Acts like this, and those people who are against the Cultural Center/Mosque in NYC shed a shadow of intolerance and pure stupidity over all Americans. This 'minister' has admitted to not even reading the Quran. The Quran is not so far from the Christian bible or the Kabbalah, for that matter. They are holy books, and I agree that this act of persecution will only beget what is given. Disrespect against others beliefs. You can not obtain Truth out of an incapacity to understand. An American is no different than an Iranian when it comes to an act of violence against what is held as holy. I agree with freedom of speech - but when do we silence the ignorant?
