People have a constitutional right to burn a Koran if they want to, but doing so is insensitive and an unnecessary provocation - much like building a mosque at Ground Zero.
It's OK to burn a Bible, that's OK. OK to burn a flag, OK, that's all right. But just, you know, for heaven's sake, don't say anything that might offend someone of the Islamic religion.

We will definitely not burn the Koran, no. Not today, not ever.
I can tell you 100 percent Pastor Jones will not burn the Quran tomorrow. There will be no Quran burning.
