There is no question that this "Pastor" is well within his Constitutional rights to burn a Koran, an American Flag, or a vintage Playboy if that's his desire.
However, don't pretend that it's not going to affect how Muslims think about Americans. I'm talking about moderates as well as extremist Muslims. Moderate Muslim people will be upset by this display in the same way that Christians would be upset if an Imam decided to burn a big pile of Bibles after calling Christianity a satanic religion. Extremist Muslims need no reason to be upset, it's a way of life.
This is simply a publicity whore trying, and suceeding, to get media attention to grow his flock of hate mongering Psuedo-Christians. I imagine a following of only 50 congregants can't pay too well and this sort of advertisement for his particular brand of anti-Islamic propaganda is just what he needs to gather up a larger following of ignorant religious bigots and increase his revenue stream. Naturally the media has done it's part to sensationalize something that should have been mentioned once in passing and then ignored.
As the "right" is so quick to point out when it's someone that they want to stop from doing something, like say, building a community center 2 blocks from the WTC, "Sure, it's their Constitutional right, but why would they do that? Just because you can doesn't mean that you should."
