It’s inflammatory, unhelpful, misguided and stupid. It doesn’t address the real causes of the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. In fact, it exacerbates them. Those terror attacks were directed by a “religious fanatic”, not a representative of a religion. By the same token, burning copies of the Koran is just as wrong, and in the same way. An action such as this only tends to foster divisiveness and hatred—hardly the message that the “Prince of Peace” would have delivered.
But as long as people let religious hatred and intolerance guide them (and I mean any member of any religion, including atheists, hating any member of any other religion solely on the basis of their respective beliefs), then this is what we’ll get.
Fortunately, anyone who understands that the US government, as bad as it often is, has nothing to do with ties to any religion, or official influence over any religion, and has no say in whether this is done or not done. It’s up to the idiots promoting and supporting this to make up their own minds to choose to grow up or stay in the gutter.
