Koran burner Derek Fenton booted from his job at NJ Transit

From: New York Daily News

Editor's Note: While we COMPLETELY DISAGREE with Mr. Fenton's Koran burning stunt on Sept. 11, 2010, that was his constitutional right to do so. Just because it was his "Right" does not make it reasonable, or right. However, the company that he works for having fired him (supposedly for his stunt at ground zero) does go against his "Right to Freedom of Speech."

The protester who burned pages from the Koran outside a planned mosque near Ground Zero has been fired from NJTransit, sources and authorities said Tuesday.

Derek Fenton's 11-year career at the agency came to an abrupt halt Monday after photographs of him ripping pages from the Muslim holy book and setting them ablaze appeared in newspapers. . . . .
