Personally, I believe Rev. Terry Jones is thinking about performing a very selfish act. If Rev. Terry Jones decides to go through with his idea, it will greatly increase tensions between religious groups. "If he'd gone through with it, it would have been tantamount to war." Rev. Terry Jones has to understand that people all over America can be affected if he finalizes his idea. Rev. Terry Jones needs to take a moment and think about how he will negatively impact the overall country of America and Christian population. "Besides endangering lives, it would give Islamic terrorists a recruiting tool."(Obama) Its ironic that one man can fuel others fire causing a similar 9/11 attack in his attempt to satisfy himself after the nine year anniversary of September 11.
This can connect to the constitution due to freedom of speech. Yes, Americans do have the power to say what they want, but there are things that cross the line. This can be an example where one man has clearly stepped over the line. Religion is a significant part of many lives and to disrespect and reveal to the public you want to burn one of the holiest books is unacceptable.
Hey, I like the idea that things cross a line. My question is where is that line, and is it written in law? Religion is a significant part of many peoples' lives and if someone messes with it, they mess with an entire people-very dangerous.
ReplyDeleteNice post.
His act is selfish and disrespectful. He is trying to make a point that is not going to help America. It is only going to cause more tension then what there should be. We should not have tension with religion in America. We have the freedom to practice the relgion that we please. And this should eliminate the tension between groups.
