Sen. Lindsey Graham said Congress might need to explore the need to limit some forms of freedom of speech, in light of Tennessee pastor Terry Jones’ Quran burning, and how such actions result in enabling U.S. enemies.

How does burning a Koran "enable" U.S. Enemies? Were they unable to commit acts of violence before a koran was burned? is Burning a Koran an illegal action which gives muslims the right under international law to kill people?

The courts have ruled that free speech doesn't include the right to words which immediately incite people in a way to create harm. Thus "fire" in a crowded theatre, or burning crosses on your lawn.

That has never applied to actions taken days later, or actions taken by a foriegn country.

I do hope they have this hearing, because it will reveal the depths to which our representatives have sunk in appeasement of the enemy.

As if they need a reason. The Quran tells them to murder. They murder.

The Russian UN worker who claimed to be Muslim was spared. The rest he was trying to hide and protect were murdered. Why doesn't congress investigate that?
