"Americans should never be afraid to give their opinion."
These words were spoken by the anonymous American who dared to exercise his first amendment rights and symbolically burn a Qu'ran at Ground Zero. I say dare because, in the eyes of the Leftist Media, the rights of violent Islamists easily trumps any of our rights that are protected under the US Constitution.
I cannot believe that I am seeing America fall under dhimmitude to the threats of reprisal from Islamists for simply exercising our rights. Islam demands special treatment above all other religions...it is hard for me to see a people who once stood against the Evil Empire of the Communist Soviet Union bow to the demands of religious pirates.For those who do not know what dhimmitude is, here is a simple definition from Wikipedia:
Dhimmitude is a neologism first found in French denoting an attitude of concession, surrender and appeasement towards Islamic demands.
This man is a hero, and millions of Americans should be burning Qu'rans in exercise of our rights.

Of course Americans shouldn't be afraid to burn a Qu'ran or any other text (or object... well, except the alkalines).
Fortunately, we've come to the path in our road of discovery to realize that fear isn't the only motivator for right action. Jesus spoke about these motivators one day on the side of a hill. I'm glad Matthew wrote some of what he said down.
So I'll side with the Gospel here and say that instead of spending so much time/attention/distraction by trying to fan these flames (both literally and metaphorically), we as the folks who still listen to Jesus should follow him humbly and show rather than say.
