Don't Fan the Flames

A small church in Gainsville, Fl. called Dove World Outreach Center are planning to burn copies of the Koran on September 11th. They have been getting world-wide advice not to do so, including General David H. Pertraeus and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Even though the church has the right by the 1st amendment to engage in book burning, it would have negative consequences to the whole entire group. According to Pertraeus, soldiers and civilians could be put into jeopardy by the church's negative actions. He thinks that prevent the countries enemy the "opportunity to claim that the United States is engaged in an unholy war against Islam."
