There is no difference between this pastor and Abu Hamza, that hook handed lunatic, both preach hate and have no place in decent society, a fact backed by the universal condemnation of his action by us religeous leaders of all religions. This pastor wants to make a statement against extremist islam. Well the net efffect of his actions is likely to inflame further hatred of the US and further radicalisation of muslims.
There is a real chance that this will put coalition lives at risk in Iraq and Afghanistan.
