In a nation of tolerance, is this tolerant? America is considered a melting pot of different religions and cultural backgrounds where people are free to live and exercise freedom of speech, but this is publicly unacceptable.
The FBI has begun to collect information relating to a plan by a radical Christian pastor in Florida to stage a public Quran burning on the ninth anniversary of the 9/11 attacks this Saturday. Given constitutional provisions protecting the freedom of expression, however, officials say they don't believe the FBI or any other federal authority has the power to stop at least a token Quran burning by the Rev. Terry Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center.
I find the name of the church quite ironic. Dove, which symbolizes peace, but the burning of the Quran is anything but peaceful. World Outreach suggests that the church is willing to reach out to the world, but instead the church seems to be pushing people away.
