With his Koran-burning threats, a random preacher defiles a solemn day
THIS WHOLE STORY about the (now-cancelled) Koran burning that was being organized by this random, crazed so-called voice of God in Florida is simply shameful. That this so-called preacher, leader of a flock of a few dozen, could garner so much publicity and put in harm's way our soldiers serving overseas with this disgusting display, defies reason. And now he is in New York, this rural snake-oil salesman somehow transformed by the 24-news cycle into a self-ordained representative of the victims of 9/11. It is hard to think of a word more appropriate than "disgraceful" to describe this week-long media-inspired melodrama.
The issue is simple. You cannot commemorate 9/11 with a display of hate. It is disgusting, a bastardization of everything that America represents and everything we hold dear. Christians in this country would be appalled by a mass burning of Bibles. Does it happen? Sure, it probably does somewhere. But that doesn't make it right. And for any so-called Christians who support this wing-nut, here's a news flash: the whole eye-for-an-eye thing was supposed to have been replaced by "turn the other cheek" and "treat your neighbor as you would yourself" back about 2,000 or so years ago.

Don't like the First Amendment, huh? The Bible says a lot of things, sometimes contradictory and it sounds like this person calls him or herself a Christian. Seen those kind of people all the time. Pretentious.
