So The United States of America is no longer governed by laws but rather by the “threat of violence?”
The Pastor did not cause any riots.
Why not just burn the Constitution.
Especially that part about Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion.
It’s quite clear many idiot leftists would rather waive the white flag and surrender to Dhimmitude than insult a raghead.
Yo yo yo don’t be burning that Muslim holy book
I’m impressed with Jones’s nerve.
The hippies and commies have been burning the American flag for decades and it was ruled in courts to be a form of 1st Amendment free speech
The ACLU will be there to fight for freedom and justice just like they did to allow NAZI’s to have a parade in a jewis town years ago.
Besides I say let the pastor march, and burn if he so desires.
It’s okay with the left to burn the American flag.
The DA is surely grandstanding; there is plenty of case law saying that fear of violence cannot trump free speech rights. This will go nowhere.

“Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said the threat of violence was too great to allow Terry Jones to hold the planned gathering on Friday near the Islamic Center of America —”...
Worthy is just too lazy to risk a violent reaction. She does not want to have to deal with a negative outcome which as far as I know, has not been guaranteed unless Worthy herself is saying that it’s a foregone conclusion.
No bias there.
After 9-11 Muslims in Dearbornistan gathered in the streets and rejoiced as shop keepers handed out sweets. In Dearboristan high School classes emptied as cheering delirious students romped about the halls.
If the reverend would have had a Koran burning a major riot would surely have followed. This would have finally lifted the veil, so to speak, on this home grown center of Islamic fanaticism and hatred.
One would expect that the USSC case regarding the Westboro Baptist Church’s right to their “protests” would more than cover what this preacher is doing.
He’s one gutsy SOB.
I guess when people burned the American flag we should have shot them, beheaded them, and murdered innocent people, then they wouldn’t dare do it again as we would have government protection...just like the insane mooselimbs do.
Can you say “Prior Restraint?”
I knew you could.
According to the Prosecutor, we may not speak the truth about Islam because offended Islamists will riot.
Someone needs to get busy arresting Islamists rather than burning the First Amendment.
Do these people ever realize for a moment that by playing fearful of the Islamic threats your just empowering theses terrorist?
Islamic Terrorist are like maltreated children, they pout and scream thinking it will get you to behave the way they want. If you follow thru with their demands you find yourself becoming their puppet before long. meanwhile they get the positive reinforcement to their pouting and screaming.
Only the thing we are positively reinforcing is their terrorist activities. I say burn Korans and burn them openly. Let the Muslims complain but at the end of the day they burn our bibles and kill our people with near impunity.
The ACLU came in to protect the KKK’s right to march in Skokie, IL, a very heavily Jewish populated suburb of Chicago. This will go nowhere.
