' in a crowed room and 15 people were trampled, he could be held responsible.. right?
is it because of the 'religious' part.. the 1st Amendment part.. or that they were foreigners on foreign soil part?
either way.. I don't really want my tax money being shuttled to his gov't security/threat investigation detail..
reap what you sow bitch.
