“Should not be done”? No. His rights supersede taste and respectability.
Rights should NEVER be contingent on offensiveness.
To subject himself to the whims of an ever changing societal perception of man made ideals of correct behavior, subjugates his written, unyielding constitutional rights to what ever PC flavor happens to be popular at any given time. To just let it go as distasteful or disrespectful, does indeed place asterisk’s beside each right. I am not sure there are any in the Constitution, nor, based on how flippant man’s idea of right and wrong is, do I feel there should be.
People are really getting themselves all worked up over the burning of books. They are nothing more, that paper, glue and ink. I could understand their anger, if someone were trying to destroy the message the pages contain, but the book is nothing more than the medium of choice for the message. Would as much attention be given to the act of deleting a Koran folder on someone’s computer? Or the Burning of a Flash Drive that has words of wisdom on it? Maybe if the press was involved. Maybe if someone would call the press in before they deleted their Koran file. Too much importance is inferred by the destruction of some paper. Or, is it that Muslims are so unsure of their faith and it's validity, that they see this as somehow an affront to their faith?
People are people. No mater what clothing they wear.
People have always done bad things in the name of their religion. The problem is, they do not truly know what their religion teaches. They only know, and adhere to the parts they want. History is filled with people doing wrong in the name of their religion. Even people who claim to be Christian. To claim it, is not the same as being it.
I think your data is out dated. I live in Santa Ana, Ca and based on how many bean products we send through our store, there is at least that many on Main Street.
I could sit here and tell you about how all this has been foretold of thousands of years ago, but, the chances are you will not understand, nor respect the source of the information. All I know is, that it has been written down, and for years, the events that have taken place have all fallen into line, and on time. A rate of accuracy that is unprecedented in history. Only people who know the ending, can understand the question, and it is to those people, who will have to chose when the time comes.
Israel is scheduled to attacked, and its long time ally, the U.S., will not be a major factor in helping with its defense. In other words, they will be standing alone and many in the U.S. have chosen, and will chose to stand behind Israel, rather than the U.S.
