Quran Nonsense

After reading the article Obama implores minster to call of Quran burning the issue of the Quran burning could have a much higher potential impact than I originally thought. At first I thought that the Floridian minister, Terry Jones was just a "right wing nut job" who decided to do something controversial to bring more attention to himself.  I think that the reason this issue has expanded to national news is because it is a question of both morals and ethics of conduct. Of course this minister (and anyone who chooses to follow him ) have a constitutional right under the first amendment to assemble and protest and have their own freedom of opinion but this act is just so distasteful. I certainly as an American still am upset about the terrorist attacks of 9-11 but in the words of Mahatma Gandhi  "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind". This demonstration is simply to show vengeance for what we lost that day but the effects will resonate beyond the Church . As President Obama said "this stunt that he is talking about pulling could greatly endanger our young men and women who are in uniform". Obama brings about an aspect that I had not considered before, that there will be (and already have been) demonstrations by Muslim people against the demonstration. If this minster intends to say that he stands for  protecting the U.S. he is terribly ignorant.
