Am just floored at that intellectual arugment.

Always nice to be surrounded by Menza types.!

****

So in other words you trust Obama more than the local people getting their potential asses shot off?

What as a mess this country has become.

Trust Lord 0bamao?

Who?

That Marxist bastyrd is irrelevant to this discussion. As “it” is irrelevant to much of anything, save “it’s” own scrawny arse.

If by “local”, you mean a few muslims meeting their moongod/73 or so virgins/Satan in the afterlife......I really don’t care.

The “local people” here is a Muslim police chief. The problem with “local” here is that Dearborn is a Muslim stronghold. The sole reason there is a threat of local violence is because Muslims are violent. It’s not the Koran burner’s fault. It’s Mohammed’s.

Muslims have to become civilized before they are allowed to live in a civilized nation. They will never be forced to adopt civilized mores as long as Islam is allowed to spread under the radar. Frankly, Koran burning is not my style. But people who force Muslims to reveal to the American public who and what they are, are doing other American’s a favor at great risk to themselves.

I realize that I'm late to this rodeo, but one can stipulate that Pastor Jones is a bigot, and still recognize that Dearborn crossed an important line in this case, and will, if challenged, lose.

There's good intel at Eugene Volokh's blog, and at Patterico.

I'll summarize: this is prior restraint, and won't pass muster under a litany of cases. The "community safety" fig leaf won't fly, either as it grants, in effect, a "heckler's veto" against Jones. The last straw to grasp is the "fighting words" doctrine which won't work as justification for restraint, either. Not legally, and certainly not ethically.

Bottom line is with the legal lines this clear, it will be very interesting to see how the courts treat this case. Hard to imagine that Islam is going to be granted special exceptions to the first amendment, at least right now.
