You would have done well in Hitler’s Germany.

Do you want to rethink that comment?

Not really. The Nazis used trumped-up charges to quell dissent.

I am from the Detroit area and am very familiar with Dearborn. East Deaborn is a third world pit. West Dearborn is decent.

This is the second time within a year that Dearborn has deprived U.S. citizens of their First Amendment rights to placate the Muslim community. The government has established Muslims as a “protected class.” They have no problem with offending Christians and even using NEA funding to do so.

While I am not wild about the pastor burning the Koran, there would have been no government intervention if an imam were burning a Bible (and I realize the outcome would be different).

I don't want the City of Dearborn, a kangaroo court or you deciding when the First Amendment rights mean something and when they don't.

I loathe flagburners, but obviously the courts have ruled it is protected speech. I really don't view burning a Koran or a Bible any differently.

Obviously you view the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as situational - they are to be applied only when you agree with them. I don't.

Why? Are you going to sic your little terrorist friends on him?

I think you belong somewhere else. I’m sure you’d fit in nicely at DU.
