So there you have it.. When freedom of speech is being abused, when freedom of speech is being justified to do stupid things; what you get is some moron extremist planning to burn a Quran - Islam's most sacred book.

Comments:Ya the Americans should learn from Bodohland where freedom of speech and actions are both sanctioned by muslim UMNO like the demolition of temples with impunity, cow-head demonstration, burning churches, ban and burning Bahasa Bibles from Indonesia, copyright the word Allah and other Arabic words so that other religious groups could not use it for their worship .... and worst still, dececration of the holy communion. Allahwakbar!!!!
