New Controversies around the Desecration of the Quran

[Leonardo17]

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.

Being a Muslim hater or a Hitler lover does not make a legal act, no matter how petty or spiteful, by that person a hate crime. Your free expression of your opinion has been noted, please respect the same right in others, thanks.

I did have my time of thinking on this subject. I think it’s understandable but useless to burn Swedish flags for that. They are a nation in which sacrilegious acts are still part of their freedom of expression. And I don’t really care who that guy is. But the appropriate response here should not be hatred. The Kuwaitis have found the appropriate answer: “There is a guy in Sweden who made it into a sport of burning copies of our holy book. So let’s give them more copies of the holy book in an effort to promote Islamic values of tolerance toward people who are different”
 
Also: Sacrilege is a right in most democratic countries. I am not in favor of images making fun of important religious figures as they do each week in magazines like Charlie Hebdo. But from a legal perspective, if you want to do that, you can do that. And from a spiritual view point: That’s your poison, not mine. So I don’t really care

It was always going to end in a call for blood, huh. Oh no, they hurt a book! Ours try coups. I wish they'd stayed home and burnt flags.

You're right that political islamists and white supremacists are similar, though, and one of those similarities is in having learned to coopt the language of victimization and liberal cause for their illiberal and victimizing politics.

A thought experiment;

I downloaded a digital copy of the Quran(pdf), made roughly a hundred copies in the same folder then deleted the folder on my PC.

Am I now equivalent to the nazis? What If instead made 1,000 copies or 10,000? If not why not?

Deleting a digital copy of the Quran is not the same as burning a physical one in public as an act of protest.

How is it different?  I'm destroying them in protest.

You are not in a public place setting something on fire with the specific purpose of being a xenophobic dick.
