The media has become obsessed with this obvious attention whore of a pastor. The man leads barely a congregation of 50 people but he is being descended upon by not only national press but international press as well. The simple reason for this is the media and America in general love some crazy. That is why Britney and Lindsey lead the news and Jersey Shore is number one on TV. But the difference here is that by paying attention to this man we may be risking the lives of our soldiers and innocent people overseas. Terry Jones is threatening to burn the Koran which has raised fears that radicals overseas will become enraged and attack our forces. This is why the media should absolutely ignore him and quit giving him the only thing he was looking for in the first place:attention. We even hurt the Westboro Baptist Church's feelings because they said that they have burned the Koran before and no one paid attention to them! We will always have crazy people but to elevate them to national attention only seems to legitimize their beliefs and thats not what we should be doing
