Why the fuck do they keep allowing this. It is one of the most extreme forms of provocation there is and it has obviously only one goal, to fuel hate and violence between Muslims and the west! Publicly desecrating the most holy symbol of any world religion will always spark hate and probably violence and that is why these malicious people do it. It has nothing to do with free speech or rational expression of oneself, all they want to achieve is that people from different communities hate and hurt each other instead of cooperating. Why can´t people just show at least a little respect for each other?!
No, burning some paper is far from the most extreme form of provocation.
If someone, or some group, wants to commit violence as a result of burning a single book, then they have demonstrated that they have no place in the modern world; which was likely the point of said burning.
If someone, or some group, wants to constantly provoke a certain religion as a result of cultural racism, then they have demonstrated that they have no place in the modern world
Fixed it for you, you´re welcome :)
No. If you get provoked too easily, and respond violently, you are the asshole.
Terrorism as a response to burning some paper is a good example.
They do not get provoked particularly easily - on the contrary! You omit that the particular book that the hateful inciters are burning publicly on a weekly basis now is not “some paper” but the most holy item in the world for a lot of people. So burning it obviously equals incitement. I can´t believe you really don´t understand these trivial things?!
But it’s just paper to me. They don’t get to enforce onto me what is and isn’t sacred. That’s the point of burning it. I can’t believe you don’t understand this trivial thing.
They don´t. You are free to burn any books you want privately, you can heat your home with Qur’ans if you choose to and nothing will happen. Just don´t do it publicly to intentionally incite hate and violence - pretty simple isn’t it?
Oh and by the way, Islamist terrorism is in the first place a response to decades of fossil-colonialism and exploitation of the Muslim world by the imperialist west. You are aware where the energy and plastic for our comfortable life comes from right? Right?
In my religion, tobacco is sacred. Anyone who is smoking cigarettes are provoking violence.
Idiotic.
These nut jobs need to stop freaking out about people burning books. Sheesh
