Koran Burning 2.0
There seems to be an absolute firestorm building simply because a pastor of a small Florida church feels that he needs to publicly stand up and make a statement about the evils of the Islamic religion. Everyone from President Obama to General Petraeus have weighed in now. They all are arguing for religious tolerance. In their view this means allowing Muslims to burn American flags, kill members of other religions, cut off young girl's clits, and keep girls from receiving a proper education. This is not an acceptable position for leaders in America to be supporting.
Islam in practice is as bad as Nazisim or the KKK in America were in practice. What this rural Christian minister and a great many normal Americans see is that this is not at all about religion. It is not religious tolerance to say that Americans should accept all this hate speech and hate action (killing and stoning) by the adherents of Mohamed. Accepting and tolerating burning witches at the stake is not religious tolerance.
When it is possible to build a Christian church in Saudi Arabia, then we should allow more mosques to be built in America. And certainly it is consistent with being a loyal, patriotic American to oppose construction of this controversial mosque just a few blocks from where the supporters of Islam killed so many people of various nationalities and faiths.
This is not a conflict between Christianity and Islam. It is an indictment of a philosophy which is completely inconsistent with what America stands for.
