Curious the opinions on this: [http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/09/07/florida.quran.burning/index.html?iref=allsearch](http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/09/07/florida.quran.burning/index.html?iref=allsearch) > **[State Department Calls Plan to Burn Korans 'Un-American'](http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2010/09/07/pastor-says-church-deterred-petraeus-warning-koran-burning.html?test=latestnews)** > > The State Department described as un-American plans by a controversial church to burn Korans in memory of the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks -- though the head of that church says he is not deterred.  For me it’s one of those things that I don’t like, but I understand is protected under free speech. I am however loving the irony of watching the people who say we must allow an Islamic center to be built 2 blocks from ground zero cry about how extremists are going to use this koran burning to recruit more extremists. Do you not think that extremists are also going to use an Islamic center being built that close to ground zero in their propeganda? Either you’re for free speech or you’re not, you don’t get to pick and choose based on what makes your bleeding heart happy. ---

I am against the Koran burning and in favor of the “mosque”. The community center’s intentions are positive. The burning of the Koran is blatantly negative. Not everyone who supports the construction of the mosque is doing so because of blind faith in “freedom of speech” ---------- Post added at 09:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ---------- That’s not to say that I don’t think that the people burning the Koran shouldn’t be _allowed_, but I think that they should seriously consider the ramifications of doing it. Burning someone’s holy book seems so fucking childish. It does nothing but cultivate negative feelings from both sides. ---

I understand that they have a right to build a Mosque wherever they feel fit. I however, believe that they should use a little bit more discretion and re-consider where they want to build it. This seems like one of those “do it because we can get away with it” pot stirring techniques. Not that I fully understand why they would even want to? There’s no reason why they can’t build one somewhere else. ---

Awesome. This is where I hoped this thread would go. There’s a difference. Pastor Jones is an extremeist. Pastor Jones feels the need to ruin someone’s life because of their sexual preference. Calling Pastor Jones a dickweed for doing so, is not so much caring about what Pastor Jones is doing, but rather making a statement. I’m not going to go on the 6 o’clock news and rant about it and I’m certainly not going to try and ruin his life over it. Pastor Jones wants to burn Quran’s on national television. That is going to have some serious consequences. Calling Pastor Jones a “dickweed” on NySpeed, will not. ---

Agreed. Some minor event happens and we hear about it for 5 years (not that this is necessarily minor). I bet you if the news media never released the fact that the mosque was being built nobody would ever know. Who the fuck cares what these people do. If they are committing crimes, or planning terrorist attacks kill arrest them. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/omgkoranwtfbbq/160100.md?page=2)
