Burning the Koran

While it is that Preacher's right, I don't agree with burning the Koran just as I don't agree with burning the Bible or the US flag or ANY of the Texas flags. However, I also have a problem with us as Americans having to walk on eggshells when it comes to handling people of Muslim faith. I do not think our government has ever thought twice about offending Christians. More than that, they seem to treat Christians as if we have a disease - no prayer in school, you can't say Merry Christmas, etc... That said, OUR tax dollars just got finished paying for a Mosque to be built in Egypt, for the head honcho at NASA to make the agency more Muslim friendly, and for a controversial Immam (you know the one) to go on a book signing tour of the middle east. Our tax dollars bought 10,000 copies of the Immam's book so he could hand them out to other Muslims as part of our multi faith outreach program. Had he been conversing with Jews and Christians in a legitimate hand shaking "multi faith" talks, I would have less of a problem. I can't see how us footing the bill for him to out reach to other people of his own belief is something I should be excited about.

I do not begrudge anyone their choice of Faith. I do have a problem with our government constantly limiting what we can do as Christians while seemingly bending over backward to help a religious group who has certifiably declared war on America. No, not all Muslims proclaim to hate America, but how many of them were gathered in the streets of various countries by the thousands on 9-11 cheering? were those thousands of people who were holding signs "Death to America" in many different countries all extremists? I have never seen that many Christian extremists gathered in the streets to celebrate another country's national tragedy like that. To each their own, but I would just rather stop all Faith related out reach altogether than to give hand outs and tax dollars to jihaddists. How do we know which ones are extremists and which ones aren't? For all we know, our tax dollars could be funding the next attack on America!

Sorry, I get all stirred up. I'll be making my opinion heard when I cast my ballot in November.

Cheers
