Just leave well enough alone is what my grandmother would say.
Now the extremists are gonna be looking to do something awful some place in Florida.
Guess where we live??
Some people just like to start things. Those religious zealots in Gainesville weren't motivated by anything good as far as I can see.
We know what extreme Muslims are up to too.

Gracie.. We can no longer "adjust our actions and speech" because crazy people somewhere might get violent. Burning the Koran was a statement that he disagrees with the PARTS of that book that are inspiring violence. The violent response to his actions PROVES his point. Those extremists are using that book to justify VIOLENCE. I did not see liberals condemning burning of bibles, or terrible depictions of Jesus, Mary, and the Christian religion. Liberals trumpeted free speech in response to those acts BECAUSE Christians do not react violently, they turn the other cheek. We cannot tell people dont use your free speech because someone will react VIOLENTLY. That is exactly what those VIOLENT people are hoping to accomplish.
