Dear Tyro: With all due respect, I don't find it ironic at all to urge people to stand up for religious freedom while condemning religious bigotry. The claim that Jones is exercising his freedom to practice his faith by burning the Koran seems far-fetched and just a rationale. Such a claim would allow almost any act of bigotry to be rationalized and excused. I don't buy it. I was raised Christian and I know it's not a tenet of faith that the books of other faiths be destroyed by fire. And, if Mr. Jones had bothered to read the Koran he would see many of the stories written in the Old Testament, but he's an opportunist who has decided to make money attacking the faith of millions of fellow Americans, https://www.prwatch.org/node/9421. What I do find ironic is a person claiming he is exercising his religious freedom by trying to prevent other people from exercising their religious freedom. Lisa
