Who really cares. People can have an opinion on whether or not someone should do this. I wouldn’t burn one, I don’t care if he does it or not, it’s protected political speech in the US and I get what he’s trying to say. He wouldn’t be in danger from Christians if he burned Bibles or from Americans if he burned American flags. I worry that he will be in danger from Muslims if he burns Korans. That’s really the salient point here, and the real concern. And reason enough for us to think long and hard about the real issue. But no one wants to talk about that.

I suppose burning a book can be seen as protected political speech depending on the context, but mainly it’s just burning a book. That this is an international issue is astounding.

Btw most towns stop you from burning anything these days. Global warming.

I do, as do most people who know how to use question marks.

inadvertently your last point explains precisely why he needs to burn it

are we to live in fear of Islam?
