Burn a Quran Day?

A church in Gainesville, Fl, the "Dove World Outreach Center" is hosting a “International Burn a Quran Day.”

Accroding to this article

Quote:
The group’s leader, Terry Jones, has self-published a book entitled “Islam is of the Devil” and his church sells trinkets such as coffee mugs and T-shirts promoting the book’s title.
In which he makes such claims as "all Muslims are unhappy.

Hum, stereotype much?

Now this is a church that has in the past joined with Westboro Baptist Church in protesting homosexuality. So personally I see them as a fringe of the far right leaning churches in the US. But is it just me or are these group gaining power, their voices getting louder or am I just seeing more press reports of this type of activity?

Your thoughts?
