I have no problem with this. Given that in the USA it is a protected right of free speech to burn the US flag, immerse a cross in urine, cover a Christian religious icon in human excrement at taxpayer expense, and to mistreat the Bible any bloody way you please then it should also be a protected right of free speech to do likewise to any other kind of religious icon, such as a koran. Otherwise we're saying that islam gets special treatment above all other religions in the USA and that is a far greater and far more dangerous wrong than the mere burning of some books.

Freedom of speech and/or religion does not mean you can just say/do anything you like.

In the USA no one would say sh*t about someone burning a bunch of Bibles because it would be perfectly legal to do so. That said, there's no defensible reason why a koran should be treated any differently.

Well, I'm in Canada, and I would say (in Dutch) that it is "heiligschennis" (google translate says "sacrilege" is the correct translation, I guess blasphemy will do too) and, surprise surprise, in The Netherlands, as well as in a few US-states, it's a crime... A whole month (to 3) in jail or Euro 100 fine

So, imho, burning the Koran is just as blasphemic as burning a Bible would be.

A little early, yet predictable.

Actually freedom of speech means that you can say what every you want. Your freedom extends to the point where it infringes on other people freedom. No one is being harmed by this crazy pastor's Koran burning. The worst that is going to happen here is someone's feelings are going to get hurt. It may be distasteful but not illegal.

True. The guy is a bigoted fucktard that attracts other bigoted fucktards. It's always good to see those cockroaches out in the open for all to mock.

I think things like this is just going too far. It causes more hatred than anything else. And for a so called Christian group to be doing it makes it totally wrong!

Terry Jones is just a publicity fiend and living out his five minutes of fame, me personally I don't care as for me the Quran is not the physical book itself, its the message. Although physically burning it is extremely disrespectufull but does not do anything to the message of the Quran nor achieves anything.

Also ol homophobe Terry Jones like Gen. David Petraeus warned is just giving more cannor fodder to the extremists and taliban in Iraq and Afghanistan against the Allied forces including Canadian.

Although legal, all in all a bad PR exercise for the Americans.

There are also talks about that he also plans to burn the Talmud too
