  Rick I think this did crop up on another thread although which thread its on I cant now remember. But the burning of anyone's religious icon is not good. At the very best its an ugly gesture. In these deleciate times its also inflammatory in the extreme. But essentially its just the wrong thing to do. If you were talking in PR terms with regard to say a company rather than a country, it would be very bad PR. It gives an inaccurate impression of the US to the world and thats where the unfortunate aspect comes in.
  
  The US is trying to portray itself as the friend of these Islamic nations like Irag, Afghanistan and so on...bringing democracy and world peace ( all debatable of course!), so a nutty preacher in obscuresville USA is not good for business.
  
  Too much freedom of speech and expression is just a nuisance....and you can see it in action here.
