Wrong. America is a land of intolerent bigots that not only disrespect but hate and wish violence on those different from themselves.

"Gainesville officials denied a burn permit for a church that plans to burn copies of the Quran on the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks.
. . .
"In an e-mail sent out Wednesday, the church said, "City of Gainesville denies burn permit – BUT WE WILL STILL BURN KORANS."


This "Christian" church doesn't even respect and recognize American law - their own local authorities, much less the Bill of Rights, or even the concept of private property.


This is why we have a Constitution with inalienable rights.  Because the people do not respect, or even want, a free society.  There is required a Constitutional framework, above the laws people enact, or would like to enact, to resist the people's ever present push toward theocratic dictatorship.

Instead of using 9/11 and a new community center in New York as an opportunity to highlight the freedoms America stands for, the people use it as an opportunity to show the pent up hate, fear and bigotry that is their true religion.


They will not change.  They won't ever stop.  In the end, the people will win and bring society into a new middle ages.
