New Controversies around the Desecration of the Quran

[The Architect Of Fate]

My example was specific to single instances. Your example was a mass destruction of Jewish literature.

To paraphrase  Jean Luc Picard. How many does it take before it becomes wrong? Also, the Nazis didn't just destroy Jewish literature they destroyed anything that didn't agree with or contradicted their idealogy. This instance now of a politician engaging in the destruction of a piece of Muslim Literature should give us pause.

I must ask, In my youth I had a job with a tree-clearing/Trimming crew.  I had to throw what they cut into a woodchipper. I remember along this long stretch of road, with lots of garbage was amongst other things, a bible.  Being a bit of an aggressive atheist back then I threw it in the woodchipper.  Would you liken me to a Nazi?

In terms of the worst excesses of racism and political  fascism no. In terms of incivility and frankly moral wrongness in the act of destroying literature yes. Destroying a bible is just as wrong as burning a heap of Jewish books and just as barbaric.
