Gen. Petraeus has said these words about troops being put in harm's way before. This was the justification for not being transparent and preventing the release of photos that likely showed Americans torturing and abusing Muslim detainees. The ACLU almost succeeded in getting the photos released but President Obama and Congress took measures to prevent the photos from being released.
Will the world see the Obama Administration and Congress take this kind of action to protect America's troops? Will there be state intervention? More importantly, can this be considered an act in furtherance of terrorism? Could the FBI and local police show up and handcuff Jones and others for proceeding with this act even if there is an argument to be made the act is protected by the Constitution? Will homeland security trump the First Amendment Rights of these loons who are people who not only find Islam to be "of the Devil" but also people who likely consider Obama to be the Antichrist?
Perhaps, it doesn't matter. Jones can burn the Korans or the government can arrest him
and his followers. Either way, the anti-Islamic fervor will continue because
Americans harbor strong beliefs about Islam and, for many, the last thing they want is
some Third World religion becoming dominant in America and transforming
America's national identity to one that, in their mind, runs counter to Judeo-Christian or Protestant values.
