Nothing can, nor should be done about this legally. Though we all should point and laugh at the irony, their ignorance, and condemn their hatred.
Pointing and laughing won't be what the troops in Afghanistan are doing when angry mobs take to the street.
Of course, those angry mobs ought to appreciate the value of free speech, but they don't because they have their own version of Pastor Terry Jones organising International Burn An American Flag Days for many years now.
This is a bit like sticking your fingers in a light socket and expecting the electricity to respect the fact that you can do what the hell you like in your own home.
"We must send a clear message to the radical element of Islam."
... by insulting and showing your intolerance to the vast, vast majority of Islam that is not radical.
It's ok for Muslims to insult Americans.
The shoe is on the other foot, now. How do ya'll like it?
Yes, I clearly said it was 'OK'... :roll:It's ok for Muslims to insult Americans.

So to protest intolerance, you suggest displaying intolerance as the best route?
The Pastor (who happens to be a real idiot [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_i0J7LH0CA]), said he prayed before making his mind on going through with this ridiculous event. I wonder if he thought of Luke 31:
Do to others as you would have them do to you.
Obviously not.
I think the pastor already knows that the muslims in the middle east burn bibles, American flags and other things that are offensive to Americans who are Christians. Thats probably one of the reasons he is burning korans, because the muslims are doing to others what they want others to do them.

And then so is he, so by his actions, according to your logic, he is encouraging and promoting bible and flag burning, 'cause he obviously enjoys it.
Don't muslims in the middle east already burn bibles, American flags and other things Americans might find offensive?
It does if you view "Do to others as you would have them do to you." as a two way street.That makes no sense and does not follow any logic.
It is not about what the Muslims want done to them.
Maybe he views the do unto others[/QUOTE]The Pastor is a Christian, and as a Christian, he should "do to others as he would have them to do him". Or does the Pastor only follow some of Jesus' teachings?
Yep, and by his actions, the Pastor is saying that he wants it done to him as much as they want it done to them.
Muslims in the middle east would do those things regardless who burned korans. I just hope that pastor calls all the whiners a bunch of hypocrites while they are pissing and moaning over the korans being burned.

and we should show our disgust by being just like them!
I support the church's right to do this. But it's wrong, and as a Christian I am appalled. This place claims that they want to reach people for Jesus. How is offending Muslims going to do that? Yesterday on my way to work the Christian radio station I was listening to condemned what this church was planning to do. However, the irony is that the Afghanis, in pre-protest of a potential Koran burning, burned US flags and an effigy of the pastor of the church. Honestly I think the barbarians in Afghanistan and the Middle East need a swat in the mouth and realize that they are not immune to protest and we will not tolerate their violent backwards way of thinking.
