Muslims, the First Amendment, and Another Bad Idea 12:31 pm September 7, 2010, by Kyle Wingfield Atlanta Journal Constitution <http://blogs.ajc.com/kyle-wingfield/2010/09/07/muslims-the-first-amendment-and-another-bad-idea/ ?cxntfid=blogs_kyle_wingfield>

<snip>Yes, the pastor and members of Gainesvilles Dove World Outreach Center a most unfitting name, it would seem have the right to burn books, even religious ones.
<snip>its planned Quran-burning truly is a departure from the general attitude of religious tolerance that the First Amendment was meant to foster. These people can claim neither offense nor imposition, palpable or otherwise, from the mere existence of Islamic holy books. They dont seek compromise, only intimidation.
And speaking as a Christian, I think the churchs plans betray a misunderstanding of the faith they profess to hold.
