I’ve seen the American flag set on fire so much in the Middle East it’s damn near a night time ritual on cable television. Heck, they have cigarette lighters in the likeness of the Twin Towers in Iran and the West Bank. I take it all for a protest against US policy, assume the guys doing this doltish stuff are idiots, and I go to bed.
Now, the table is turned. A wacky dude in our country wants to burn the Koran. Well, it is his right and his point is valid: He wants to prove that not everyone needs to live in fear of radical Islam. They aren’t god and not every single person is gonna join up with their brand of religion. Sounds legit. Lord knows the cartoon people and the South Park folks don’t have the balls to make their similar points.
Haven’t we been getting lectured about how the Muslims have the right to build the Mosque near Ground Zero? Seriously, if the wacky dude and some of his buds want to burn the Koran, so what? It’s a book. There are millions of copies of it. It’s a traditional form of protest. No one in this world has a right not to be offended. So, burn the Silly Koran in Florida. This is America!!
