On my mind is that pastor's fucking nuts plan to burn the Koran.
It's so frightening to me, on so many levels.
If someone were to call on others to burn holy Jewish texts, or any other religion's texts, I would consider that a hate crime. For me, it goes beyond freedom of speech to inciting hatred and violence. And, if there are in fact any deaths that result from this stupidity, I think the pastor should be charged with homicide.
How soon we forget that the Nazis were able to burn holy books in their town squares with hardly any protest before they burned the Jews (and the queers, and...).
