Slate covers the shoe being on the other foot:
But when clerics in Egypt denounce the incendiary plan, we feel the heat. When thousands of Muslims rally against it in Indonesia, they do so outside our embassy. When an imam in Kabul threatens retaliation, he casts a shadow on all of us: "If they decide to burn the holy Quran, I will announce jihad against these Christians and infidels."
This is how it feels to be judged by the sins of others who destroy in the name of your faith.
Just like the hundreds of thousands of Muslims who condemn the terrorist attacks on innocents, we condemn bigoted attacks on religion.
I wish I lived close enough to that Florida church to smack those guys upside the head with a burning Bible.

It's too bad we can't make a big pile of intolerance and burn it.
