I am staying out of the Koran Burning/Ground Zero Mosque Nonsense Debate

I am trying to stay out of this Koran burning nonsense.  But the angle I would take if I was to get involved is that the whole thing proves something important about Islamic fundamentalists.  They burn our flag all day every day and we do absolutely nothing.  IF they were to start burning Bibles, Baptists would not hijack an airliner and crash it into a big mosque in Tehran, but talk about burning their BOOK, and they start talking about KILLING people and rioting in the streets.

I think that shows what a religion of peace they are…

On another note.  The Koran burning folks have a RIGHT to do what they are doing, Just like the Ground Zero Mosque folks have a RIGHT to buy a building and make it a mosque…but BOTH are in very poor taste.

And yet, that is the beauty of our country… you have the right to make complete jackasses out of yourself as long as you do not break the law…and neither of these groups is doing that.

There.  There is my obligatory ground zero mosque and koran book burning post.

You managed to sum up what I've been trying to say for a week. BTW, they do burn books in Saudi and Afganistan (there's graditude for you) as well as Crosses in Saudi once a year and it's a big celebration, yet not a peep out of our media and no threats from the "radical right wing Christians". It's demonstrates how freedoms have responsibilities and just because you're free to do so, doesn't mean you should.

The "church" that plans to have a Koran burning is here in Florida so this story is right here in Florida (although it is in N.Florida which is many hours' drive away). While personally, I am against both the Mosque and the Koran burning, both groups have the constitutional rights on the surface to take their actions. What is unconstitutional is the NYC City/County councils bypassing zoning laws to allow an Islamic Mosque to be built in an area that is zoned to be a commercial district. That means that in normal circumstances, Churches already there can be "grandfathered in, however, no new construction of places of worship is allowed without special permits from the mayor and local government. That is why the NYC Council had to hold a special meeting and allow a special permit to be given for this mosque to be built. This branch of New York's government has made no such moves to grant Christian or Jewish organizations special permits to build "multicultural centers" or trophies celebrating great wartime triumphs in areas zoned to be places of commerce such as market places or banks. The actions of Benedict Bloomberg and the elected officials representing the voters of NYC are violating that insignificant part of the Constitution that was intended to keep states from favoring one religion or faith over another.
Personally, (from a purely political perspective), I hope those in favor of this idiot Mosque keep pushing it as it will further anger the voting public which BHO is already trying to subdue in his latest exercise in futility.
Note the disparity between the reaction of mainstream Christianity regarding this the proposed construction of this mosque over a place of mass murder in the name of "holy war" and the reaction in the middle east of a fringe "rightwing" Church burning a few Muslim holy boks. Given their respective reactions, which group's majority espouses true tolerance?
