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.

I'm curious, is the existence of these terrorist groups dependent on how many times it's mentioned by the media? If the media doesn't mention every single day that terrorists exist (and they wanna destroy the West etc.), do the people forget they exist, or think they disappeared and are no longer a threat?

If the answer's "yes", then the problem lies with society, not the media.

I find his answer curious. It sounds like he thinks burning the Quran would have been a good thing because of the publicity. I hope that's not the case.

It's like burning a building down so that people remember that buildings can burn down. We're all aware of it, but why provoke it?
