This article is about the attempted planing of 'Burn a Koran Day'. A huge problem that America has and has had in the past is racism. Racism plays a huge part in the article above. The original plan of this Florida pastor was to burn Korans on September 11th. Americans are 'freaking out' about the plans to build a Mosque near the 9/11 grounds. If this country is free for people to express their religion, why are they intruding on others personal beliefs, holding rallies, and killing people who protest?
This is a comment from one of the websites I visited today:
“The notion that Obama is a Muslim is absurd. All right-thinking Christians (who are, of necessity, also Republicans) know that Obama is in fact a space alien from the planet Tharg. This fact will be proven when he makes a guest appearance during the 2011 season of BBC TV's Doctor Who. For goodness sake, let's get our facts right!”
Why should it matter what race the President of the United States is if all races are equal? If all people are free to practice their own religion? Not only is this racist, but it is also very stereotypical, especially when people imply the fact that President Obama is Muslim so he must be planning to bomb or destroy this nation.
