Honoring the constitution or saving lives?

In class we've been talking about the use of media to make assumptions and conclusions. Recently there has been a lot of controversy over a Florida church's plan to burn a copy of the Quran this September 11th. Officials have strongly warned against doing this, saying that Islamic extremists throughout the world will use images to provoke more anti-american anger than ever before, even though the greater majority of Americans would never agree with the burning of a religious text. A hatred of America could lead to more terrorist attacks against the US, as well as endager the lives of Americans overseas. My question is: Do you think the government should take some sort of action to protect American lives, or honor the church's constitutional rights to freedom of speech and freedom to protest. What do you think the appropriate action is, if any? I am very conflicted over this issue. Even though I don't agree with the church's statement, in order to protect our constitution's validity we need to allow the burning of the Quran, but the statement is politically incorrect anyway, blaming an entire religion for the tragedy of September 11th.
