Should Muslim-Americans choose between the Koran and the US Constitution? While Koran burning pastor Terry Jones is preparing to hold an armed rally in front of the biggest US Mosque in Dearborn, Michigan should his First Amendment rights be overlooked because of security concerns? Dr. Alia Elkordy joins RT's Lauren Lyster to discuss the issue.

1. The reason Terry Jones keeps doing stupid things like this

is because he's getting attention. If we all just ignored him, he would fade into the background like that no named lady from that far north state.

2. The interviewer was a little slow to understand her guest.

I think the guest was being very clear with her arguments.

3. Bible or Constitution?

Which comes first?


(Actually the Vedas came 1st!..... badda bing!)

4. I have a feeling if she had gone

on Hannity or Fox News they would be asking the same question over and over again, trying to get her to admit that they (The right wing media) is right.. This woman interviewing her seemed a little dense to me..She finally backed off from trying to get the answer she wanted.. it didn't happen because there was .. no there, there.

5. Freedom of speech

<sigh> I get so tired of people talking about freedom of speech who don't have a clue what freedom of speech is all about. 1) Freedom of Speech only applies in "public" places, which do not necessarily include churches, synagogues, mosques, shopping malls, or the property owned by them. Don't believe me? Go cuss out your boss and see how long your job lasts. 2) There are limits on free speech, even in "public" places. You cannot publicly advocate the violent overthrow of the US government, you cannot threaten the life of a public figure, you cannot 'shout fire in a crowded theater', and you cannot 'incite to riot', and you cannot engage in speech that 'might reasonably be expected to engender violence'. As a strong advocate of free speech, even I believe that the courts acted in accordance with the 1st amendment when they stopped Jones from burning a Koran in front the nation's largest mosque. Such an act 'might reasonable be expected to engender violence. Thus, no first amendment violation.
