Of Koran Burning and Mosque Building

I pray that the congregation of Dove Outreach Center in Gainesville Florida will reconsider their decision to publicly burn copies of the Koran, but I will fight for their legal right to do so.

After all, there is a moral equivalency between this situation and the building of a mosque at Ground Zero. They both have the Constitutional right to do what they plan, but they are both unwise decisions, because they both illustrate intolerance and a lack of consideration for those they oppose. As Christians, the golden rule applies: “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” Neither the World Trade Center Mosque or the Gainesville Koran burning reflect that basic Biblical sentiment. They should both cancel their intended plans.

I wonder. Do you think President Obama will publicly express his support for the legal right to burn the Koran as he did for building of the Mosque?

Wisdom says both ideas should be rejected.
