    So you have a large group of people who are peaceful except when someone desecrates their holy symbols because in their culture that is the worst possible sacrilege. Is it really a smart idea in this scenario to publicly burn those signals? Think about it …

      It’s a bad idea to tell a stranger that they smell like a turd burger but that doesn’t mean it justifies violence or threat of terrorism.

      They’re burning quorans to try and prove a point. And they succeeded.

      Doesn’t matter if you or I think it’s a good idea or not.The law does not ban the burning of a book as a form of protest.

      The government can not tell you what you can and can’t protest. That would go against our freedom of speech.

      The argument of, “I don’t like what they’re protesting” is not enough.

      People were protesting the covid vaccine. I don’t agree with, I think they’re idiots. But I will still defend their right to do it. It has to go both ways.
