ALTERNATIVES TO BURNING THE KORAN

Download the Koran to a Microsoft Word Document and then find/replace "Allah" with "Algore", then throw your PC into a bucket of global warming dry ice.

Or, save the Koran file to a CD, then break it.

Or, save it to a CD with pictures of dogs and pigs already saved on it.

Or, print it out in binary code, have the tons of paper turned into a paper mache tree and then donate the tree to a dog park play area.

Or, print it out in the Wingding font and mail it to the blind sheik with the title "Good Things About Jews" in Braille on it.

I guess that Sharia Law does not permit Freedom of Speech?

Free for me but not for thee, Keli. Some animals are more equal than others. Freedom of speech means nothing if it does not mean freedom of speech that others find offensive.

I am beyond livid at this situation.

So what if he were ripping pages from a KJV Christian Bible and burning them? Should NJ Transit fire him for that?

Freedom of Speech does not mean that one cannot be fired for displeasing his employer by what one says. It means that one cannot be criminally prosecuted by the government for exercising one's Freedom of Speech.

His employer was the government.

I'm sorry but these are not big issues for me: I don't care if Terry Jones burns pages out of the Koran and I don't care if they build a mosque around the corner from the massage parlor and across the street from the peep show. One man's hallowed ground is another man's strip district.

His employer was the government.

Even if so, that does not matter. Being fired from a job- whether a government job or private sector job- is not criminal prosecution by the government.

Having said that, I do not think that this guy's conduct warranted being fired for it. If he did it separately form his job, it does not reflect on his employer.

Good grief, ..... criminal prosecution, ..... you still living in the 60's or just showing your arse?

Probably some of both, and more.
