If I were a peaceful member of this 50 member church in FL, I would consider the best interests of our soldiers, and American citizens in Afghanistan and our country, by protesting the burning of the Koran. And if the church went ahead with the plans to burn, I would leave the church as my goals and theirs would be polar opposites.

Like the Jihadist need anymore motivation for their bigoted, illogical and uncompromising hatred. I find it ironic that this makes news and angers the sensitve Muslims, when those hypocrites have been burning bibles and torahs for centuries. One quick youtube search shows many muslims happily buring the bible with no shame.
YouTube - Bible burning by algerians in Sudan before the match with Egypt.
On top of that, more insulting to me is watching our flag constantly getting burned. Heck these arrogant Muslims are protesting the burning of the Koran by shouting death to America and burning the American flag. What these assholes are saying is its more than OK for us to do this, but you infidels can do it.

I agree and doubt that they have many members. So do the ignorant lose all rights?
You think what the Taliban finds offensive should determine what is allowed in the US? Who then determines what the Taliban really thinks?

I am not arguing First Amendment rights. I have faith in General Patraeus and his observations of potential violence in Afghanistan against anybody. And because I am a person of peace, I would not participate in a gesture of opposition that could bring any kind of harm. I would choose to be a part of a solution rather than a part of the perceived problem.

I don't think those church members are interested in solutions, do you? Of course 99% of people, more even, would hear that church's message and hightail it out of there.
Yet, do we let the Taliban determine which rights to protect and for whom? Seems there's a problem there to be solved.
In the short run, Patraeus could very well be correct. But in the long run I think that if Islam is to peacefully co-exist with the west then all practitioners of Islam must understand and accept that WE ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT SURRENDER OUR CONSTITUTIONALLY PROTECTED LIBERTY TO AVOID OFFENDED THEM. We make no such concession to anyone else and we're not about to start now.
You probably think you are doing a great service by warning everyone of the problem. However, I would say your actions are more like the man who screams fire in a crowed auditorium without pointing to the exits.What I have been doingOk, let's call off the war. Assume you are President with the full backing of Congress. You can do damn well whatever you want to deal with this this menace. What would you?I dont want to have to depend on an allie whose loyalty is based on the length of their bread.
Lets call off the war until they can figure out who the enemy is and why.

You don't have the right to yell "FIRE" inside a theater either.
Or to yell "gimme all the cash" inside a bank.
Since when is burning a book free speech anyway?
BTW do you have any idea what alien and sedition acts are, Hanoi Jane?
Do you?
The alien acts allowed the president to deport any alien who was considered dangerous to the peace of the united states, and there were actually two of them. One for aliens of friendly countries, and another for aliens of countries we were at war with. Both of them expired long ago, and would not apply to the pastor even if they had not.
The sedition act prohibited speech that was false, scandalous, and malicious against the government, or its officials. Again, this has expired, and it would not apply to the pastor because all he is trying to do is burn a few books.
Since you obviously do not know what they are, you cannot possibly call anyone else for their lack of knowledge. Run along home and let the adults have a conversation without having to listen to the children yapping.
Worse than a chihuahua.
United States Code at 18 U.S.C. § 2381 states "whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."
