Preacher arrested,protest averted

Rev Jones was arrested while transporting 2, 998 Qurans soaked in kerosene which he intended to set ablaze.  He was charged with transporting fuel unsafely, an improperly registered trailer, and a misdemeanor weapons charge.  Jones is 62 and his associate pastor, 41, was also arrested. 

I understand his sentiments and I also understand his desire to protest the 9-1-1 attack ad I understand that the 2998 Qurans represented one for each death in the twin towers and I am fully aware he is within his constitutional  rights to protest and to burn the books.  There are far better ways  to protest 9-1-1.  To blame a culture and/or an entire religion for the acts of a few radicals is wrong.
