True, but at a lesser level -- remember that these Christians have been there for centuries and this is now pushing the problem over the edge.

Well, Youtube has scores of videos of Koran burning and desecration. So, to single this episode out, is really quite hypocritical (on the media's part). Quite honestly these people would do the same, and have done so in the past, on nothing more than a rumor of some perceived insult, regardless of actual events.

Earlier in the thread it was mentioned that we have laws against inciting to riot.

My position is, under our laws, who is the responsible party for the inciting? The person who burned the book, or the Imam who whipped these people into a frenzy over the book burning?

Well,it's what one expects from the MSM -- put Christians down, publicise in loud font any foible by any priest/pastor and promote izlamd

All these lawmakers are doing are giving Pastor Jones the attention he craves.

I have a better idea, let’s just ignore the guy.
