Politics: Pastor Terry Jones: Crazy Koran-burning dude gets death threats

  • I have no experience with it whatsoever. I only know what the Bible says.
  • Pastor Terry Jones • Regarding his experience with the Koran, which he plans to burn next month, on September 11th. As you might imagine, such an action is extremely controversial, and many people do not like Jones’ plan, which he’s talked about with 150 different media outlets. He’s gotten death threats. “We have to be careful,” he says. “The overall response has been much greater than we expected.” Jones is based out of Florida, which has been a hotbed of anti-Islamic activity of late, most notably a pipe bomb attack at a mosque back in May. source

U.S.: Nadya Suleman’s publicist gets death threats, quits

  • They’d put me in the wood chipper and throw me in the bottom of the ocean and hope I die. We’ve gotten her through the worst part of it and now they are putting their venom and anger toward us.
  • Joann Killeen • Former publicist for Nadya Suleman, the much-discussed mother of the octuplets, on the e-mails she got from people angry that Suleman has a publicist. Well, she doesn’t have a publicist anymore. But now she has an agent instead, and that agent will probably score her a book deal. • source
