Quran burning guy: terrorist sympathizer? Providing aid and comfort to the enemy?

[bbernardini]

Just two thoughts I had yesterday. Mind you, I DO NOT think of Islam or those who practice it as "the enemy". I just wondered if he could be charged with that.

(Again, for those of you not paying attention, I DO NOT think of Islam or those who practice it as "the enemy".)

1. No. Why would you want to charge him with that?

I hear the same argument about war protesters.

2. Exactly

I used to hear talk-radio neocons spout the same talking points about war protesters during the start of the Iraq War.

4. Didn't say I wanted him to be charged with that. Just wondered if he could be. nt

5. As a traitor?

It's kind of a stretch - and unlikely, but I suppose theoretically possible.

He won't be though - the people who are most likely to take that step are kind of sypathetic to his cause; they might think he's an extremist or an idiot but they can see where he's coming from.

3. That doesn't make any sense

Providing aid and comfort to the enemy by burning their holy book?
