CAN a church burn the Koran? Yes. Should it? No.

On this issue, Glenn Beck gets it right (The link is mine):

What is wrong with us? It’s just like the Ground Zero mosque plan. Does this church have the right? Yes. Should they? No. And not because of the potential backlash or violence. Simply because it is wrong. The more I reflect on what happened on 8/28 the more I realize the amazing power of GOOD.*

We must be the better person. We must be bigger than our problems. Bigger than the times in which we live. Burning the Koran is like burning the flag or the Bible. You can do it, but whose heart will you change by doing it? You will only harden the hearts of those who could be moved. None of those who are thinking about killing us will be affected, but our good Muslim friends and neighbors will be saddened. It makes the battle that they face inside their own communities even harder.

Let us rise above the current levels and elevate ourselves and our country. The only thing this act would prove is that you CAN burn a Koran. I didn’t know America was in doubt on that fact.

Let’s prove to each other that while there are many things we can do, there are maybe many more things that we choose not to do.

* I agree on this point also, but it still doesn't take away from the fact that his Lincoln- and military-worship works to undo our efforts to restore liberty in this country.
