Everyone has come out and spoken against it for various reasons, like it will endanger the U.S military personnel in Afghanistan, it will offend the Muslims not to mention how outrageous it is to burn a Holy book in the first place and I couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t agree more on all points. Even though I am all for everyone having the right to express themselves I draw the line when it comes to the point where others are going to be hurt. I can\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t believe he does not understand there will be repercussions that will follow in it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wake. Will the burning of a Holy book put a stop to any religious extremists\u00e2\u20ac\u2122? NO.

His one chance at his fifteen minutes of fame? Perhaps \u00e2\u20ac\u201c after all this has to have taken some sort of planning, the media didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t just happen upon it \u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 I can only hope against the odds that the world is smart enough to know that he does not speak for humanity \u00e2\u20ac\u201c or even for American\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s \u00e2\u20ac\u201c for the most part although I would be naive to think that there are not a few people who agree with him.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">With everyone watching \u00e2\u20ac\u201c whether you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re religious or not \u00e2\u20ac\u201c This Saturday September 11<sup>th<\/sup> ,everyone say a prayer and hope that we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all still here on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><a href=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/cory-icon-copy-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-16\" title=\"cory-icon-copy-copy\" src=\"..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/09\/cory-icon-copy-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"75\" height=\"75\" \/><\/a>Cory<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As I was driving in this morning I was listening to talk radio &#8211; they were discussing the priest (I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t even want to mention his name) in Florida who, on the anniversary of 9\/11, has decided to burn not only one, but as many copies of the Qur\u00e2\u20ac\u2122an \u00c2\u00a0that have been sent in.
