The estranged daughter of the Florida pastor bent on torching the Koran on the 9/11 anniversary begged her dad Friday to abandon the stunt.

"Papa don't do it," Emma Jones said she wrote in an e-mail to her father, the Rev. Terry Jones.

"I think his plan is so awful," she told the German magazine Der Spiegel. "I implored him to consider the consequences, not just for him but for the whole world."

"I don't know what's going through his head," she told the magazine. "I think he has gone crazy. But I am convinced that he thinks his plan is both correct and good."

4. The media has given him

A lot of power. By his history, he seems loves it. Someone needs to pull the rug out from under him and let him fall on his butt.

11. Absolutely true...

5. in ages past

if a father went as nuts as this guy, I think it was the duty of the children to make sure their parents didnt become a public nucience. Perhapse its time to bring back that tradition.
