To Burn or Not to Burn the Koran, That Is the Question

The pastor in a tiny Florida congregation who said he would burn the Koran on 11 September announced yesterday that he would not go ahead with his plans. Now he says that he has not yet decided what to do.

In a free society, we are allowed to burn any book we want, but it is madness nonetheless to intentionally provoke people by burning their holy scriptures. The pastor in Florida is obviously completely mad no matter what he decides to do with the Koran.
