Burning books is not a part of American tradition. We believe in free speech and the right to read what we wish.
And because we also believe in freedom of expression and private property rights, we can agree that what a fellow does on his private property with his own books bought with his own money is entirely up to him. Right? How does this guy burning his Korans affect your right to read what you wish?
I think you are confusing the right to speak out in public with the right of a person being able to destroy their own property (not that I agree with this dumbass). What? There are not other Korans for people to read? Apples and oranges.
