Islam has been offended. Those insensitive non-Muslims have gone and done something the Muslims won't tolerate: A Koran is to be burned in Florida.
Never mind the insensitivity of a mosque being built on the hallowed ground of Ground Zero.
I don't support the burning of the Koran, but the wisdom, or lack thereof, of desecrating the Koran is not the point. Hell, a crucifix in a jar of urine was considered art, and though Christians were upset about the insanity of it, violent protests were not the result. In the case of the 9/11 Koran burning in Florida, however, protests are erupting around the world.
In Jakarta, Indonesia, thousands of Indonesians gathered Sunday outside the U.S. Embassy in Jakarta to protest the Florida church's plan to burn copies of the Koran.
Afghans are chanting "death to America," and even believe good ol' Barry Obama is behind the Florida Koran-burning session.
Fact is, just as the artist was free to practice his political speech by sticking Christ in a jar of urine, stupid or not, the Florida church that wishes to burn the Koran has every right to do so in America. We are not under Sharia.
The burning of the Koran by the Florida-based church has been announced to have been planned to occur on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.
