The BBC reports on the plans of Florida pastor Terry Jones and his Dove World Outreach Center to burn copies of the Koran on the 11th of September.
"On Monday, General David Petraeus, the top US commander in Afghanistan, warned troops' lives would be in danger if the church went through with its bonfire. The US Attorney General, Eric Holder, called the idea "idiotic and dangerous"."
Not "bigoted and intolerant"? All they seem to think about is the impact on America... and American soldiers, rather than daring to speak out against what I fear is an attitude shared in whatever form by many more than the fifty Florida churchgoers in question. The safety of American Christians serving in Afghanistan may be put at risk, but what about the safety of American Muslims at home? There doesn't appear to be any indication that this consequence has been considered.
