A Tweet and A Whimper

Turns out now that the original Terry Jones "threat" to burn Korans began with a few tweets on Twitter according to this piece from the "On Faith" column yesterday:

"On the afternoon of July 12, the Rev. Terry Jones fired off a series of messages on Twitter, decrying Islam as fascism and President Obama's support for a new Kenyan constitution that could permit abortion and codify Islamic law. His final one for the day said this: 9/11/2010 Int Burn a Koran Day."

While State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley notes that, "this is not the first time something like this has happened," the media and the Muslim world remain rightfully upset with the entire episode, particularly in light of the continuing contentiousness over the proposed Islamic center at Ground Zero in New York City.

Sincere concerns of a "fringe" believer or publicity stunt?

You decide.

In the meantime, doveworld.org (Terry Jones' site) seems to be getting a face lift.
