So you approve of the “protection” racket? Do you honestly think that if we never burn another Koran, they’ll want to hold hands and sing kumbayah with us?

Here’s the thing. We can assume the fetal position and huddle in the corner hoping we won’t “offend” anyone, or we can use our 1st Amendment rights, or at least the ones that are within the law.

Which would you choose?

Not that anyone here will listen, but symbolic gestures like burning a Koran only stir a hornets’ nest like the jihadists. It reinforces their stereotypes about us and helps them dupe the next generation of fools they recruit to their cause. Notice it is never the leaders that strap on the bombs but some foolish brainwashed sucker. People here have every right to burn books they own - that still doesn’t make it prudent. Please tell me - what positive result will come of it???
