If I propose something like "International Burn the Bible Day, starts December 25 @ 00:00 AM" I can assure you I'll get at least a couple of death threats. Heck, John Lennon was killed by a Christian guy because he insulted Christianity in an interview (and I don't remember the press calling that guy a Christian terrorist). I don't really think anyone's surprised that this pastor guy got death threats. When you insult a religion (any religion), especially one where most of it's beleivers live in countries that might as well be in the Middle Ages from a cultural POV, the fact that peopel make threats on your life shouldn't be a surprise. |
The problem is, the same people who made death threats, want to kill us anyway. Before this man threatened to burn book, they had been left alone by the media. Now we are talking about them again.
In my eyes, the most dangerous thing we can do as a country, is forget they exist. he did a good job of making sure that doesn't happen.
