Florida pastor practices own brand of terrorism

You’re probably tired of reading about it, and we’re tired of writing about it, but it’s important to know that the Florida pastor who was planning to hold a Quran burning on Saturday.

But what’s even more important to note is that this guy is not only the stupidest person to make it into national headlines recently, but he’s also the biggest hypocrite ever; he’s a terrorist.

And no, that’s not libel. Don’t believe us? We’ll explain:

“We have… been in contact with the Imam in New York City,” Reverend Terry Jones said. “I will be flying up there on Saturday to meet with the Imam at the Ground Zero Mosque. He has agreed to move the location. That, of course, cannot happen overnight, but he has agreed to do that.”

So Reverand Jones has forced the hand of the devout Muslims in New York City, who do not want their books burned.

“We have agreed to cancel our event on Saturday,” he said. And he’s agreed to do it because, apparently, the Imam has agreed to move the mosque somewhere else.

So how is Jones a terrorist? He didn’t hurt anyone, after all, but what defines terrorism, exactly?

Terrorism, by meaning, entails a calculated use or threat of violence against civilians in order to attain a goal that is political, religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear.

Maybe we’re misunderstanding the whole thing, but it seems that Jones coerced the Imam, whom he was protesting on the part of the Americans who were lost in t he 9/11 attacks, who were victims of terrorism, which is defined by…

Well, you get the idea. It’s a simple case of the pot calling the kettle black, but apparently Jones can’t see past his stupid mustache and realize his own failings.

Sounds like terrorism to us. How about you?
