Yes. And That’s what the Swedish Government is saying. And they are right, you may be not liking a book, a book being a physical object you have the right to burn it. That’s their law.
But look at his face: This is a Hitler loving / Muslim hating psychopath. That’s what he is doing. So I reserve the right to call him a SoB. And that’s my freedom of expression.
I don’t disagree that he’s a pinhead, but your earlier claim was that burning the Quran (or playing football with it) constitutes a hate crime. It doesn’t, that’s all I’m saying.
Burning a ‘holy’ book, however, DOES qualify as sacrilege, but - as a highly sacrilegious individual - I’m okay with that.
