Everyone should see the blatant stupidity in these actions.
The real question: is this even really an issue?
One that should be publicized nationally?
The press should focus on important issues, not controversial attention-getters like "Qu'ran burning" and "Ground Zero Mosque."
But why stop when they're so successful?

You don't remember the Muslim reaction and resulting fallout to the Danish Mohammed Cartoons, do you?
I'm not saying we should walk on eggshells out of fear of pissing Muslims off or anything... but seriously... if you know something is going to cause aggression and provoke violence, you stay the hell away. The stupidity is this guy using the first amendment as justification for making a stupid move. What that does is not only cause problems, but paves the way for more rules and laws to be put into place to limit your freedoms anyway... Use your rights in a way that doesn't screw it up for everyone else.
