Whether one agrees with mosques at ground zero or not, or whether one thinks burning Korans is distasteful or not, both issues involve freedom of expression, and freedom of worship. And here, to his credit, Michael Bloomberg is being morally straightforward and uncontrived.

I think burning the korans is pointless, but I'm wary of what Bloomberg is saying here. He's nothing if not political, and his position here is merely a way of saying "Burning korans is protected speech, just like building the mosque is a protected action" or whatever.

He is attempting to conflate two completely different ideas that seem closely related to the inattentive.

I'm not falling for his trap.

Bloomberg is definately a political hack - however the point he makes is a good one.
When Bibles are burned - or even our own flag - for that matter, it is freedom of speech.
But burn a Koran....... NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
