        The guy arranging the burning of the Quran this spring, have been working for RT and have a Russian wife. The play here is to agitate Turkey to make the NATO process more difficult

            it’s a really cheap way for Russia to try to destabilize surrounding countries, where there are efforts to get rid of Russia’s influence by joining NATO and so on… there is no religious or intellectual debate going on… it’s just someone trying to start a fight… luckily the Swedes are far too intelligent to fall for it…
