                      " Freedom of Religion"
                         Obama defends handling of Pastor

         The first amendment in the Constitution states that " Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion ................ Abridging freedom of speech , or the press , ................." This Statement means that everyone has the freedom of practicing any religion they want.  

   
           This article was talking about Obama's response and decision about a pastor burning Quran's on September 11th ( the 9/11 incident anniversary)  Obama felt like if they allowed the pastor to do this then it would endanger the troops over in the war. He also felt that the pastor wanted this to be a world controversy. He didn't like that and said that its a problem when someone want's to cause problems on purpose. There's nothing Obama and his administrators can do about the pastor. They can only ask him to not go through with the stunt. He can choose whether he wants to or not. If they somehow made him not burn them, They would be taking away his right to the first amendment. Which would be his "Freedom of Speech".
      
      If the pastor goes through with this stunt then it would just make the lives harder for the troops. The troops are over there risking there lives for us. The least we could do is make sure everything is good over here and not making unnecessary conflict. It's people like that , that just makes the world stereotype of Americans true. That we are destructive and evil. Which isn't true at all.

            In my opinion I don't understand why some people think its a good idea to disrespect some one's beliefs , or anything in that matter. Just because they did something wrong to you. You can't fight fire with fire. Some people just need to know that sometimes you have to let things go. If that man was a good pastor he would know that your not suppose to hurt someone just because they hurt you. I don't feel that it's a good idea to burn those Quran's . The pastor wouldn't like if the Muslims burned the holy bible. Don't judge or mistreat the things they believe in.
