Burning the Muslim holy book "was hateful, it was intolerant and it was extremely disrespectful and again, we condemn it in the strongest manner possible," said Gen. David Petraeus, who heads the U.S.-led international forces in Afghanistan.

With all due respect to Gen. Petraeus, he doesn't seem to be familiar with the Constitution he swore to defend. And tolerance doesn't in any way equate with subservience.

True. He instead should be condemning the Muslims who "express" themselves by killing Christians in the Ivory Coast and aid workers in Afghanistan to protest burning one book.

If Christians took that much right to riot for every Christian pastor murdered, executed covert to Christianity, burned Bible, torched church, etc., there wouldn't be many Muslims left. And we have far better weaponry.
