The reason not to burn Qurans is that it's unkind -- not to jihadists, but to Muslims who mean us no harm. The same goes for building a mosque at ground zero -- in both cases, it's not a question of anyone's "rights," it's just a nasty thing to do.
I say that Pastor Jones should cut a deal with the Imam. He won’t burn the Koran, if the Imam won’t build the mosque on Ground Zero.
Oh what, Imam? Then you don’t think too much of your holy book.
IOW, Jones should call the Imam on it. I’ll be very disappointed if he doesn’t.
I disagree. Sorry Sarah, can’t go along with you on this one.
Especially since I just glimpsed CBS news showing footage of KKK rallies in relation to American’s rights to assemble and protest. Katie looked VERY concerned. That tells me I’m right.
This is a dumb action by the pastor.
Nothing good will come of this.
Barbour, Coulter, Palin, and the rest are correct.
But I understand Sarah's position, and as a politician it is entirely expected, as it would be crazy if she would foment and encourage any kind of violence.
I think rudeness is unnecessary whatever the culture. It’s rude to burn another religion’s religious articles. I wouldn’t want it done to mine. I don’t like when people disrespect my flag either so I don’t disrespect anyone else’s.
Building the mosque at Ground Zero is beyond rude; it’s cruel. That spot is a gravesite and should not be used for anything but what it was at the time of the massacre.
