In today’s America, you can burn our flag but you can not mistreat the Koran. Burning the flag is freedom of expression, a form of allowable speech our courts tell us, but mistreating the Koran is a criminal felony punishable under hate-crime legislation…

Last week, a student at Pace University in New York was formally charged with a felony for stuffing a Koran in a commode…

When was the last time you ever heard of someone in America possibly going to jail because he flushed some pages of a book down a toilet?
