On July 12, 2010, Terry Jones, pastor of the Dove World Outreach Center, in Gainesville, Florida tweeted: "9/11/2010 Int Burn a Koran Day." The result of the tweet, subsequent interviews, and media reportage preceding September 11, 2010, was increased tension and fear of possible worldwide violent reactions that exacerbated already existing insecurities surrounding September 11. In this study, I utilize positioning theory as a tool, by examining the positions and discourses within the course of events, as a means to analyze how individuals create meaning for themselves and others according to what they perceive as their rights and duties. Positioning analysis is especially fitting for this case in that positions are dynamic and temporally limited to the social interactions and contexts of a particular conflict. As events unfold, it is possible to follow and assess, in depth, the divisive discourses and dynamic positions within a controversy or conflict. Potential intervention strategies can then be tailored to the dynamic positions and divisive discourses with an understanding that as events unfold, positions transform through social interactions and by means of their social meaning. For the President of the United States to feel compelled to publicly intervene through direct condemnation of a threat made by a pastor of a 50-member church in Florida, demonstrates how seemingly minor, local events can transform into a complex international controversy.
