Let me start off by stating that I think that the plan to burn the Koran was wrong-headed. There are far better and less inflammatory ways to make a point about 9/11, Islam and/or the Ground Zero Mosque.
I have been stunned, however, by the reaction of liberals in government and the media. Outrage, condemnation and fears of Islamic reprisal for the act. Funny, I never see such concern shown about how Westerners will react to acts of Islamic terrorism or insensitivity. There is little fear that we will erupt in violence over such things.
Ah, but Islam, that religion of peace, and its majority of moderate, peaceful, tolerant practitioners. Please don't burn a Koran or draw a cartoon image of Mohammad. Such acts will incite these otherwise benevolent and docile practitioners of this peaceful religion to violence and jihad.
John Hinderaker said it well in this post at PowerLine.
UPDATE: Victor Davis Hanson weighs in.

You have that right. The muslims have no fear that we will drop a bomb on Mecca which, come to think of it, is not a bad idea. The goal of the religion is to crush the infidels of which you and I are considered as. Peaceful??? Hmmph!!! The muslims cannot wait until their next 'victory' over the infidels (U.S.A.) so they can dance in the streets again, burn our flags and launch a few rockets into Israel.
It is obvious we don't care as we keep buying their oil and selling them weapons. They have us by the short hairs in more way than one. There will never be any peace with that lot. They even kill each other because of a minor difference in their beliefs. I think the Sunnis believe Mohammed was right handed and the Shi'ites believe that he was left handed or something stupid like that. They are a vile, vengeful and violent lot. nuf said.
