The crazy preacher Terry Jones now says his book burning is on hold. He might still burn the Quran. Mr. Jones is hanging on to the spotlight, and to the camera, extending his moment of fame for a little longer, probably because he enjoys the attention.
Jon Stewart of Comedy Central's The Daily Show, weighed in on the crazy preacher, on the preacher's silly-looking mustache, on the preacher's self-aggrandizement, and on the whole insane out break of Islamic phobia, and he took special satirical jabs at Republicans leaders and commentators who compare a nut, who wants to burn people's holy book, with American Muslims, who want to build a mosque. Mr. Stewart emphasized the inaneness of the comparison, saying, "a Christian is an extremist for burning the Quran, and a Muslim is an extremist for reading from it?" And better still he pokes fun at religious bigotry and intolerance, and at the ridiculous self righteousness of idiots who think they have the right to sit in judgment of some other person's religion.
