Is it? From what I’ve read, Gen. Petraeus was also asking that this pastor not burn the Koran, as he was concerned about the backlash against the military over there! Does this man (the pastor)really need to do this? I realize he has the right to ‘free speech’. However, does this burning of the Koran need to be done? I know that these people in Islam are always threatening Christians and Jews and others; they burn our Bibles and holy books all the time. Yet is it right to get even?
People need to think and consider the consequences in more ways than one. Just because people in this country have a right to free speech, they don’t have to do this! Along with ‘free speech’ comes responsibility. Our military and others are over there in a dangerous part of the world. Why make their jobs even harder?
Why make it harder by giving this pastor even more publicity, who would have heard of this guy had it not been for Petraeus’ remarks?
