3rdcoastislander: “Burning the koran will not solve anything, it is a waste of time and lighter fluid. Sure it may piss some muslims off but the ones that want us dead decided that a long time ago. Our time would be better spent educating everyone we know about how tyranny follows Sharia law where ever it plants itself.”
If nothing else, September 11 is going to roll around again. Some people are going to call it Worldwide Burn a Koran Day, and they will burn a bunch of Korans.
It is important when that happens, freedom-loving people assert that the people who are lawfully burning their Korans have that right. If we don’t do that, we are all worse off, because we’ve lost our freedom of speech.
It is important that we present a united front to those who would take away our rights.
Once we lose our freedom of speech, we’ve lost it permanently. There’s just no reason to give up our freedoms. People in Pakistan don’t like what we’re doing? So what. There is no reason for us to give up our hard won rights.
Don’t get me wrong, I am all for freedom of speech used in the right contexts. Burning Korans to me is not freedom of speech in the right context. It simply is hate speech on their religion. I know that many of them hate us just for the simple reason that we have these freedoms, but we must not stoop to their level of stupidity. Thus we will be playing right into their hands becoming a hateful people like them.
