    yes it has very much to do with the book burnings of the Nazis.

    If one person is murdered in a hate crime it is not less of a hate crime because it lacked the scale.

    The intent and the targeted escalation is the same. Also it is no coincidence that there is a islamic terrorist group called Boko Haram - books are sin. It is the same idea and the same motivitation and it is always outside of democratic discourse, where criticism of a religion or its institutions is of course permitted. But burning books is not motivated to be part of the democratic discourse, but to harm democracy.
