Loth as I am to follow the media news agenda, I can't resist commenting on the Burning The Koran story.
It seems evident that anyone who would burn the Koran, is a stupid, troublemaking person, obsessed with what he "has a legal right to do", and no concern with his responsibilities in a complex world. That it makes sense to be mutually sensitive to each other's sacred symbols even if we don't believe in them ourselves. (Especially for someone who claims to be in touch with the sacred).
At the same time, I can't help noticing that in response, many Islamic people have burned the American flag. As they seem to do on an almost routine basis. They must have a large stock of them.
