Post a Comment On: Red Colored Glasses--The Point of View of a Red State American

Let me start by saying that the burning of the Qur'an that is being planned by some minister in Florida, while protected by the Constitution, is insensitive, ill-advised, inflammatory, and just plain stupid. The vast vast majority of Americans on both sides of the political spectrum are opposed to this act.

Therefore, if the "Muslim World" ignites over this, and the ranks of terrorist organizations increase as a direct result of this, these people already hate America and simply are looking for an excuse to engage in jihad against the infidel.

If a Muslim cleric decided to do this same thing in an arab country, would the vast majority of the Muslims in that country implore that Muslim cleric to exercise some restraint and to respect the beliefs of Christians? I seriously doubt it.
