Church plans to burn the Quran on Sept. 11

Under the US Constitution, you have a right to free speech, but you do not have a right to be protected from the reaction to your free speech.Such a reaction may very well be the church being burnt to the ground by arsonists who took offense to the burning of the Koran on 9/11/10. It is not out of the imagination and many people including myself wouldn't find it surprising to say the least.

That being said, I do not respect or wish anyone that unfortunate circumstance. I don't condone criminal activity as a response to the exercise of free speech.

What I do condone is a mass burning of the Bible during the week of Christmas in front of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, FL. This would be a proper response and a reasonable exercise of freedom of speech.

I'm pretty sure arson is illegal, even if you're burning down a church for offending your religion.

And you would have to have quite a lack of faith in Muslims to think that they would respond to the burning of a book with the burning of a building, or indeed even the burning of another book.

Some Muslims did something stupid, some Christians are doing something much more stupid. That's no reason for Muslims to try and outdo Christians in stupidity.
