Shut the Idiot down!

Wasn't it Justice Holmes who once wrote, with respect to First Amendment rights and protected speech, you don't have the right to yell fire in a crowded theatre?

Well how about burning the Quran when you have thousands of American and Allied troops in harm's way in Iraq and Afghanistan?

There has already been rioting and protest world-wide in anticipation of this Idiot's plan to burn the Quran.

Yes, he's an Idiot (with a capital I)  I certainly don't think he's a Christian.  What happened to turn the other cheek for example?

But the Rev. Terry Jones insisted he would go ahead with his plans, despite criticism from the top U.S. general in Afghanistan, the White House and the State Department, as well as a host of religious leaders.

Jones, who is known for posting signs proclaiming that Islam is the devil's religion, says the Constitution gives him the right to publicly set fire to the book that Muslims consider the word of God.
