Dear Senator Graham:
You are out of line to say that the speech or expression of book burners ought to be suppressed. While I agree that book burning, including of the Koran, is wrong, federal and local governments do not have the right to suppress speech. In choosing between your three wars versus respect for free expression, I emphatically choose the latter. Your wars have yet to produce value; you destroy value through your socialistic intolerance.
Your attitude toward freedom of speech has solidified my view on your three wars: all three need to be brought to an end now. And as far as Pastor Terry Jones, although I agree that he is wrong to burn the Koran, anyone who thinks that Dearborn or any other city has the right to arrest him is NOT AN AMERICAN. Benjamin Franklin wrote, "Where liberty is, there is my country." You sir, reside elsewhere, as do Dearborn's goons.
Sincerely,
Mitchell Langbert, Ph.D.

Dear President Obama:
The recent detention of a pastor who burned the Koran is a hateful, suppressive act illegally perpetrated by Dearborn's government. While it is desirable to be respectful to all religions, you as president ought not to play a role in establishing a religion, in suppressing freedom of speech, or in making light of hate crimes against Jews while fetishizing much less substantial ones against Muslims. The US Constitution does not permit you to establish a religion.
Recently, in the context of Operation Enduring Freedom, the US military burned Bibles. You have established your indifference to Christianity; as well, you have violated the establishment clause of the US Constitution.
Sincerely,
Mitchell Langbert, Ph.D.
