So, he won't hold the book burning if New York city removes the proposed mosque from the ground zero site. He won't hold the book burning unless the President of the United States calls him directly. It's off. It's on. He's gotten death threats. He has gotten support. It's clear that this man is holding the cards in this twisted story.
Can I ask you a question? When has burning a book ever been looked at in a favorable way throughout history?
I'm not saying that we should not honor those who lost their lives on that awful Tuesday in September. We should. I remember them all the time. I probably as sensitive to this subject as anyone, more so even. I have a problem with movies making money on the subject. I feel that little knot in my throat every time I see a picture of the twin towers.
Sorry, but burning the Koran is not an acceptable answer or gesture. This is equivilant to those in Muslim countries burning bibles or the American flag. It's looked down upon here. How is this any different?
This guy can burn his books. He has freedom to express his ideas and beliefs as he sees fit. I have a couple crappy books he can throw on the pile if he wants. But to make a fuss about this and hold an entire country hostage by his actions is unacceptable. And the people of Islam, who had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with 9/11 need to know that MOST of the American people do not agree with this one man's actions.
