burning a holy book is very disrespectful. Sadly, you missed the point
Being disrespectful is generally not, nor should it be, a crime.
I completely agree its disrespectful, Kinda like some would say burning down a building is a bit disrespectful…
Someone being disrespectful isn’t even close the being the government’s business. You can be as disrespectful as you want, burn a Koran every day if you please, and the government should not (or be able to) do anything about it.
So is calling for death to dissenters and unbelievers. Actual murder of them is morally abhorrent. That god and that prophet are no more special than the thousands of others remembered and forgotten.
Religion poisons everything.
Most religions try to impede the rights even of nonmembers of that religion. That is disrespectful as well. Burn any book or other goods you want, if you want to protest any of my convictions. TuX-puppets, books about string theory, the FSM, my national flag, I don’t give a shit as long as you own those things and you don’t physically harm others.
Boo hoo
