U.S. pastor says he will put Mohammed 'on trial' next

[^_^ 5,021]

Despite clear evidence that his actions have led to multiple murders and widespread violence in the Middle East, controversial Florida pastor Terry Jones has vowed to step up his provocative campaign against Islam.

The radical pastor said that he was considering putting Islamic prophet Mohammed 'on trial' for his next 'day of judgement' publicity stunt.

...

He said in an interview: 'It is definitely a consideration to stage a trial on the life of Mohammed in the future.'

It would be nice if the media now had the collective resolve to completely ignore this man.

Awesome! Time for Muslims to get over themselves and join the modern world. Can we try Moses and Buddha next? Jesus had his trial and we all know what happened there.

I don't get why the media panders to that guy. Providing him with media exposure does little more than give him a platform for his views.

Given how inflammatory this sort of thing has been in the middle-east, I find the media involvement in promoting this guy (and people like him) wholly unsavory. They're in part responsible for what has happened.

You say this - but in Afghanistan at least, we're dealing with the population of a country that has been broken for decades and which hasn't had the chance to properly develop. How are people who live in an environment like that supposed to 'get over themselves and join the modern world'?

I got a buddy that teaches the future teachers in Kabul. You would be surprised how fast things are developing. Idiots are universal. Don't judge a country or a people just by them.

So when you said:

- this is not what you were doing?

Nope. Some people are just too sensitive. Fights start that way, you know.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

They do, but then why do people insist on feeding the fire?

Desensitivity training.

I hope they televise this trial. I want to see Nancy Grace as the prosecutor, and Judge Judy as the residing judge.

[Trumplestiltskin 5,791]

Desensitivity training.

I doubt it.

Afghanistan wasn't always "backwards" either.

One of my dad's cousin brothers worked in Afghanistan as a surgeon during the Najibullah days. He says it was really nice back then. Not 'backwards' at all.
