I thought that also.

He wasn’t charged with burning a Koran. He was charged with transporting hazards materials without permits.

I’m guessing that burning 3,000 books in a park violates a fire ordinance.

He’d have been better to do it in his own back yard.

I agree with that. And he is probably wiser now. I do believe that it was politically motivated and I know, as much as I know that the sun will rise in the east Friday morning that if he had announced that he was going to burn 3,000 or three copies of the Holy Bible he would have gotten a standing ovation from those who arrested him. I am also confident that if he subsequently announced that he intended to include an American Flag, that every Democrat in at least the county and probably the state would have been in attendance. And a police escort to and from the burn site would have been provided. But it is what it is. That is where we stand today.

I was thinking next time he should grind them up, mix it with pig feed, and feed it in the pig lot. Then the Krappy Koran would be born.

I agree with that and will add ,keep his mouth shut.

In this political climate, if one intends to go against the grain,so to speak, then one should keep as low of a profile as possible.

One is only to be for against what the State says one should be for against with negative responses fro the State. To Illustrate: Homosexuals and children: The State says or implies homosexuals having intimate contact with children is good. If one is for homosexuals having intimate contact with children and advocates it, good the State allows one to voice ones opinion citing Freedom of Speech. By the same token, if one is against homosexuals having intimate contact with children and speaks out, the State giving any excuse that pleases or none at all, silences them. Usually, they now invoke "hate speak" laws. But again, the serf, what once passed as citizens, are subservant to the master, which now is the State.

Saudi Arabia’s government seizes privately owned Christian bibles and burns them. Why so Sharia?
