EDL invites Koran burning pastor to UK

#4  Tax exempt or not, Jones is a canary in the coal mine.

He was bullied by the government into submitting to 'Rushdie Rules.' The net effect of NATO's military presence in Afghanistan is that the Afghans get to dictate the scope of civil liberties in the west.

During the cold war the west was facing an adversary with a vast conventional and nuclear arsenal. Yet an intellectual surrender of this nature would have been unthinkable.

Now burning the Koran is verboten. What will be next?

Protests against the Ground Zero Mosque?
Strip clubs near the Ground Zero Mosque?
Cartoons, novels, movies etc?

I'm pretty certain that any of these would offend and inflame the Muslim world and especially the Afghans.

Where will the line be drawn?

#1  The EDL has muslim members. A UK documentary revealed that they are very loosely organized, and get together only to prevent extremist protest against UK troops. There is really nobody in authority who could invite the koran burner. In any case, the Florida cleric doesn't even have tax free status. He lost it when he started to use his 50 member flock to provide free labor to his furniture business.
