When I first heard of this idea (burning Korans) I thought it was wrong.

Me too. After reading hundreds of thoughtful posts by intelligent people for and against the burning, I finally concluded that burning Korans (on this date, in particular) is A) civil and B) a right and peaceful way to stand strong against the invasion of Islam (and its inevitable antipathy to freedom and liberty as our Founders intended) in America.

I also think that objecting to burning Korans on the grounds that it is "uncivil" or "beneath us" is based on gratifying an egocentic vanity. Sometimes one has to be uncivil and unpleasant to accomplish what is right and good. There are dirty jobs that SOMEBODY has to do.

I disagree, because I also believe that a Muslim or a Jew burning a Bible would be uncivil, and I believe that people who burn the flag are abusing their right to free speech.

I still defend their right to do either of those things, and would oppose the Commander-In-Chief threatening them in order to get them to stop. But I would also attack them for their actions, as a citizen it is my right.
