(NECN) - Secretary of state Hillary Clinton is now weighing in on a Florida pastor's controversial plan to burn copies of the Quran on the anniversary of September 11th.

She's echoing remarks from general David Petraeus that it would endanger American troops abroad.

"I am heartened by the clear, unequivocal condemnation of this disrespectful, disgraceful act that has come from American religious leaders of all faiths, from evangelical Christians, to Jewish rabbis, as well as secular U.S. leaders and opinion makers."

Hillary Clinton comes down against free expression and for appeasement of our enemy.

No surprise there.

No being heartened when the Christians were being disrespected....either in Art here or with their heads in the Mideast...

Libs only get “heartened” if its in their playbook.

Heard a great viewer call on our local news...
“If this were atheists burning the Bible, it wouldn’t make the news”... As far as putting our troops in harm’s way - I Pray for the safety of our troops, but the same people condemning this didn’t say a word against burning American flags during the Vietnam war, giving aid, comfort and support to the people shooting at our soldiers then. This will be a wonderful chance for Muslims around the world to show their religion is one of tolerance and peace. Unfortunately no one in the media or our government is raising this challenge to them.

Where was she when there was a government-funded “art” exhibit of a crucifix in a jar of urine?

Why isn’t Terry Jones applying for government funds?

Instead of this “pastor” burning korans maybe he should go after the godhatesfags church, then both churches can get the publicity they love.

I noticed that there was not a peep over the brutal murders of Daniel Pearl and Margaret Hassan. Those were REAL acts of murder against real people.

Burning a book is SYMBOLIC.

The left has proven that it doesn’t care about REAL acts of murder by favored victim groups, but does care about SYMBOLIC acts of protest by normal people.

“If this were atheists burning the Bible, it wouldn’t make the news”...

Based on what I've seen, atheists have special entitlements.

"Weighing in", eh, Hillary? Don't you have more important "international" issues to attend to as Secretary of State?

Anyone else notice that Hillary is letting her hair grow again? Hair changes indicate she's preparing to run for president in 2012. If she adds a headband, I'll know for certain. =o)

Or Hillary can sponsor an ashtray-throwing contest. Or, in solidarity with Muslims, they can compete to see who can shout "F.J.B.!" the loudest...

The government should refrain from involving itself in religious matters. I’m a waffler on this issue, but if Phelps and his so-called religious thugs can protest at our soldiers’ funerals, then this church has the same rights. Disrespecting our dead soldiers or the Koran? Which is worse?

Bill’s Library and massage parlour in Arkansas is reportedly funded by MEGA Islamo-Dollars. No conflict there. and nobody cares.
