Question: Which group of fundamentalist radicals scare you most — America’s (Rev. Terry Jones) or the ones above?
Rev. Terry Jones poses for a photo at the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Fla., recently. Jones vowed to go ahead with plans to burn copies of the Quran to protest the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks despite warnings from the White House and the top U.S. general in Afghanistan that doing so would endanger American troops overseas.
