I've got nothing against free speech. Let's make that clear.
I could get myself into a whole lot of trouble if I pursue the points I have to make about freedom and what people and nations should and shouldn't be able to do in it's name.
Respect > Freedom.

Respect > Freedom.
I guess I could summarize my whole previous post by saying I feel the following:

Freedom > Respect.

I like your pithy way of expressing yourself, R-T!

Yeah, well don't go getting my comment out of context VEGAN.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

May I express my free will by strangling you with my bare hands?

Okay.

But in honor of honesty, I will disclose that I am now imaging you wearing a bear-suit sewn from the U.S. flag and festooned with pages from a variety of holy books and, worse, a science book!

I have a bit of a disrespectful imp in me, I think.

Oh...and the answer is NO to the expression of your free will with respect to me. Can't you think of anything better to do to me with your bare hands to get out your frustrations?

Don't pick on the leaf-eaters RT, it's not fair.

Anyway, this guy is now saying he's only postponing the burning event pending that he gets a meeting with the people behind the "ground-zero mosque". He's basically realized the political power of this whole media thing and is holding it hostage.

Afghans protest, Fla. pastor plans to meet NY imam - Yahoo! News

I'm almost thinking this situation could be WORSE if it actually happens. This guy, meeting face to face with the people behind the moque could be a complete disaster. We do not need this guy being the face of our nation. Whether people in America take him seriously or not, he will/already has changed the way the Middle-Eastern Islamic community looks at America as a whole.

anybody see the interview this morning with the Today show?

this guy really believes that he is a vessel of god....and that his actions are in no way causing harm....even when confronted with the fact that his actions are causing violent reactions that have already caused the death of one american.....he replied by stating that his actions should mean nothing to muslims and that it is them who are over reacting....yet this entire "protest" of his is in direct retaliation of a mosque proposal in NYC and the fact that god came to him and told him it was just to darn close to our sacred 'ground zero'
