Re: DWOC's International Burn a Koran Day
there is a distinction with what is constitutionally protected speech and what is not.
burning a cross is not protected speech, it is hate speech. the classic yelling "FIRE!" in a movie theater is not protected speech burning the american flag is protected speech. i guess the burning of the Koran falls somewhere in the penumbra of the gray area betwen burning a cross and burning a flag. this could be interesting for con law scholars.
