You might get killed) but burning a bible is fine, or Muslims suing employers because they don't allow headscarves at work, or German authorities recommending that German girls shouldn't weark miniskirts because of refugees.

The German authority is one single provincial headmaster writing an advisory letter to the parents. Rightwingers made a big deal of it. Why am I not surprised by you jumping that particular train?

Also, quotaton please, concerning hate speech laws that say it's OK to burn bibles but not Qurans.

Baseless, the bunch of the above.
Please, check out the UK's hate speech laws on ethnic/racial hate speech - According to those laws and the interpretation of some judges/juries, burning a Quran can constitute racial hatred (many people don't distinguish between Muslims and Arabs) - Burning a bible would be troublesome and in some countries could be punishable for offending a group of people, but you would never be accused of promoting racial hatred and bigotry. I don't have to educate you or anyone else on things you can easily find on google or additionally read books on.

My examples are merely illustrative, I didn't intend to encompass every possible scenario where something goes wrong. Have you seen, for example, what happened in Rotherham in England? What about women being told to not report rapes because it could cause discrimination against minorities (because the rapists were minorities)? Could you please research a little? What makes you think it is a good idea to make two different cultures live together? Would you put a lion and a tiger in the same cage?

BTW, when it comes to law not everything is explicit on paper, sometimes we reach the conclusion by rational thought and logic - If there's a law prohibiting hate speech against minorities but no law banning bible burnings, it is obvious that burning a Quran would constitute a crime but not a bible.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
