Obama is in violation of his oath of office. His job is to protect the U.S. Constitution and to faithfully execute the law. A responsibility to fight negative stereotypes of Muslims is not part of the president's job description.

The Koran burning protest is none of the federal government's business. The best thing Obama could have done is educate the ummah about the First Amendment while saying he personally disagrees with the Koran burning and how the American system works to prevent religious bloodshed--even when religions offend one another. The same goes for Gen. Petraeus.

The United States government in no way condones such acts of disrespect against the religion of Islam, and is deeply concerned about deliberate attempts to offend members of religious or ethnic groups.

When did this government ever step up to speak out against attacks on Christianity?

THIS was funded by the US taxpayer:

It offends me that Saudi Arabia has zero tolerance for all other religious faiths and texts.

Church bent on burning Koran

http://www.iol.co.za/index.php?set_id=1&click_id=22&art_id=nw20100907182551238C410867

“We wanted to send a very clear message to them that we are not interested in their Sharia law.”

This is a real slap in the face to Muslims who “are not interested in their Sharia law.”

If Petraeus says don’t do it, don’t do it.

People can be offensive to other religions. I have seen cases in which a crucifix was placed in urine as a piece of art, or a Bible burned numerous times. People have a right to do these things, so long as they don’t get someone, or cause serious property damage. As for everyone in the U.S., I would say that plenty of people would write on their blogs about how burning a Qu’ran was a good or a bad thing. IMO, if someone bought the Koran just to burn it, they wasted money, why not just write on a blog an argument against Islam?

As for liberals, I never understood how they spend their time trying to look good to them when the very beliefs they espouse (i.e. gay rights, secularism, etc.) are the elements which are among the most offensive to Islam, and many times more so to the openly radical amongst Islam.
