Politics: Obama calls Koran burning an al-Qaeda “recruitment bonanza”
- You could have serious violence in places like Pakistan or Afghanistan. This could increase the recruitment of individuals who’d be willing to blow themselves up in American cities or European cities.
- Barack “not a cat” Obama • Describing why Pastor Terry Jones’ whole “Burn a Koran Day” is a “recruitment bonanza” for al-Qaeda. Let’s face it. It’s the kind of thing that will piss off tons of people and might push a few towards extremism. Happy, Terry? You got the president to talk about you, and unlike every other time Obama brings up culture-clash issues, he didn’t sound like a smart guy making a stumble. source
