Bigots and Book Burners

Terry Jones is the book burning bigot who plans to set fire to copies of the Koran - Islam's holy book - on his church lawn this Saturday.

His aim - apart from drawing attention to himself - is to commemorate the terrorist attacks on 9/11.

But being vehemently anti-Islamic is not his only prejudice - he is also an nasty homophobe.

Apparently, TJ put a sign outside his church in Florida - to protest at the decision of a local gay politician to run for the post of mayor.

"No homo mayor", said the sign - which at least had the virtue of being short and to the point.

But when it was pointed out to the pastor that his involvement in a political campaign could violate the church's tax exempt status - he had a vision.

So, he quickly changed the sign to read: "No homo" - which only goes to show that while he is clearly barking mad - he's not completely stupid.

But Terry Jones has got what he wanted - radical Muslims hopping mad and threatening violence against western interests in Muslim countries - against people who have nothing to do with the pastor's plans.

Thank God I'm not religious - is all I can say.
