Do you consider Burning of the Koran to be "Un-American? "
Rev. Terry Jones says he will burn Koran on Saturday, anniversary of 9/11. Gen David Petraeus says it will endanger US Troops in Afghanistan. US State Department says it is "Un-American." Yet many consider burning American Flag as a "Political Statement" protected by Freedom of Speech.
I think desecrating anyone's religious book, symbol, or national flag is provocative, insulting, and likely to instigate violence and retaliation. I oppose burning of the Koran, but this clearly is protected political speech under the First Amendment. What do you think?
