The guy makes some good points, but I'm still trying to figure out why burning something is "Free Speech". You can't talk a Koran into burning itself. I guess what I'm trying to say is that a person should be able to say "The Koran should be burned" that is speech, but burning it is an action and involves no speech at all.

If you can do it to a book and call it free speech then why can't you do it to a building? I guess what I'm trying to say is that a person should be able to say "The Koran should be burned" that is speech, but burning it is an action and involves no speech at all.
We also have so many people claiming that the murderous response to the burning goes to show how "evil" Muslims are, but they are looking at it in the wrong way. When Terry "I'm a dick" Jones originally said he was going to burn the Koran, there were mass protests in every Muslim country. A few months later when he actually does do it, there are mass protests in Afghanistan (the least educated country in the entire Arab world) and a few grumblings in Iraq.
It seems now that the majority of Arabs and Persians, are more concerned with removing their overlords and religious oligarchies, than the actions of a crazy redneck, child abusing preacher from the ass end of America's dangly part (no offense meant to the many great people of Florida, but it does look like America's dangly part).

Did you catch that Muslims are allowed to denounce their religion infront of nonbelievers as long as they reveal it to fellow Islamics? And that some Muslim foreign leader announced that Obama told him he was Muslim?
Whatever our Manchurian President is- Liberation Theologist, Muslim, Pastafarian- it seems pretty wacked up.

It's possible for Obama to be any faith he wants, on any given day, and change his faith from day to day. I'll give him that in the spirit of free speech and integration of church with Obama state run religion.
To be a Muslim is like being in the Mafia, once your in your not coming out unless your toes are facing the sky.
This interview is just classic and says volumes of who this guy really is. It's like the interviewer had to correct Obama and get him to say his lines correctly, talk about a crappy actor in a play.

You have issues.

No it doesn't say anything. The video you posted is not showing what you are claiming it shows, it doesn't set the context as you set it, simply put, you're talking out of your behind.
This thread is ridiculous. Islam bashing, Obama bashing...seriously you racists need to do a better job at hiding your intentions or shift your ideas to try and mask them once again.
