This is a total joke and non story.
Why are the actions of 50 nutters being taken as being of any significance let alone enough to be headline news on pretty much every channel this morning?
Absolutely not a non story when taken in the same context as a certain Danish cartoonistWhy are the actions of 50 nutters being taken as being of any significance let alone enough to be headline news on pretty much every channel this morning?
If the media weren't giving it the airtime who would know what 50 people of an extreme religious persuasion were up to?
Think about it, one bloke has managed to wind up millions of people into yet another over reacting frenzy. He has world leaders and celebrities condemning his actions and the worlds media going wild for a story so they can report the fallout for the next 1000years. To top it off he hasn't even done anything yet but seems to have the whole worlds b
ks in the palm of his hands..
I'm off to the local library.
'Should be' being the key here. Like it or not the press plays a pivotal role in todays mad world and the nutters play it like a fiddle. The fact it would be a non story but for the press is a bit like a tree falling in a wood not making a noise.

The thing is though, if the reaction wasn't so ridiculous then they wouldn't have a story to report. We all know how the media love to wip up a story and sod the repercussions, so long as they can get a scoop and make a few quid.
How about the nutters burning flags in the street and screaming kill all Americans etc etc etc all because of some nut job, surprise everybody for once in their life and turn the other cheek. The more they react, the bigger the target it makes them, why can't they work out this simple fact ?
Why is the answer to everything they don't like or agree with, is to denounce violence on all and sundry? For a religion that professes to be peaceful they have a funny way of showing it at times.
By the way I can't stand any sort of religion which goes for all faiths.

Terry Jones said he was calling off the event after the group behind a planned Islamic centre near Ground Zero in New York agreed to relocate it.
But the cultural centre's organisers said they had no plans to move it.
rather strange reasonBut the cultural centre's organisers said they had no plans to move it.
i think he didnt want to go ahead with it but doesnt want to make it look like he backed down too

I don't think he's backed down at all, he's merely used everybody for an ulterior motive, shown everybody up for what they are and played them well.If he doesn't get what he wants I suspect it will be back to game on.
If he doesn't burn the books there are already others standing in the wings who have said they will do it.

Wow. Flag burning and chest thumping. The next step is quite obviously genocide.Religion of peace... yuh sure.
Oh well at least he has seen sense.......for now.
Blame the media for giving it way too much coverage though. Should have been boxed off, ridiculous that it even got to the stage where Obama was getting asked questions about it. Surely he has bigger fish to fry than a guy who only attracts 50 people to his church on a good day.
Still it didn't stop American flags and effigies of the pastor getting burnt elsewhere.
