Update: the bigot is canceling his Quran burning. Apparently, he canceled with a twist.
Now it appears that extremists are using one creepy (and mentally unstable) American bigot to portray the entire country as anti-Islam. Some countries don't understand this freedom of speech thing we have going on here -- how on one hand, it's a freedom and serves us well, and on the other hand it's often abused and causes harm.
Interpol says if the bigot's Quran burning happens, we can expect an attack. I mostly blame the national media because there are many idiots living in many American cities and the media does not have to shine a spotlight upon every cockroach. Fair and balanced reporting would be nice. Tell us not of the cockroaches but of the decent people out there working for peace.
The international police agency Interpol warned governments worldwide on Thursday of an increased risk of terror attacks if the planned burning of the Quran by a Florida pastor goes ahead.The White House is considering calling on the bigot to stop the burning. If you ask me, the creepy mentally ill bigot should be quarantined for being a danger to society at this point:
"There is a strong likelihood that violent attacks on innocent people would follow," Interpol said in a statement, adding that it was acting partly on a request from Pakistan.
In the U.S., the State Department on Thursday warned Americans abroad of the "high" potential for violence. msnbc
