The whole anti-Muslim wave sweeping the low-information portion of our population is nothing more than a political ploy for those with no ideas or solutions to grab power. We aspire to be better than this, but we prove time and time again that we really aren't.

1. Jones needs cash to bail himself out of govt tax troubles. Koran burning seemed like a good idea...

2. Jones should be arrested for treasonous

activities. At the least for hate speech. We supposedly put arsonists in jail!

3. you support that for flag-burners as well?

[asjr]

4. I am just going to pretend

you didn't say that. Your smart ass is showing.

[DrDan]

5. guys like this are the price we pay for a society like ours

I don't like him.
I don't like those that support him.
I don't like what he is about to do.

But . . . . it is his constitutional right. Just as it is the constitutional right for those to build that mosque (or community center or whatever).

Just the price we have to pay for this open society.

6. Agreed, but what was with the flag-burning? Your

first reply made me feel I was being made fun of because I didn't include it.

[DrDan]

7. not at all - I don't make fun of anyone

the right to burn a flag is also protected - in the same vein (or is it "in the same vane"?)

Just pointing out that it works both ways.

8. Its not arson and its not a hate crime. Hate speech for the most part is protected in the US

Whether we like it or not, what the nut cases are doing is Constitutionally protected.

9. Well, the penny's dropped.

So Pastor Wingnut says he's canceling the book burning because the Imam in NY has agreed to move Park51. I had a feeling that this is where this was going from the start. Whether or not there is one kernel of truth behind this claim, it demonstrates that this has been the intent of this all along.

Not so fast, says Reuters!

11. Hopefully, that'll be the end of this manufactured

shitstorm-in-a-teacup.
