Well, not directly but essentially.

Appeasement didn't work with the Nazi's and won't work with the militant muslim's either. Our first amendment must take precedent. Agree with their actions or not they have every right to burn the bloody Quaran. The Government, at the same time, cannot ask Americans to be tolerant of an islamic center near ground zero and also oppress Americans right to freedom of speech and expression.
Oh, so the muslims around the world will be angry with us. Aren't many of them already? Besides, I don't think burning a book puts our soldiers in danger. It was pretty much hijacking planes, flying them into buildings and killing 3,000 people that did that. Have we forgotten that part already? So, yes, I'm being childish and saying "they started it".
I think burning the Quaran is silly but they have every right to do it. Heck, Americans have burned Harry Potter and Dr. Seuss books too. It's almost an honor to have wacky American groups burn your book. If the afghan rebels get riled up they'll more likely surface and step into our soldiers' line of fire than hurt anyone.
By asking this wacky church to not burn a book our Government is backhandedly saying that we're better than muslims by implying that muslims are going to kill people over burning a book while Americans are only burning a book. The wacky Florida church isn't killing anyone. It's not like they're beheading reporters on live television or anything like that.
