Quaran burning may backfire

As more and more national (and international) leaders speak out denouncing the plans by Terry Jones to burn the Quaran on 9/11, his efforts to gain publicity may succeed, but in a way he did not anticipate. Those who might otherwise see his demonstration as a sign that the United States is anti-muslim are instead seeing a country that rejects the radical, hateful acts of one of its own citizens, a  sociopath clueless that the response to his attempt to gain self-serving attention is instead showing that we respect all religions, we just don't tolerate all idiots.
