Pressure rises on pastor who wants to burn Quran

Quote from nutmeg:

The government turned up the pressure Tuesday on the head of a small Florida church who plans to burn copies of the Quran on Sept. 11, warning him that doing so could endanger U.S. troops and Americans everywhere.

The plot thickens.

Sure, he has the right to publicly burn a Quran, but he should have the common sense to refrain from doing so.

Funny that the left doesn't see this point with the mosque.

The Left has an agenda. Sees only what it wants to. Not interested in truth, common sense, sensibilities, etc. "The end justifies the means".

Indeed. And that is why this episode is doing such a good job at exposing what frauds they are on this whole religious freedom schtick they're stuck on.

Exactly. It's an act that accomplishes absolutely nothing.

Sure, he has the right to publicly burn a Quran, but he should have the common sense to refrain from doing so.



What would that accomplish?
Seven or eight years ago I probably would have been cheering this guy on, I admit. With maturity comes a recognition of the futility of these types of senseless provocations.

But why does the media need to make such a big uproar and give him his 15 minutes.

There are so many critical issues that the Media needs to tackle and make the public aware of. Why not focus on those matters? and just ignore the guy who wants to burn the koran, who cares its his choice.

A Job for George W. Bush
America needs a president with the moral authority to denounce Koran-burning.
