Hound, why do people not get this? You and I are in agreement. One simply cannot “create” a controversy and then disavow the consequences. Okay… the pastor has an AMERICAN “right” to burn the Qu-aran. But, that does not absolve him of the horrendous aftermath in regions not cognizant of our Constitutional protections.
We, the Great Satan, have a PR problem. The Islamic extremists depend on our “moral” indignation to feed the flames of their agenda. This pastor has done exactly THEIR bidding. He has created an event which they can exploit for their purposes. This IS NOT about our 1st Amendment rights. This is about enflaming the world about THEIR intolerance of insults to Islam. Their culture can neither deflect criticism nor defend their violent expression. This idiot pastor falls right into their trap. Our press is naïve about their exploitation.
