Perhaps this is better referred to as "Dumb and Dumber."
There is an Imam in New York City, who for some reason wants to build a mosque on "Ground Zero," where the World Trade Center was blown up. Then in Florida, there is Reverend Jones, who wants to have a mass burning of qur'ans to commemorate the anniversary of 9-1-1.
Neither idea is illegal, but neither is particularly wise. All that is likely to be accomplished by either one of these proposals, is hostility and elevated outrage and anger.
The mosque can legally be built on "Ground Zero," but it may be better for all if it were put somewhere else. Qur'ans can be burned (as can bibles, etc.), but it is not very respectful--even if it is a protected form of protest in the USA.
So why do it? Well, it appears to be getting lots of "face time" on television for the "Dumb and Dumber" people involved. Perhaps we should ignore them...
