Quran Fire Not Quite Out...Maybe
If the vacillating of the reverend Jones teaches us anything it is that his decision to put a hold on the Quran burning event scheduled for Saturday September 11 was not a sincere faith-reasoned judgment. Some believe he cooked the whole thing up with full intentions of using it as a bargaining chip to move the “Ground Zero Mosque.” However, his fervent and erratic statements do not support this theory. Who’s to say what will happen only two short days from now, but there seems to be no genuine change of heart and recognition of error. While a graceful exit would still be possible if the church stated that they were simply driven forward with zealous patriotism and faith and took it too far, I do not believe anyone thinks this will happen. The church simply does not regret its actions and regardless of the impending outcome, their ideas have entered the minds of America and there are always people willing to take up where they left off...if they do leave off, that is.
