I watched just like most of you and read on the Internet and heard the news while I drove and was fascinated by the social experiment of Newton's Law!
For every action, there is a reaction. Someone pushes, another pushes back. Someone yells, another screams back. As a species we are so reactive that I pondered, how much of our life do we actually live of our own free will? What amount is spent reacting to one situation or another, this and that, then that, and that again. Just writing this post is a reaction.
Now it seems like the Pastor has called off the Koran burning claiming deals to move the planned NY mosque at ground zero.
So did the chain of actions start when the an Islamic group decided to build a Mosque near ground Zero.... I wonder.
Or is this just positioning for more surprises to come?
No matter what happens... one thing I found was that the western leaders weren't really concerned if Korans burnt or not. They were far more concerned about "the safety of their troops around the world, especially in Afghanistan".
Being a Sikh, I find this shamefully selfish!
Would things have been different if Bibles were to be burned on American soil? I wonder how far "so called" constitutional rights of Freedom would have lasted then. I think a sniper or the secret service would have taken care of the hate monger. But hey... this wired world needs some fire-crackers burning to keep its attention and the rat-wheel rolling.
You know humans are amazing creatures. Within them live the darkest of hearts, lonely of souls, psychopaths ready to die, kill, enslave, rape, and do horrendous things more. Yet amongst them have lived, light filled souls, like Mother Theresa, Gandhi, Guru Gobind Singh, who gave their life and much more to help suffering humanity.
I can dream that maybe everyone will one day get along... I'm lucky to live on a street where that happens... too bad the world wasn't more like our little circle of heaven. We should battle with our Ego's before we battle over God... after all God doesn't need us to be God, we need him to be in our heart to be Human.

Just a few thoughts...
First, Allah created the Light;
then, by His Creative Power, He made all mortal beings.
From the One Light, the entire universe welled up.
So who is good, and who is bad? ||1||O people, O Siblings of Destiny, do not wander deluded by doubt.
The Creation is in the Creator, and the Creator is in the Creation,
totally pervading and permeating all places. ||1||Pause||The clay is the same,
but the Fashioner has fashioned it in various ways.
There is nothing wrong with the pot of clay
- there is nothing wrong with the Potter. ||2||The One True Lord abides in all;
by His making, everything is made.
Whoever realizes the Hukam of His Command,
knows the One Lord.
He alone is said to be the Lord's slave. ||3||The Lord Allah is Unseen; He cannot be seen.
The Guru has blessed me with this sweet molasses.
Says Kabeer, my anxiety and fear have been taken away;
I see the Immaculate Lord pervading everywhere. ||4||
