What If The Media Just Ignored Koran Burner?

In Thursday's Orlando Sentinel, columnist Mike Thomas writes  "The Rev. Terry Jones was a sad-sack preacher, lucky to draw 50 people to his steel-shed house of prayer, when the words "burn" and "Quran" had an unfortunate collision in his limited brain.  That he has become an international phenomenon as a result must be a sign the apocalypse is near.

However, Thomas states as much as everyone is blaming him, this is far from his fault. He's just a prop.

Thomas writes:

"I ask you: If a sad little man burns some Qurans in the woods, and the media aren't there to film it, is it news?

Of course not.

We created the Rev. Terry Jones from dust. And in two weeks, to dust he shall return. Then we'll move on to the guys who plan to run over the Quran at their monster-truck pull. Whatever it takes to keep your attention.

It is all so truly tragical.

We could help head off such future nonsense if we folded up the circus tent and left Jones alone with his blowtorch and 30 followers."
