People its time to wake up the muslims keep on quoting from the koran that killing etc. Is the right thing to do how could someone even think of comparing to “lehavdil” the torah when would any kind of jewish person ever quote any hate from the torah.
I am sure that mr. Fenten has a lawyer figuring out his rights and like joe the plumber he will become a politician now.

#10. You couldn’t be more wrong. He has 1st Amendment rights, this includes the right to say or do something most people would abhor.

BTW, if he burned our Flag, would you defend him then, or does the 1st Amendment apply only when you & Obama agree with the person?

obama is not muslim (debateable) – take a chill!

If Muslims who on 9/11 where burning US flags and dancing on the streets of Patereson, NJ and NOTHING was done to them, then you better believe that I hope nothing is done to this man. Do I agree with his actions? No But should EVERYONE be granted the exact same freedoms? Heck yea.

(p.s. I would bet you that Mr. Fenton had no problem with Muslims or their Mosques before they wanted to build it basically on the burial plot of 3,000 Americans so no, I dont feel sorry for the Muslims, they are bringing this hate on themselves)

#9,
candoning somebody and defending somebody
is basicly the same thing,
i have noticed that most of the people on this comment thread is DEFENDING NJ TRANSIT for the fireing of the Koran Burner and
Derek Fenton’s the Koran burner’s actions
SO IT APPEARS THAT MOST OF YOU COMMENTING HERE
HAVE INDEED CONDONED THE KORAN BURNER’S BEHAVIOUR

and for all of you
claiming FREE SPEACH
and that his first ammendment constitutional rights were supposedly violated
LET ME PLEASE INFORM ALL OF YOU
canducting a ACT OF HATE
is a VERY SERIOUS CRIME
over here in america
the actions of the KORAN BURNER
WAS 100% AN ACT OF HATE
AND A MAN GUILTY IN A HATE CRIME
COMMITTED ON PUBLIC STREETS
HAS NO BUISSNES HAVING A JOB
WITH NJ TRANSIT
WHICH IS PART OF A PUBLIC TRANPORTATION SYSTEM
PERIOD!

Comment 5, Did you notice that nobody here condoned his behaviour?

Now, to you and the Moose and to whom this may concern, when we speak of anti semitism we are talking about things way worse than this. The Seforim burning that we mourn was when they confiscated all our seforim, many of them were unique and rare, and burned them. Definitely it would be offensive to us, but so would someone yelling that he is the real jew and we are mistaken and forsaken.

WRONG, NJT DID THE RIGHT THING FOR FIRING HIM,
WHY???

becouse #1 this man painted a target on his back
many muslims now want to kill him for as long as he is alive and if he is working there he is putting everyone else there that work with him at risk of danger of their lives
#2
no matter what CHUTZPA the muslims have for building the mosque on ground zero
(WHICH I AGREE IS A BIG CHUTZPA)
you just dont go ahead and BURN A HOLY BOOK (the koran)CONSIRDERED THE WORDS OF GOD BY THE MUSLIMS
AS PROTEST
doing such a thing is prohibited and cowardly and not human or sensitive and truly disgusting
I MEAN HOW LOW CAN SOMEBODY FALL TO DO THAT
YOUR PLAYING WITH FIRE
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF (CHAS-VISHALOM, they burn the torah)
how would jews react
NO MATTER HOW MANY BAD MUSLIMS THERE ARE AND TERRORISTS IN THE MUSLIM WORLD
you dont insult a religion as a whole by doing the COWARDLY ACT OF BURNING THE KORAN,
PERIOD!!!

PomonaBubby, for you to compare this man’s burning the Koran to the Nazis, YM”SH burning Seforim is repugnant and historically inaccurate. Actually there was an Islamic SS unit during WWII. The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem met with Hitler, YM”SH. Shame on you!

PomonaBubby, Nobody has condoned his behavior only his right to do what he did. Just like the imam claimed the “right” to do what they’re doing. It’s reprehensible but none the less protected.

Just to recall: It was only May of 1933 when the Nazis held their infamous book burning event at Bebelplatz in Berlin.

Nobody is denying this man his constitutional right to burn books, but condoning his behavior is certainly another thing. Good for NJTransit.

I don’t agree with Mr Fenton’s actions but he has right like every other American citizen to express himself. If he was fired because he burned the Koran then his first ammendment rights were violated.
