Well, we do have this little blurb in the Constitution called the 1st Amendment.
Honestly, this burning is kinda childish but once again it's making the muslims look like intolerant assholes.
They should respond with their weekly US flag burning, or is it daily now?
They rioted over the weekend about it. Now they're threatening terrorist attacks as reprisal for it.
This is a perfect example of the differences between the western and Muslim world. The West burns some books and the Muslims want to burn bodies.
I am not Christian, but if I saw someone discriminating against a Chirstian or burning the bible I would do my best to stop them and would be offended, no one should be discriminated against Christian, muslim or Jew.
Where is your outrage over the growing persecution of non-Muslims in Muslim countries? Where are your cries about hate-speech with regards to the Australian cleric who called for Geert Wilders beheading last week? Is that not hate-speech?
What's worse? Burning some books or calling for a man's beheading? That's where we should be directing our attention, not at some silly book burning that's in bad taste. And for what it's worth, most people in this country have denounced this book burning as it will do more harm than good.
