Should We Blame The Florida Pastor...?

It's amazing how things have changed in the U.S. in the last ten years. The influences of Sharia Law are already taking over and shoving our freedoms aside. Right after we were brutally attacked on 9/11, we were told - no - ENCOURAGED to not let the violent threats and actions of other peoples destroy our valued freedoms. We were told that as a free nation, we were not to walk around on eggshells just because we were threatened - precisely because it would eventually lead to us losing our freedoms! Now, all of a sudden we are being told to watch what we do because it could cause violence!!! Where did that all change?! The fact that our own government is telling us to watch our actions, and the fact that the Florida pastor gave in to pressure and delayed his plans just shows the rest of the world how weak we have become. If things go on like this, it will be all of the American People that are to blame for any violence against us, because all we do is lay down to other demands.
