Koran-burning pastor Terry Jones struck back at Bill O’Reilly Tuesday after the conservative Fox News host called him an “insane Christian” who had “blood on his hands.”
The fringe Florida pastor said he bears no responsibility for the 24 deaths resulting from Afghan protests sparked by his March 20 desecration of the Islamic holy book in Florida.
“We reject Mr. O’Reilly’s statement. The responsibility should be laid upon the people who committed the acts,” he said in a statement to the Daily News.
“The recent events are an example of the violent nature of Islam. Just because a book was burned, they used this as an excuse to retaliate. We should not in any way condone their actions,” he said.
