Terry Jones' threats to burn the Quran have made me very thankful. But I say this because Jones' agenda, as bigoted and extreme as it may have been, revealed that untold numbers of Americans did not approve of his behavior.

As a follower of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad and an Ahmadi Muslim American, it
might be surprising to read that the Rev. Terry Jones' threats to burn
the Quran have made me very thankful. But I say this because Jones'
agenda, as bigoted and extreme as it may have been, revealed that untold
numbers of Americans did not approve of his behavior.
Despite the
divide we sometimes see between Muslims and Americans, Americans of all
and no faiths spoke against Jones' plans. The ugliness of Jones' plans
brought out the very best in America, and for this I must express my
sincerest thanks.
