Qur'an burning

I do believe that the media (East and West) contributed to the climate that led to the violent protests in Afghanistan (there are those in Afghanistan who don't protest against foreign occupation but would violently protest and punish innocent for the act of one kook in Florida).  Arab media, in my opinion, gave way too much coverage of that kook and should have mentioned that he does not stand as a representative of a mainstream church, and Western media also gave it too much coverage because they crave any sensationalist story.  I mean, when KKK kooks feel like doing something outrageous they are ignored, as they should be.
