Some church in Florida wants to burn Korans on 9/11. I am at a loss as to how this isn’t a repugnant and stupid idea. Public book-burning, by its very nature, is offensive no matter what the book. Burning the Koran is idiotic on every level, even for people who think Islam is to blame for terrorism.
I never said the government should ban this nut from burning Korans. Indeed, my position on this is pretty much identical to my position on the Ground Zero mosque: there’s a right to do it, but that doesn’t make it a good or smart idea.
Because he here suggests that the Islamic Community Center is somehow or another equivalent to burning books. The controversy over the ICC is ginned by a bunch of geographically ignorant know nothings who want, well, I really do not know what they want but, like Professor Wagstaff, whatever it is, I'm against it.
