Feeding the Hype?
So after a short hiatus of writing on my blog, I have come back. First off, like my school and all my classes, no complaints. Also avoiding homework right now so yeah. The thing that got me, however, was this guy in the news planning to burn the Koran on 9/11. First off, I respect his right to constitionionally do that as a form of protest. But it is just stupid. It would be like Muslims burning the bible for outrage against Catholic sex abuses. (I know that does not appraoch the magnitude of anything that has happened, but it was the only analogy I could think of.) This is personifiing all that is wrong with extreme hate and fear in a people. By doing this, we only feed the fires of ignorance and hate, and they will not burn slower after this. America was not founded on the exclusion of certain religions- but religious freedom to all. I know I am probably echoing the sentiments of many, but it's true- it's a fundamentally stupid idea, with no reason for it and it will only hinder and hurt America. So yeah, there's my soapbox and I am sticking too it.
