Regarding the pastor and his 50 followers in Florida. Don't give the guy the feedback he craves. Don't publicize his event. And don't burn a Bible.
Think of your audience. Who are you trying to reach? David Petraeus says burning a Quran will put the troops in jeapordy from angry Muslims.
YOUR AUDIENCE IS MUSLIMS.
What sort of visual, symbolic language do Muslims understand?
One thing they understand, a terrible insult in their culture, is to show someone the bottom of your shoe.
Don't burn a Bible; show a surrogate Terry Jones the bottom of your shoe.
What you need:
- A giant puppet resembling Terry Jones
- Shoes and people willing to fling them at the puppet.
- A videocamera
Make the tape of the shoe attack on the giant puppet, and release it to the world.
