Florida pastor Terry Jones has called off his plans to burn copies of the Koran. This should not be news - the whole story shouldn't have been considered any more important than an "and finally" item on any news broadcast. A ridiculous amount of attention has been paid and publicity given to a man who presides over a congregation of no more than 50.
What's equally disappointing is that large numbers of people in the Muslim world are treating this village idiot and his tiny band of followers as the spokesman for the entire United States, if not the entire western world. Which is as daft as treating a handful of terrorists as the true representatives of all Muslims.
