The jackass doesn't realize that this makes things worse for peace and U.S. soldiers and citizens overseas.  Or, maybe he DOES realize it and is trying to start a war between the U.S. and the "Islamic world"... which I know is one of the dominionist goals (one that is so horrible and wrong that it is stomach-turning).  In any case, everyone said that publicly burning the Koran would be harmful, and it's started, and our servicepeople overseas are going to pay the price.  Whether or not Terry knew, this reinforces the aggressive, violent, BULLYING stereotype that a lot of Muslims seem to have of Christians, and it's going to make things harder for the real Christians who actually read and try to follow Jesus' teachings.

The jackass claims to follow Christ Jesus, but one of Jesus' names/titles is The Prince of Peace, and this sort of thing goes totally against that (appropriate) designation.  

These people (dominionists and many of the fundamentalists) more and more seem to be anti-Christians, in that they violate just about everything that the One they claim to follow taught and did.

I was just struck with a thought - in today's news there was also discussion on how fundamentalist Muslims are gaining power in their countries (specifically Egypt), and how they're emphasizing Sharia law and express similar hostility towards Christians as we hear from the fundamentalist/dominionist types here.  The similarities are striking.  The non-fundamentalists of all religions need to get together and work together to stop the real problem: fundamentalism and that which makes life tough so that people are attracted to that form of thinking, that is, the exploitation of people by the rich/elites.
