- The preacher is not a megalomaniac, or a free speech advocate, or a skillful activist, evil or good. He's a deer in the headlights. Probably wishes more than anything to just get this behind him.
- Destruction of one's personal (inanimate) property, including book-burning, is a perfectly acceptable form of protest and should be defended in principle - and practice.
- If lives are lost because of this, the blame will be with those who would commit murder.
- There is a bias in the "West" about which religions can be protected or attacked.
- The President should have privately spoken to the man, rather than publicly.
- The only redeeming value in this whole thing, is that it reveals some of the internal contradictions of our "tolerant" society.
- The preacher should not go through with it, because it is contrary to the central message of Christianity - love God above all else and your neighbor as yourself. It certainly will not further the Great Commission.
