Quote
A would-be Koran-burner in Amarillo, Texas was foiled by a 23-year-old Texas skateboarder named Jacob Isom, who was among a group of people protesting a planned burning on Saturday. As Isom described it: "I snuck up behind him and took his Koran, he said something about burning the Koran, I said 'Dude you have no Koran,' and ran off."

You're about as likely to find a Qur'an in Amarillo, Texas as you are to find a Southern Baptist in San Francisco.

Man I was so close to dismissing Luke's article until I saw he was wearing art-student/smart-guy glasses and a soft V-neck shirt. Kind of changes everything, doesn't it?

He took the middle-of-the-road approach when he said we have to tolerate other religious views in a free country. I am not with that. Hell, no.

Ya know, Luke, it's things like that that make certain unspeakable low-lifes think maybe you only became a big champion of the First Amendment when it was expedient...
