Ripama, I agree with you completely. 'If Muslims can be so easily provoked and manipulated by a single preacher, the onus is on them to be tolerant and understanding'

We will never be rid of racists and bigots here in the U.S. OR in the Muslim world. Our reactions to them are what we will be judged on. Bassam, if these reactions concern you so much why don't you spend your

Quite honestly, I don’t know what will make this bigot stop! All I can hope for is that Muslims do not react to it-if it happens- violently and the Americans stand up to defend their fellow Muslim Americans and stop this farce!

If Muslims can be so easily provoked and manipulated by a single preacher, the onus is on them to be tolerant and understanding. The overwhelming

Musical blogs, Bassam?

I think that people in leadership positions, such as the White House, other faiths, or in the military, are responding appropriately to this type of extreme behavior by speaking out against it. Ordinary Americans can do the same in whatever forum they may find themselves in. It is the type of response one would have wished to see in the Middle East toward the

Well done.

I don't think he wins. Jesus doesn't take kindly to hypocrites who mis-use His name and twist the call to 'love your neighbor' and do unto others' lightly. He called them white-washed tombs, pretty on the outside but with the stench of death within.

I am a Bible-believing Christian. I wrote him, as did thousands of others, to kindly ask him to

Thanks, Danielle! I agree with you! Indeed, it looks like he will get out of it a winner in all cases.

I wish I knew how we can fight this ignorance and bigotry.

Great commentary, Bassam.

I think Terry Jones is in a very good position right now. No matter what happens, he wins. If anyone tries to stop him, he can readily evoke the First Amendment. If he burns the Quran without a violent backlash, he can call out his critics for causing unwarranted panic. And of course, if he burns the Quran and causes a violent backlash, he will believe that he
