Terry Jones is likely loony, but pardon me while I stick up for his right to free speech. While people are condemning Jones left and right for offending Muslims, I'm wondering where have all the defenders of the right to free speech and expression gone. Of course, our Constitutional right has limits (i.e., you can't yell fire in a crowded theater when there is no fire, thereby creating a hazard). But Jones isn't hurting a flea; he burned a book made of paper; offending some religious whackos who are extraordinarily thin-skinned.

Note to all theists, atheists, and agnostics: We are a free speech, free expression society. By definition we tolerate the speech we hate. We don't have to like it or understand it, but we accept it. Period. That includes Muslims tolerating well-intentioned or even hateful Koran burners. If they can't tolerate that without resorting to violent and murderous protest, F 'em, and waste all the low-life b@sturds, and send them to their 72 virgins in the sky.

If Obama has a hair on his @ss, and some retard Muslim issues a Fatwa on Jones over the Koran burning, Obama would issue him a free speech lesson in the form of a USA Tomahawk drilled into his doorstep. IMHO, of course.

Salmo has a low opinion of censorship, Muslim or any other flavor.
