The best part (I'm using "best" loosely here), is that Jones didn't just burn the book this time - his "church" put the Quran "on trial", and found it guilty of crimes against humanity. The book. THE BOOK. On trial. I'm losing my mind here and sputtering out two-word sentences of total headdesk. Jones was quoted as saying "...we put together a trial. In that sense, we were not going out just to burn the Koran, although the result was that it was burned. If you are found guilty of a crime in the US, you do not get to go home. There has to be a punishment."
Because apparently in the US court system, we also try religious texts. And the punishment for the verdict of "didn't like it" is "BURN IT TO DEATH!" That's not symbolic and inflammatory at all. *headdesk*
