9/11 Feelings: Church Quran Burning

Hey guys, get ready for post about a controversial issue!
Religion is a powerful force around the world and sometimes it leads to violence. After the 9/11 attacks, peoples' emotions were stirring. I remember my teachers, not being able to teach because their feelings were taking over. I was not able to go out to recess but was not exactly sure why. An article quickly summarizes what a pastor in Florida wants to do:
"As thousands of Afghans protested a tiny Florida church's plan to burn the Quran, the church's pastor said he wouldn't follow through with the burning if he were able to meet tomorrow with the organizers behind a mosque planned near ground zero in New York."

Burning the most religious book of a people is extremely offensive. Hate breeds hate, and if the Pastor burns the book to get back at the Muslim population, it will cause even more hate against the U.S. in other countries.

The American Constitution says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion..." This means that  the Pastor has the right to burn the Quran because it is his freedom of religion. Muslims also have the right to build a mosque because that is their right of religion. These are two very conflicting viewpoints, the only difference is the mosque will not be built to get back or threaten anyone.

In my opinion, the Muslims should be allowed to build their mosque because it is their freedom to do so. To burn the Quran will stir up emotion, and cuts into the freedoms that Muslims have whom praise the book.
Just like how 9/11 caused fear and hatred for the American public, the burning of the Quran will cause fear and hatred in the Muslim people and will ultimately end in more distrust, more hate, and ultimately, more war.

Thanks, and I hope you enjoyed it.
