9/11 Quran Burnings


This article explained how a church in Florida is planning on burning copies of the Quran in protest of building a Mosque on ground zero. Aftering reading this I feel that the man who is runnning this is judging a whole group of people based on a few. The church is disrespecting a religion and could be offending many people who had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks and that have lived in America all their lives. At the same time I understand why some people who lost family members or friends in the 9/11 attacks might feel offended or hurt, by people building a symbol of the same religion of the attackers on ground zero. The article said, "In Afghanistan, at least 11 people were injured today in protests against the planned burning". I think that this quote shows the reverend is wrong by acting with violence and irrationally. At the same time I think that something that doesn't pertain to one religion or group of people should be built on ground zero, their should be a memorial there that pertains to many different types of people so that everyone can relate and pay respect to those who lost their lives.
