Terry Jones along with his church is planning on burning copies of the Qu'ran to remember the ones who were killed on September 11th, 2001. I think that memorials for our fellow americans who died that day are essential, but Rev. Jones is being inconsiderate and discriminating against the muslim religion when he declares he will burn their holy book. Terry Jones is blaming an entire religion for the evil of only a few individuals. I don't understand why he thinks it's okay to judge an entire culture based on the horrible actions of a small group of gentleman. Although these muslim men deserve the worst of all punishments, doesnt mean that ALL muslims believe in the psychotic beliefs of those individuals.
The first Amendment says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free excercise of thereof..." This means that the constitution favors no certain religion, and there is no law against practicing ANY religion. Terry Jones is being shameful to his country when he threatens an entire religion, for excersizing their constitutional right of practicing their own religion. There is nothing wrong with building a Mosque on ground zero, and the constitution itself says so.
