People from all over the world have come out to condemn the Dove World Outreach Center over their plans to burn Korans on September 11th, and now, Rackspace, the popular webhost, has officially pulled the plug from the Dove World Outreach Center’s website.

“This is not a constitutional issue. This is a contract issue,” said Rackspace spokesman Dan Goodgame.

“In response to a complaint, Rackspace has shut down the websites of the Dove World Outreach Center, a small 50-member church which has received national and international criticism for a planned book burning of the Quran on the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. The center ‘violated the hate-speech provision of our acceptable-use policy.”

1. Nice....

So if no media will cover it, and if YouTube and Facebook won't allow anyone to upload video of it (for the same reasons Rackspace gave), their ignorance and hatefulness will have no outlet.

The media needs to stay away, IMHO.

2. Agree. Don't give them what they crave, & that's attention.

Wish the media would do the same to Sarah's Facebook & twitters.

Giving attention to people like this only validates them.

Will remember that next time I need some space.
