For those who haven't heard, a Pastor in Gainesville, Florida, oversaw the "trial" and burning of hundreds of copies of he Quran. This, unsurprisingly, caused riots and violent displays in and around the Middle East.
CNN's Cover
I hope I'm not the only one completely appalled by this.
Do you think by burning this book, even though it is a holy book, they are within their rights as American's to deface it, or should something be done, some reprimand, for this heinous act? Would your feeling's on this change if it were any other holy book/document? What are your opinions on the riots and such?
PS. If this needs moved, please do so, I wasn't sure where to put it.

Aakosir Esiris Quote: How on earth can you hold a holy book--for that matter, any book--on trial? Let alone find it guilty of anything! If it bothers you, don't read it. If the religion bothers you, don't practice it. Problem solved. No burning required! I've been reading a lot of stuff- here on Gaia and in local bookshops- there are some people who teach that Wicca involves incest- and they claim to be Wiccan in their book. Sadly, freedom of press does not limit people to only publishing the truth... Hopefully people are smart enough to realize these imposters are just that, imposters. But there are people who will believe it... I don't think book authors are protected by the whole Freedom of the Press.

No, pretty much everyone who writes/says something is. Why would we be able to descriminate against one type of person? College students are able to post blogs about teachers without consequences, so why wouldn't an author be able to write whatever they want?
