AMEN! Many well-meaning people, Palin included, think that offending Islam for the mere sake of offending it (which in itself is not the reason -- the reason for offending it is to chase its dangerous presence from our midst) is unChristian. I think an argument can be made that in fact, Christians have a duty to stand post and ostracize it. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you" and "Love your fellow man" are vital instructions, the most important the Bible has to offer. Ostracizing Islam, offending it, is well within keeping of those commandments. I would rather Islam merely burn symbols and engage in peaceful, bloodless rejection of Christianity in its own societies, and that's all that's going on here. So by burning a Koran, I AM doing unto Islam what I would have it do unto me: keeping it symbolic and peaceful.
Christians turning the other cheek to Islam need look no further than Lebanon, Turkey, Bosnia, etc etc to see what happens
England, France and parts of Germany are starting to wake up but it may be too late.
