Bingo! you hit the nail on the head. This story is not much of a story after all, just something hyped up by 24-hours news media.

Hopefully this is correct, and the gov'ts, law enforcement agencies, military etc. are overreacting to that media frenzy.  Because otherwise, if the terrorists are the ones who overreact to that frenzy, it could be bad. 

If someone gets offended by you burning your own book rather it's a bible, koran or the yellow pages there a 99.99% possibility they don't like you the start with.

Yes of course the terrorists already don't like us, but the fact remains that this could stir them up to do something about that hatred they otherwise wouldn't. 

And on a point that clip doesn't illustrate, this event, if it takes place, will make a wonderful propaganda point for them to use and create NEW hatred and NEW terrorists.  Not to say that the church doesn't have a right to do it, but that doesn't somehow negate the negative consequences.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
