Florida Pastor wants to burn Koran!
This is another example of the misuse of America’s First Amendment of the U.S constitution “Freedom of speech”, there is an excellent notation from my Political Science class notes “A constitution does not need to be written and written constitutions do not have to be followed”. This is very interesting because we're a free will species, but we’re easily persuaded when anything threatens our custom. It’s ironic that we the people make the most of the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that “you can speak, and express an opinion, and do it in a symbolic way by burning something, but you can't do it in a way that would incite violence".
Reverend Jones “an eye for an eye” to burn a Koran is another mechanical reaction brought on by anger, and fear. In my opinion as pastor the Florida reverend is sending out the wrong message to the Muslims, and the Islamic nation, his parishioners, and the American people. From my readings the Qur’an (Koran) is a sacred text to the Muslims. What possible gratification will be gotten from this action? It will create potential violence against U.S. interests, and military efforts around the world, mainly those in Afghanistan.
Even though, there were criticisms from the top U.S. general in Afghanistan, the White House and the State Department, as well as a host of religious leaders Rev. Terry Jones insisted he would go ahead with his plans. Reported by Mitch Stacy, 09.07.10, 10: Associated Press
Even though the reverend didn’t follow through with his threat of burning the Qur’an (Koran) his eruption demonstrated he is like what he preaches radicalism! And possibly Rev. Jones and his 50 followers at Dove Worlds Outreach center in Gainesville are an extremist group in disguise.
Does America really need any more conflict? Not!
