Have to butt in to this thread; firstly, why are any of you blasting this "insignificant man" for wanting to burn books that are filled w/hate? i.e.....elimination to all infidels (Christians and Jews). Would you also defend "not" to burn the books, The Communist Manifesto or Mien Kampf? By the way both books were revered by some of the most notorious men responsible for human deaths in the history of civilization.
I personally believe in the Bible and would not get in a big uproar if someone wanted to purchase them to burn. Because I know the "truth" cannot be put out by fire.
Yes we Americans do have a 1st amendment giving us freedom's of speech, press, religion, the right to assemble and petition. I may not agree w/others of different views,(which are numerous) so long as its not harmful or prejudice against me or my family, they also have that right.
I will defend those rights, as my forefathers before defended them.
