Who are they really hurting?

Hello blog, it's come to a lot of our attention that on September 11th there will be an international burn the Koran day. This idea came from a Florida church and quickly has spread to the Middle East. Anger has already escalated in the Middle East. Petraeus himself also said this would put soldiers in danger if they saw the Koran being burned.


This all of course is in response to the Ground Zero Mosque. While personally I'm not going to lie and say how offending it would be to burn the Qur'an, I'm not Muslim, I wouldn't know. It is interesting to me however that to these people who are "offended" by the Mosque, who wish to participate in this burning of the Koran, know full well Muslims have the right to build the Mosque. HOWEVER, in your response with the burnings, you do realize what YOU plan to do is banned?

In some states you can make a fire in your yard sure, but you can’t throw books into the fire or other flammable things. Already the fire department plans to be at this event to put out any of the Korans being burned. Fascinating, to get even with something perfectly legal you do something illegal, congratulations.

Getting back to the sensitivity of the Mosque being at Ground Zero, the first amendment does not also come with sensitivity connotation rules. You can’t just say well that might hurt feelings we can’t do that. THAT’S THE POINT of the first amendment where unpopular things are allowed even if the majority sounds them out. They have the right too just like we all have the right to criticize it like you already have. Just like I have the right to criticize the criticizers for being fear mongers.

If they own the land they can do whatever they want to. Hell, they can even openly say this Mosque is to honor those who died the attacks on 9/11. That's there right to do that if they own the land. We all seem to have forgotten the purpose of the 9/11 attacks. To strip us of our freedoms, to take away our liberty and freedom! Look at what's transpiring in Manhattan. There accomplishing what they set out to do to us on that day.

If you burn the Koran, you don’t like the Mosque, so obviously you mourned at 9/11, like Petraeus warned the REAL radicals in the Middle East are going to see that. Now you tell me what could happen in retaliation. Don’t forget ladies and gentlemen, while you’re fighting moderate American Muslims in our own backyard, the true radicals see the hatred of Islam and the burning of there Koran. It becomes a propaganda field day and they will show the few middle easterners who want democracy, who want freedom, and are only moderate muslins, and you give them that and you pass on a whole new line of recruits of hatred towards the USA.

Good luck
