Aren't you excited to read another blog about the Islamic center and the Quran burning?

     So, in this lovely country of ours, we have the right to express our own opinions and ideas, at least with in the limits of law. People it seems, can never agree, and maybe this is the reason we all get so royally pissed off at eachother and up in arms about everything. This I feel, applies to the situation of the Islamic center (with a space for prayer) near ground zero, which everyone is all in a tizzy about. This is mostly based on the seeming ignorance of most Americans, who automatically assume that Muslims are terrorists. Just because the terrorists in 9/11 were Muslims does not mean Muslims should not build Mosques in America. Ted Bundy was Mormon but no one brings that up when The Church of Jesus Christ and the Latter Day Saints try to build places of worship. I really think there should be some sort of book all Americans would be required to read called Muslims, Terrorists, and Muslims who also just so happen to be terrorists: How to tell the difference. The people behind this Islamic center of course have every right to build it, and in my opinion should do so. However, there is another side to the coin, I think. Mayor Rudy Guilani said (and I am paraphrasing here) that he believes they have every right to build the center, however, if part of their intent is to create peace, harmony, and show support is that really what their accomplishing when all this strife is happening as a result? I am not quite sure.
      This whole situation now relates to Minister Jones over in Florida, pretending as if he actually knows what is going on. All he wanted to do, I think, was call attention to himself, and he knew this whole burning a book that's deeply sacred to many people was a sufficient way to do it. It reminds me of when all those trashy young stars like Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton were getting out of cars by splaying apart their legs and letting everyone see their lack of underwear. Was it a good type of attention? No, of course not. But they still took the cheap shot at bad press, as did Mr. Jones. When he saw the chaos he was causing and the reprovals from democrats and republicans a like (including the president), he conveniently decided to call the whole thing off, claiming he got the Imam in New York to stop building the Islamic center. This it seems, is a completely fake claim. Hopefully this man will realize he is a laughing stock, and just lay low for the rest of his life. That however, would be the sensible thing to do and Terry Jones is far from sensible.
