Pastor Terry Jones has a unique talent for stirring up chaos with the grace of a bull in a china shop. His call to “hold Islam accountable” for the actions of a few is about as logical as blaming all Christians for the antics of this one-man circus. Let’s be real: blaming an entire faith for the actions of extremists is like blaming all of humanity for Terry’s questionable life choices. Both groups deserve better representatives.

While Jones fans the flames of bigotry, those who respond with violence play right into the narrative he spins. In the end, we’re left with a comedy of errors where the punchline is always the same—bigots will be bigots, and we’re all just here for the cringe-worthy show.
